Building in public — beta opens soon

Stop spending Saturday afternoons on podcast post-production.

Cuepost cleans your audio, levels it to broadcast standard, removes filler words, writes a clean transcript, and drafts publish-ready chapters and show notes — 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.

Audio and content. One upload.

Cleanup, broadcast leveling, transcript, chapters, show notes — all from a single file drop. 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 Auphonic round-trip. No “my episode is too quiet” complaints from listeners.

No robotic voice. No billing traps.

Filler removal preserves room tone and crossfades cuts — built specifically to avoid the “messes with the quality of speech” problem other AI tools get. 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:

Keeping our scope tight is how the audio + 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 audio. 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.
