Sound familiar?
Between recording and publishing sits a pile of small jobs, and most tools want your unreleased episode uploaded first.
- Transcription services that upload your episode before it airs.
- Episodes that come back too quiet, or wildly uneven.
- Bouncing between a converter, a leveler, and a clip maker.
- Per-minute or monthly fees for work you do every week.

Your files never leave your machine
An unreleased episode is the one file a podcaster least wants on a server they do not own, yet most transcription and editing tools upload it by default. Hangar keeps all of it local: transcription, leveling, and clip making happen on your machine, so the audio stays yours until you publish. One purchase, no per-minute meter.
Questions
Does transcription really run offline?
Yes. Transcribe uses an on-device model, so audio becomes text on your own machine and an unreleased episode never goes to the cloud or gets metered by the minute.
Can I make social clips from an episode?
Audiogram turns a highlight into a captioned waveform video sized for social, and Extract audio pulls the sound out of a video interview to reuse.
Will it fix uneven loudness?
Between episodes, yes. Volume and normalize brings every episode to the same loudness target. Within one file it turns the whole recording up or down by one amount, so a quiet guest stays quieter than the host. If each voice is recorded to its own file, normalize them to the same target before you mix.
