Frequently asked questions
- What does "BYOK" mean for AI summarization?
- Bring Your Own Key. You connect your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key. VideoToMD never charges you for AI usage — costs go directly to the provider (~$0.01–0.03 per video).
- Does it work without an internet connection?
- Yes. Whisper runs entirely on your Mac. You only need internet to fetch the YouTube video itself.
- What macOS version is required?
- macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
- Is this really a one-time purchase?
- Yes. Pay once, use forever. v1 updates are included. Future major versions may be a separate purchase.
