Offline AI Video Subtitles for Windows

Fully offline AI video subtitler for Windows

In plain English

goVeliro Studio adds subtitles to videos on a Windows PC without uploading anything. It can caption up to 50 videos in one go. There is a free download and paid upgrades, with no subscription. Revenue is small, which shows how early most offline AI apps still are.

Overview

Fully offline AI video subtitler for Windows. I created goVeliro because I wanted to subtitle long and short videos simply, quickly, and offline, and subsription free. You can also subtitle videos in bulk with goveliro, which is a real time saver.

Operator: Csaba Galyas. Website: https://goveliro.com

Estimated split: about 90% of the work automated, 10% human.

Realistic income

The founder reports $60 per month in revenue on their Indie Hackers product page (checked Oct 29, 2026). This figure is self-reported and not verified by Stripe or any third party. This is one operator’s result, often after months or years of work, and doesn’t predict yours. Check the live source — numbers change.

Risks

Apple/Google can ship the same feature built in.
On-device models are limited by phone hardware.
Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.
