SubMate
Getting started

Install SubMate in Chrome

Use the verified release ZIP today. The Chrome Web Store listing will be linked here after its first public approval.

Requirements

SubMate targets desktop Google Chrome 138 or newer on macOS, Windows, and Linux. You need an active subscription to the service you are watching and a title with a text subtitle track.

Install a release

  1. Download the latest ZIP from GitHub Releases.
  2. Extract the ZIP to a permanent local folder.
  3. Open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
  4. Select Load unpacked and choose the extracted folder containing manifest.json.
  5. Pin SubMate, open a supported title, choose a target language, and start translation.

The release ZIP contains extension files at its root. Extract it before selecting Load unpacked; do not choose the ZIP itself.

Install a local build

Clone the repository, run npm ci followed by npm run build:chrome, then choose the generated dist/chrome/ folder in Chrome.

Chrome Web Store

The Store listing is being prepared. Until then, GitHub Releases is the official source for packaged builds.
