About
Snipd transforms passive podcast listening into active learning. At its core, the app lets you triple-tap your headphones to instantly save a "snip" — a clipped audio segment complete with AI-generated transcript and summary — without ever touching your phone. This works hands-free whether you're driving (CarPlay), working out (Apple Watch), or doing chores. Beyond podcasts, Snipd lets you import YouTube videos, audiobooks from Libro.fm, and any uploaded audio or lecture file, applying the same AI features to all content. Before you hit play, AI-generated episode summaries outline topics, guests, and key takeaways so you invest your listening time wisely. The Chat with Episodes feature lets you ask questions about any episode you've listened to, functioning like a personal AI assistant over your podcast library. Full transcripts with speaker identification, auto-generated chapters, custom AI prompts, and multi-language support across 26 languages round out the feature set. Highlights can be exported as Markdown or synced to Notion, Readwise, Obsidian, Glasp, Bear, Logseq, and more. You can also share insights as text, images, links, or video clips. Snipd is ideal for lifelong learners, students, knowledge workers, and anyone who wants to extract more value from audio content.
