Stop spending Saturday afternoons on podcast post-production.
Cuepost turns your raw recording into a clean transcript, chapters, and publish-ready show notes — then levels and cleans the audio to broadcast standard without over-processing it. All in under 10 minutes per episode.
The middle layer between your recorder and your host.
Free to join. We'll email when beta opens. No spam — one update a month, max.
The pain
You started a podcast to talk. Not to edit, transcribe, and write notes for hours.
“Today Descript translated, not transcribed. It just did it on its own. The AI is getting unhinged.”
“Descript is $24/mo and I publish 4 episodes. That’s $6 per episode just to clean audio.”
“Descript is riddled with glitches — a phantom guest’s transcript ran alongside the actual audio.”

Why Cuepost
Focused. Fair-priced. Friendly to your data.
The middle layer. Nothing more.
Use any recorder — Riverside, SquadCast, your phone. Publish on any host — Buzzsprout, Spotify, Apple. Cuepost handles the messy middle, and stays out of the rest.
A content layer, not just audio.
Transcript, chapters, and show notes from a single file drop — plus cleanup and broadcast leveling on the same pass. Most AI tools cover half of this; the rest of your stack stays one less subscription smaller.
Broadcast-leveled, every time.
Output auto-normalized to -16 LUFS — the Apple Podcasts and Spotify standard. No separate leveling step, and no “my episode is too quiet” complaints from listeners.
Natural, not over-processed.
Cleanup and filler removal preserve room tone and crossfade every cut — tuned to avoid the robotic, “messes with the speech” artifacts AI tools are notorious for. And $19/mo means $19/mo. No surprise auto-upgrades.
What Cuepost is not
We're picky about scope. These tools are great — they're just not us.
Cuepost lives between your recorder and your host, and nowhere else. If you need any of the below, here's where to look:
| For this | Use this |
|---|---|
| Recording remote guests | Riverside, SquadCast |
| Hosting and RSS feeds | Buzzsprout, Spotify for Podcasters |
| Interactive transcript editing | Descript |
| Social posts, newsletter drafts, 5 title variations | Castmagic, Cohost AI |
| Single-purpose background noise removal | Adobe Podcast Enhance Speech (free) |
Keeping our scope tight is how the transcript + show notes layer stays genuinely great.

From the founder
Hey — I'm Rong. I'm building Cuepost solo, in public, as an indie developer.
I've spent the last few weeks reading what hundreds of podcasters say about their post-production workflow — on Reddit, in G2 reviews, on Twitter. The answers were almost identical: cleanup, transcripts, show notes, chapters — repeated every episode, for every episode, forever. Existing tools either bundle it with bloated video editors or price it like enterprise software.
Cuepost is what I'm building instead. Focused on the content middle layer. Priced for one-person shows. Privacy-respecting. Beta will open the moment it's actually useful to you — not a day before.
If you join the waitlist, you'll get an email from me asking about your last episode. Reply to it. I read every one, and the answers directly shape what ships first.
