A focused, private Kapwing alternative for captions

Kapwing is a broad online editor — captions are one tool among collaboration, templates, and a content suite, and your media is uploaded to their cloud. If captions are the job, ReelCaption keeps it lean: style word-by-word captions in your browser, where your footage stays on your device.
