Sub It

Sub It is a super handy subtitle downloader for macOS. If you don’t speak English or want to brush up on your skills, this tool is perfect for grabbing subtitles to help you understand movies better.

Why Use Subtitles?

Non-native English speakers often need subtitles when watching films. They can help with learning the language and understanding the dialogue more clearly. With Sub It, finding those subtitles becomes a breeze!

How Does Sub It Work?

This free software is built on the Subliminal library, making it easy to search for subtitles across various online sources. You can grab captions from popular sites like Addic7ed, TheSubDB, Podnapisi, TvSubtitles, and OpenSubtitles. There are also some lesser-known options like Shooter, SubsCenter, NapiProjekt, and LegendasTV.

A Quick Setup Guide

Now, here’s a heads-up: even though Sub It comes with a built-in installer for dependencies, it might not work right off the bat. You'll first need to install the Subliminal CLI. To do that, just use Homebrew's command line interface. Run the command "brew install subliminal" in your Terminal window.

Getting Started with Sub It

Once you have everything set up, open Sub It. You can either drag and drop movie files onto its main window or drop an entire movie folder. The app will automatically hunt down the best subtitles for each movie.

Your Download Preferences

The app will save the downloaded subtitles in your Downloads folder or any custom location you choose! Just go to Preferences > Others by clicking on the cogwheel icon in Sub It's main screen.

Selecting Subtitle Languages

You can also pick up to two different subtitle languages and even opt for hearing-impaired friendly captions if they’re available!

The Final Word on Sub It

If you’re looking for an easy way to download subtitles for your movies on macOS, Sub It is a solid choice—just be ready to put in a little extra effort during setup!
