Profile

Hi HN,I’m Ethan, an indie developer.I listen to a lot of podcasts while coding or commuting, and I often want to save interesting insights from episodes. I tried tools like MacWhisper for transcription, but it only works on macOS and the workflow didn’t quite fit what I wanted.So I built CastLoom Pro.It’s a desktop app that lets you search, play, download, transcribe, translate, and archive podcasts in one place. The idea is to turn podcasts into something searchable and reusable instead of just passive listening.Some details:- Search podcasts from Apple Podcasts - Batch download episodes - Local transcription using Faster-Whisper - Optional translation with DeepL or OpenAI - Export to Markd

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
