True full screen
Floats over native full-screen video — the one place browser extensions and old overlay players can’t reach.
For macOS · Apple TV app
The subtitles your streaming app never gave you — floating over the video, perfectly synced, even in full screen.
Bring any .srt file. Pause, seek, buffer — the words stay locked to the picture.

Older overlay tools made you start a timer and pray. Overtitle reads the real playback position and keeps a fused, buffering-aware clock — the words land when the actors speak.
Start anything in the TV app. Overtitle follows the actual playback position — windowed or full screen.
Drag any .srt or .vtt onto the subtitle bar. The next episode loads by itself.
Pause, scrub, let it buffer. The clock pins, resyncs, and never runs ahead of the picture.
Floats over native full-screen video — the one place browser extensions and old overlay players can’t reach.
Reads playback position from the system and fuses two clocks. Seeks and pauses follow within a heartbeat.
When the video stalls to load, the subtitles wait with it — no more lines racing ahead.
Two languages in one cue, styled to stay readable over bright scenes: outline, shadow, or backing band.
Name your files S01E01-style and the right one loads when the show changes episodes.
Your files never leave your Mac. No accounts, no uploads — the only network call is the license check.
No subscription — Overtitle runs entirely on your Mac, so there’s nothing to rent. Your license never expires; a year of updates is included.
Try before you buy: the download is free and includes 3 hours of viewing — about one movie.
Today: the Apple TV app on macOS, with full sync (that’s where the itch started — iTunes purchases with no subtitles in our language). More players are on the roadmap; the overlay itself floats over any app.
From you. Overtitle plays any standard .srt or .vtt file you already have — it doesn’t download, host, or bundle subtitle content.
No. Overtitle never decrypts, captures, or alters the video stream. It’s a separate floating window that reads the playback position — like holding perfectly-timed cue cards next to the screen.
Everything runs on-device. No accounts, no analytics on your media, no uploads. The only network request Overtitle makes is validating your license key.
The full app with 3 hours of actual viewing time — pausing and setup don’t count against it. Enough for a movie and a real decision.
macOS 13 Ventura or later on Apple Silicon. If it doesn’t work for your setup, write within 14 days of purchase and we’ll refund you.
