## What it is
Caption is an open-source desktop application built on Electron that finds, downloads, and renames subtitles for video files via drag & drop. It pulls results from OpenSubtitles and Addic7ed so users can start watching immediately.

## Use cases
- find subtitles for a movie file
- download subtitles automatically by dragging a video into the app
- rename subtitle files to match videos
- search multiple subtitle sources at once
- get subtitles for TV episodes from Addic7ed

## When to choose
- you want a simple GUI to fetch matching subtitles for local video files
- you want a free, open-source cross-platform subtitle downloader
- you prefer drag & drop over manual subtitle searching

## When to avoid
- you need a command-line or scriptable subtitle tool
- you need sources beyond OpenSubtitles and Addic7ed
- you need actively developed software with recent updates
