About

Fetch Image

Read full description

Fetch Image is an open-source watchOS-only app for downloading images from URLs. In addition to downloading a single image, Fetch Image also supports batch downloading images from a webpage or an RSS feed. When given a URL to a webpage or an RSS feed, Fetch Image will match image URLs from the web content and download them all. A great use case is to go to a folder on your computer with many images and `python -m http.server` to serve the folder. Then you can download all images from the folder to your watch.

Your video is good. It just doesn't look edited. Charlatan listens to your video, writes down every word, and lets you decide how it looks โ€” from 99 fonts, not the same three everyone else is using. PICK A VIDEO. THAT'S THE WHOLE SETUP. Choose a clip from your library or record one right there. Charlatan transcribes the audio and lays the subtitles onto the timeline, synced to what you actually said. 78 FONTS, AND THEY ARE THE POINT Impact, condensed, handwritten, marker, stencil, inline, serif. The font is what makes a caption look like yours instead of like a default. Browse by category and see each one on your own video before you commit to it. WORD BY WORD, OR PHRASE BY PHRASE Three subtitle paces: one word at a time for the classic short-form look, short punches of two or three words, or full sentences that are easier to read. Karaoke highlight lights each word up exactly when it is spoken. MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOURS Size, position, tilt, letter spacing, ALL CAPS, colour, outline, shadow and marker highlight. Drag the subtitle anywhere in the frame, pinch to resize it. Save a style once and reuse it on every video, so everything you post looks like it came from the same place. REFRAME FOR WHERE IT IS GOING Export 9:16 for short-form, 1:1 for the feed, 16:9 for wide โ€” or keep the original framing. TRANSLATE IT Record in one language, export the subtitles in another. EVERYTHING HAPPENS ON YOUR IPHONE The audio never leaves your phone. No account, no upload, no server, nothing to sign up for. It works on a plane. WHAT'S INCLUDED 17 fonts, the full style editor, and export. CHARLATAN PRO All 99 fonts, karaoke word-by-word highlight, translation, reframing to 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9, saved styles, videos of any length, and no watermark. Subscriptions Charlatan Pro is available as a monthly or a yearly auto-renewable subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. The yearly plan includes a 1-week free trial; the monthly plan does not. Prices are shown inside the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings.
