sudden drop in quality and accuracy

I gave it a video that came with a an official transcript and tried four different ways of summarizing it, and every approach gave back a nonsensical summary with incomplete sentences, duplicated words, imaginary time codes, and other nonsense. I had to resort to another service to get a clean, usable summary. I suspect they've fallen back to using the cheapest, least competent models to save costs now that the AI companies are charging more. I definitely regret paying for an annual subscription, but in my defense, two months ago when I first tested this app it summarized every video perfectly. Something has clearly changed.

Please add always free mode with local models like Apple Intelligence

Fantastic app

Enjoy this app, well done to the developer.

Iโ€™ve been comparing this app to using a workflow i made:
export transcript > OpenAI API summarize > Apple Notes and then export as .md file to Obsidian.

I think this app is reasonably priced. I donโ€™t use it enough to warrant paying the monthly subscription, but there is a very generous free trier which you can boost with referrals (more apps should do this, great growth strategy).

The thing i appreciate most is the developer is clearly passionate about not locking in user data. The export options are perfect (.md, PDFs).

Things to improve:
1. If there was a way to automatically export finished transcripts to my iCloud files where my obsidian vault is, that would be chefโ€™s kiss.
2. One thing i found very fun to use, but doesnโ€™t seem to be updated often is the โ€œPopularโ€ tab. Would love to see that updated more and perhaps tailored to my interests.
3. Iโ€™d happily pay a flat fee to use the app but bring my own API keys. Then i can choose the latest models and control the output better - currently thereโ€™s no way of seeing what model the developer is using.
4. No advanced options to customize the prompt sent to the LLM.
