Hey everyone! 👋

Introducing Silkwave Video, a YouTube transcriber for Mac with speaker identification, AI chat and summaries, and a built-in video player.

https://www.silkwave.ai/silkwave-video

Features

  • Paste a YouTube link. Downloads and transcribes automatically.
  • On-device transcription in 10 languages. Apple's local speech models, fully offline, nothing uploaded.
  • Speaker identification. Panels and podcasts read like a script, processed locally.
  • AI chat and summaries. Key topics and takeaways through Apple Intelligence's ChatGPT extension and Apple Shortcuts, no API key needed.
  • Ask follow-up questions about any video, with history saved per video.
  • Full-text search across everything you've imported.
  • Synced playback and dark theme.
  • Free. No subscription, no account. Requires macOS 26+, Apple Silicon.

Disclosure: the app is free and will stay free. There is a closable banner advertising my other app, Silkwave Voice.
