About the product
VidBee is a free and open source video downloader for macOS, Windows and Linux, with no account required. Download videos and playlists from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and 1,000+ other sites, or import media already on your computer.
VidBee creates searchable, timestamped transcripts on your computer, with speaker recognition and 100+ languages with auto-detect, so you can search, click a result to jump to the exact moment, export text or subtitles, and summarize or translate with the AI provider you choose. The transcript view shows the video player, a speaker timeline with talk-time percentages and speaker-labeled lines for interviews, lectures, podcasts and YouTube videos. AI tabs turn a transcript into bullet-point summaries, a generated FAQ or a translation into another language.
Downloads and transcripts stay on your computer, not on VidBee's servers. The download manager shows a queue with All, Active, Completed and Error filters, thumbnails, and a progress bar with speed and ETA. It saves YouTube playlists, channels, search results, Watch Later and liked videos, downloads subtitles in SRT in 50+ languages, supports 720p, 1080p, 4K and 8K, and offers batch processing. RSS subscriptions follow channels and auto download new videos, with RSSHub support for automation.
Under the hood VidBee runs on yt-dlp and FFmpeg. It is available as a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux, as a Docker image, and as free online video and audio tools. The app is free; optional one-time Cloud AI credit packs ($5, $10, $15) are available for AI features if you prefer not to bring your own provider.

For product owners
Promote VidBee
Every listing gets one post to our X and Threads followers. It is seen once, then the traffic stops. Promotion keeps VidBee in front of people instead.
- Back in the X and Threads rotation: VidBee gets posted again instead of once.
- A promoted slot on the AppRater homepage, carrying a Promoted badge.
- A direct link to VidBee from a DR41 site (Ahrefs Domain Rating), with no redirect in between.
- A labelled spot in the weekly email to AppRater subscribers, one promoted app per issue.
- Stays on the first screen however old the listing is, while new submissions push everything else down.
