What’s inside every note
Substance, not summaries
01
Three-point takeaways
Not a summary. The actual things you’d quote at dinner, with the timestamp to verify.
02
Books & papers
Every reference captured and deep-linked. Build your reading list without thinking about it.
03
Keyword alerts
GLP-1, peptides, vibe coding, that one investor — get pinged whenever they come up.
04
Search across shows
Ask “what did Tim Ferriss say about sleep?” and get sourced answers across years of episodes.

"Replaced about three hours of weekend listening for me."
"Worth it for the books captured alone. The notes are a bonus."
Does this work with Spotify and Apple Podcasts?
Yes — paste a show URL from either, or any RSS feed. We resolve it, verify the feed, and start watching for new episodes within seconds. No subscription transfer or account linking required.
How is this different from an AI summary?
A summary compresses; we distill. Every takeaway is an atomic claim attached to a quote and a timestamp in the original audio. You can always tap a line and hear the exact moment it came from — so you can trust it, or argue with it.
How long after an episode drops do I get the notes?
Median 3m 42s from publication for major shows, under 10 minutes worst-case. You can also choose a daily 7am digest if you'd rather get them in a batch.
Can I try it on just one podcast first?
Absolutely. Most people start with one show, see a few notes land, then add more. There's no minimum.
What does a subscription cost?
Your first month is $9.99, then $19.99/month. Billed monthly, no contract — cancel anytime.
