About VidBee
VidBee is a free, open-source desktop app that downloads video and audio from supported sites, or imports local files, into a searchable library. Its homepage lists more than 1000 supported sites, including YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch. Users can download single links, batches, playlists, and channels, and track progress in one queue.
Speech recognition runs on the user's computer, so media does not need to be uploaded to a transcription service. AI prompts are different: when a user runs one, the prompt and transcript content go to the AI provider the user selected, unless they choose a local endpoint such as Ollama or LM Studio. API keys are stored on the user's computer. The homepage says VidBee is under active development and asks users to report issues.
