lssub is a terminal user interface application written in Rust for searching and downloading subtitles through the OpenSubtitles API. It is designed to provide a simple text-based workflow for locating subtitle files without leaving the terminal, making it useful for users who prefer command-line tools and lightweight interfaces.
The program supports interactive subtitle searching, language configuration, account login and logout, and downloading selected subtitle files directly to disk. It stores configuration in a user config file and can use a supplied file or directory path to determine the initial search query and download destination. Its interface is focused on fast keyboard-driven operation and straightforward subtitle retrieval from within a terminal session.
This is free and open source software.
