## Description

Search inside subtitle files, and export just the dialogue as text. Turkish transcription now matches Japanese and English. The photo shutter sound can be silenced.

A pleasure every time you open it. A stylish file manager and sharing app with a beautiful digital clock.

The lock screen is a clock elegant enough to double as decor. Behind it: serious file management, sharing, and transcription.

■ A beautiful clock
- Swipe through classic, minimal, Roman-numeral, neon, and photo-real faces
- Alarm and time signal — rings even when the app is closed, like a real alarm clock
- Per-second ticks and spoken time announcements

■ File management
- Organize and store files safely inside the app in My Files
- Move things freely to and from your photo library
- Copy or move whole folders; filter lists by photo, video, or audio
- Photos and recordings taken in the app go straight to My Files, never to your camera roll

■ Transcription and subtitles (13 languages)
- Turn video or audio into a subtitle file (.srt) with one tap
- Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Vietnamese
- Translate subtitles into another language (the original is kept)
- Everything runs on your device — audio and text are never sent anywhere
- Media with an .srt next to it plays with subtitles automatically

■ Network connections
- Connect directly to Samba (Windows/Mac/NAS), NFS, and SFTP servers
- Stream videos without downloading
- Plays mp4 and far beyond: mkv, webm, wmv, TS, AV1, and more

■ Sharing
- Share encrypted files with just the people you choose in Cloud Files (auto-deleted after 7 days)
- Chat and exchange files with your circle
- Hand files to and from other apps — PlacePod appears in the share menu

■ Privacy and security
- No account needed — no email address, no phone number
- Lock with a PIN, biometrics, or a trusted location
- Intrusion alert silently photographs failed unlock attempts with both cameras
- Cloud storage is encrypted with AES-256

Some features require the paid version (monthly, yearly, or one-time purchase).

### What's New in This Version (build 12)

```
Transcription is now much more capable, and subtitles can be translated.

■ Better transcription
Now supports 13 languages (Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Vietnamese). Every format the player can play — webm, mkv, TS, and more — can now be transcribed. Everything runs on your device; the audio is never sent anywhere.

■ Subtitle translation
Translate the current subtitles into another language from the translate button in the player (iOS 18 or later). Translation also runs entirely on-device. The translated subtitle is saved alongside the original file, and the original-language subtitle is kept as "name.language.srt".

■ App languages
The app's interface is now available in 13 languages, following your device's language setting.

■ Copying and moving folders
Select folders and copy or move them with their contents — including to and from network connections. Destinations without folders, such as the photo library, receive the files inside instead.

■ Other improvements and fixes
- AV1 videos can now be played
- Large file transfers are more reliable, with progress that reflects actual transfer
- Network connections now reconnect automatically when dropped
- Tapping the black bars around a video now shows the controls

■ Pricing
- The core features are free
- Some features require a plan (Monthly / Yearly / Lifetime)
