Copy your notes
Each section can be copied on its own, shared with a public link, or emailed to yourself.
Notes for listeners, notes for publishers
If you listen for work, the takeaways and action items are the point: what was said, and what to do about it. If you publish a podcast, the chapter outline and summary work as a starting draft for show notes — a structure to edit rather than a blank page. Either way the output is organized into labeled sections instead of one long block, so you can keep the parts you need and drop the rest.
What gets generated
Summary, key takeaways, action items, notable quotes, and a chapter outline on every plan. Starter and Pro add a tweet thread and an email-ready summary; Pro also generates a LinkedIn post written from a listener's point of view with the show and episode credited.
Keeping notes searchable
Every recap you generate stays in your history with the podcast name, episode title, and date, and unread recaps are flagged so you can pick up where you left off.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the generated notes as show notes for my podcast?
Yes. The summary and chapter outline are designed to be edited into show notes. Review them before publishing — they are a first draft, not a substitute for your own voice.
Do the notes include timestamps?
Recapful generates a chapter outline describing each segment of the episode in order. It maps the structure of the conversation rather than exact clock timestamps.
Can I choose which sections are generated?
Yes. You select the outputs you want before the episode is processed, so you are not wading through sections you will not use.
How much does it cost?
The free plan includes 5 episodes per month. Starter is $5 a month for 30 episodes and Pro is $15 a month for 100, with the extra outputs included.
