- Local video playback: Open common video formats from your Mac, Downloads folder, or folders you choose.

More than a subtitle overlay
- Your own User TV URLs: Add an authorized HTTP/HTTPS live URL, such as HLS, for live AI captions and translation. User TV is free; no channels, catalog, or playlist imports are supplied.
- Media browsing and controls: Browse recent media and Downloads, drag files into the app, use keyboard shortcuts, and adjust subtitle sources and display.
- Speech models and language packs: Choose local speech models and prepare translation language packs in Settings; performance depends on your Mac and the source.

Your video stays on your Mac
