Get Vanpelt Studio.

A desktop app for Mac and Windows. Your footage stays on your machine: transcription runs locally, and only derived text is ever sent to the AI you choose.

The app opens on an activation screen and will not go past it without a key, so start here. Monthly begins with 7 days free and the key arrives by email the moment you buy.

AI included Studio $29/mo Everything the app does, with the AI built in. No key, no separate subscription, no setup - download, activate, work.
  • AI included - a monthly allowance sized for steady weekly output
  • Top-up credit packs in-app if you run long
  • Your footage never leaves your machine
  • Cancel anytime

✦  Bring your own AI instead For creators who already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, or want per-token billing on their own key. From $12/mo.

Same app, every feature - the AI just runs on what you already have: your Claude or ChatGPT subscription (the app detects the CLI on your machine, nothing extra to buy) or your own Anthropic/OpenAI API key. Nothing marked up, full cost control.

The download is open to everyone, no account and no email required. Install it and paste the key from your receipt on the first screen.

On a phone? This is a desktop app. Open vanpelt.studio/download on your computer, which is where you will actually use it.

Lost your key? It is in your Polar receipt email. If you cannot find it, email hello@vanpeltventures.org and I will resend it.

If your Mac or Windows blocks the install

macOS: the build is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens normally. Move it to your Applications folder first: running it from Downloads makes macOS re-ask for permissions every launch.

Windows: the installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will warn you. Click More info, then Run anyway. It is the same build, just without a certificate yet.

Still stuck? Email hello@vanpeltventures.org.

Not sure it is for you yet? Book 20 minutes with me and I will tell you straight whether it fits your channel.
