Why I'm building it

I'm AuDHD, and staying on point is hard. I wanted one simple web app for the whole show. Today that job is spread across a recorder, cleanup plugins for my noisy, untreated basement, a hosting service, and Podscriber for titles, descriptions and social drafts. Podstudio starts with the parts that have to be right first: recording that never loses audio, and a feed and show site that run on my own server.

What it does

Recording that keeps your audio 48 kHz, 24-bit WAV, recorded in the browser and uploaded in two-second chunks. The server checks each one before it counts as saved.
Retake with a tone Press K to mark a bad take. A tone goes into the recording and a marker is stored at the exact sample, so you can find the spot by eye or by ear.
Crash recovery Close the tab or lose the connection mid-take, and the take comes back when you reopen it, with an honest count of anything that never got saved.
An RSS feed Ready for Apple and Spotify, with Podcasting 2.0 tags and a self-check. Pick a date and the episode publishes on time.
A public show site Show and episode pages, hosts and guests, and a player that keeps playing as you browse. No cookies and no trackers.
Show notes, embeds and artwork A rich-text editor for show notes, a player you can embed on any site, and artwork resized for you.

Where it stands

Podstudio is in development and only partly built. Solo recording, episodes, the RSS feed and the public site work end to end on one home server. Recording has only been tested with a simulated microphone in Chromium, not yet on real audio hardware or in Firefox or Safari, and there is no pause and resume yet.

The voice-follow teleprompter is coming, and the hotkey pads for sound effects and music may come back. Not built yet: the multitrack editor, noise reduction and voice FX, remote guests, analytics and AI tools. Expect rough edges and changes until the first release.
