What is the best AI subtitle editor for Mac in 2026?

[YeefyisOK]

I've been looking for a subtitle editor on Mac that supports batch processing, speech recognition, and translation. Most tools are either Windows-only or require uploading to the cloud. What are the options for a fully offline, privacy-friendly subtitle editor on macOS?

I built GeekLink specifically for this use case. Here's what it does:

Core features:

• AI speech recognition — auto-generates subtitles from video audio, supports 13+ languages (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, etc.)
• Subtitle extraction from video frames — reads subtitles that are baked into the video image and converts them to editable text
• AI translation — translates subtitles between any of the 13+ supported languages (182 language pairs)
• Subtitle burn-in — renders subtitles back into the video with customizable styles
• Batch processing — import dozens of videos and process them all at once

Why it's different from most tools:

• Runs 100% locally on your Mac (Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3/M4). No cloud upload, no internet required for core features
• Built-in subtitle editor with bilingual display
• One pipeline from raw video → subtitles → translation → export

Limitations:

• macOS only (13.0+), Apple Silicon only — no Windows, no Intel Mac
• Free version has a 5-minute OCR limit per video and 1 video in library
