Video & Audio — pay-once tools
Record, caption, transcribe and ship video and audio without a monthly bill — screen recorders, caption generators, transcription and podcast hosting you pay for once.
Video and audio work used to mean a stack of monthly rentals: a recorder, a captioning tool, a transcription service, a podcast host. This category replaces all of them with software you buy once. BloomRecorder captures your screen, camera or both entirely on your machine, with unlimited recording length. Captionly and WhisperDesk turn speech into text locally — auto-captions with karaoke-style highlighting in one, unlimited transcription minutes with TXT, SRT and VTT export in the other. WisperTalk gives you lifetime AI dictation for Windows and macOS. Clip Pipeline and Reelsnag handle the repurposing grind: downloading, trimming and re-voicing social clips in bulk. Voicebarn generates unlimited neural text-to-speech locally, and Castport hosts your podcast — episodes in, a valid RSS feed, public pages and an embeddable player out — for a single payment. Every minute you produce is yours, with no cloud caps and no renewal date.

The whole suite, one payment
Every app on this page — plus the rest of the 102-app catalog — is in the OneTimeSuite bundle. The suite is $97 right now (the price rises $1 with every sale during the 100-days launch), and every app shipped later joins it for free.
Honest answers
Are these really one-time purchases?
Yes. Every app in Video & Audio is a single payment — prices on this page run from $24 to $99, once. No renewals, no per-seat fees, no usage meters.
Do I get updates?
Yes. Buying includes updates, and every app ships with MIT-licensed source on GitHub — so even the code is yours to keep, audit and build on. New apps added to the suite later never raise the price of what you already bought.
Self-hosted or desktop — what is the difference?
This category has 10 desktop apps and 0 self-hosted web apps. Desktop apps run locally on your machine — private, offline-capable, nothing uploaded. Self-hosted web apps run on your own server or VPS, so you and your team can reach them from anywhere while the data stays on hardware you control.
