The record

Product: Bowdler is a macOS app that automates video editing tasks using local AI that runs on the Mac.
Editing features: It supports transcript editing, silence removal, subtitle generation, profanity censorship, and multicam sync.
Transcript editing: Users can select words or sentences to cut, remove filler words and bad takes, mute profanity, or generate subtitles.
Censorship: The app detects profanity and lets users review detections before export, with silence, beep, or custom audio as censor options.
Local processing: Transcription, silence detection, subtitles, censorship, and multicam sync run locally; license activation is the feature that requires internet.
Privacy: The maker says video and audio never leave the Mac and that it does not collect usage analytics, crash reports, or tracking data from licensed users.
Trial: The free trial includes 8 real exports without a watermark or account, with all editing features and basic Whisper models.
System requirements: Bowdler requires macOS 14 or later and Apple Silicon; an Intel build is not available.
Exports: Supported exports include SRT, VTT, FCPXML 1.10, FCP7 XMEML, a DaVinci Resolve timeline, and flattened media; multicam export is FCPXML only.
File formats: It accepts MP4, MOV, M4V, MXF, MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A, and AIFF, plus codecs supported natively by macOS.
License limit: One license covers one active Mac at a time, and transfers to a new Mac have a 30-day cooldown.
Refunds: The maker offers a full refund when requested within 14 days of purchase.
Support: The maker says they respond to email within 24–48 hours on weekdays.
