Is GeekLink free to use?

Yes. GeekLink offers a 7-day free trial with full access to Pro features. No sign-up required.

Does GeekLink work without internet?

Speech recognition and OCR run 100% locally with no internet required. AI translation uses a cloud API, so an internet connection is needed for that step.

What Mac chips does GeekLink support?

GeekLink requires Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, or M4). Intel Macs are not supported. macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later is required.

Can GeekLink extract subtitles already burned into a video?

Yes. GeekLink's OCR engine can detect and extract hardcoded (burned-in) subtitles from any video, even without an audio track.

Exports: ~/Movies/GeekLink Exports/

How to activate Pro?

A 7-day free trial starts automatically on first install — no sign-up or login ever needed, all Pro features are available right away. After the trial, click "Activate" in the top-right and enter your license key to continue.

Which languages are supported for translation?

40+ languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish, etc.

What if I get a "no write permission" error?

GeekLink writes to ~/Library/Application Support/GeekLink/ and ~/Movies/GeekLink Exports/ by default.
If you still see permission errors:
1) Make sure the output path is under your user directory — avoid read-only disks or restricted folders.
2) Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files and Folders, and confirm GeekLink has access.
3) If the file is on an external drive or cloud-synced folder, copy it to a local directory first.
4) Quit and relaunch GeekLink, then try again.

Does it require internet?

Speech recognition and subtitle recognition require internet on first use to download models, then both work offline. AI translation (DeepSeek) requires internet.

How should I update the app?

You can click "Check for updates" in the top-right corner of the app, then choose "Update & Restart".
If macOS shows a permission prompt, click "Allow" first.
Only if automatic installation still does not finish should you open the DMG that was already downloaded (or re-download the latest DMG from the official website) and drag the new version into Applications to replace the old one.

Does the lifetime license include future updates?

Yes. GeekLink's lifetime license is a one-time purchase that includes every future app update at no additional cost — new features, performance improvements, and new language support are all included. There are no recurring fees or upgrade charges. The 24M AI translation tokens included with the license never expire.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. GeekLink offers a 7-day no-questions-asked refund policy on all plans. Request a refund through the Lemon Squeezy customer portal within 7 days of purchase.
