VidBee is a free, open-source Electron desktop app for downloading video and audio from 1000+ sites (via yt-dlp) and importing local media. It generates searchable, timestamped transcripts with speaker labels using local speech-to-text models, then lets you summarize, translate, or ask questions with your chosen AI provider.
Use cases
- download youtube videos and playlists
- transcribe video to searchable text locally
- summarize a podcast transcript with ai
- auto-download new videos from a channel via rss
- extract subtitles as srt files
- search a transcript for a spoken phrase and jump to that moment
- translate a video transcript
When to choose
- you want a gui alternative to yt-dlp with queue and playlist support
- you need private, on-device transcription without uploading audio to the cloud
- you want to bring your own AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.) for summaries
- you want downloads, transcripts, and AI prompts in one desktop workflow
When to avoid
- you need only a lightweight command-line downloader (use yt-dlp directly)
- you require server-side or cloud transcription at scale
- you need video editing beyond basic conversion and subtitle tasks
- you want a mobile or web-based solution
