Yes. Whisper AI runs locally on your computer. No API costs, no usage limits, no data leaving your machine. Ever.
Free with Ollama or LM Studio (local AI). If you prefer cloud AI (OpenAI/Claude), it's about $0.01-0.05 per video using your own API key.
Your purchase covers all 1.x updates through 2030+. When 2.x eventually releases, existing customers get a significant loyalty discount. The software you paid for keeps working forever.
Yes. Loki Studio is licensed for personal and commercial use. Use it for your YouTube channel, client work, or agency workflow.
Because transcription is the foundation of Loki Studio, and it happens locally on your machine. Loki's transcripts power closed captions, translations, metadata, thumbnail text, and AI summaries. You can review and correct misspellings once, and those corrections automatically improve everything downstream. YouTube's transcription is cloud-only, isolated, and disposable. Loki's is yours.
They do pieces of it. In the cloud, behind subscriptions, with limited reuse. Loki Studio runs locally, keeps all data on your machine, uses transcripts as a shared source of truth, and automates the entire post-recording workflow. This isn't feature overlap. It's a workflow replacement.
Because stitched workflows break context, lose data, destroy multi-track audio, require copy/paste, and don't scale. Loki Studio keeps the entire process local, connected, and owned by you.
Loki Studio is local-first by design. Video files stay on your machine. Transcription, metadata generation, and thumbnails all run locally. Nothing is uploaded unless you explicitly choose a cloud LLM provider, and even then, only text, never video.
You do. Completely. Loki Studio does not upload your videos, store your content, analyze your data remotely, or train models on your work. There is no hidden telemetry pipeline.
Your software keeps working. Loki Studio does not require always-on servers, subscription validation, cloud authentication, or periodic check-ins. There is no kill switch.
No. Loki Studio uses a perpetual license. If payments stop, the software does not.
Because creators shouldn't rent access to their own workflow. Local software means predictable performance, no outages, no quota limits, no surprise policy changes, and no data exposure. Loki Studio treats your computer as the authority, not a server.
