✂️ Clips — Extract the Best Moments from Any Podcast

The brand-new Clips feature lets you capture the most valuable moments from any episode — save, share, and export them in one seamless flow.

  • One-tap creation: Create a clip from the player or by selecting text in the transcript — works with both audio and video

  • Dedicated clip page: Each clip has its own page with a summary, playback controls, and full content

  • Clips tab on episodes: A new Clips tab on each episode page lets you browse all saved moments in one place

  • Share to social: Automatically generates a beautifully designed share image — copy the image or a public link with one click

  • Export to Notion: Send clips to your Notion database, with separate configuration for Episode and Clip databases

  • Export to Readwise: Sync clips as Highlights to your Readwise account


🔒 Private Import for YouTube & 小宇宙

Previously, only RSS imports supported private mode. Now you can import YouTube channels/videos and 小宇宙 (Xiaoyuzhou) podcasts/episodes as private too — only you can see and process them.
