About VidBee

VidBee is a free, open-source desktop application for downloading and organizing video and audio from supported sites or importing local media. It provides a download queue, playlists and channel downloads, format and subtitle options, subscription feeds, batch processing, and local file organization. VidBee can create searchable transcripts with timestamps and speaker labels using speech-recognition models on the user's computer, then export text or subtitles. Users can search transcripts and jump to matching moments, or run prompts to summarize, translate, and structure transcript content with cloud or local AI providers they configure. A Docker-based web/API edition can be self-hosted on a NAS, home server, or cloud VM and accessed through a browser on the local network. Desktop builds are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
