Help & support.
A podcast studio that never phones home. Here's how to get help with it.
Email a human.
direct · no ticket queueEmail us about anything — a bug, a question about multi-mic setup, transcription, or export, or a feature request. Because SiloCast runs entirely on your Mac, please don't attach any episode audio or transcripts to your message; we can help without them. For non-private questions you can also open an issue on GitHub.

privacy · recording · transcriptsNo. Recording, transcription, editing, search, and show-notes generation all run on your Mac — no servers are contacted, no cloud AI, no account, and no telemetry. Your episodes live in a local database inside the app's sandboxed container.
Yes. Select multiple Core Audio input devices or interfaces and SiloCast records one local track per selected device. A multi-channel interface is downmixed into its device track rather than presented as independently isolated voices.
Transcription runs through Apple's speech engine with on-device recognition required — so your audio is never sent to Apple's servers, and there's no model download at all. Recording, transcribing, and editing work fully offline from first launch.
No. You can correct a speaker label or wording in the timestamped transcript, but transcript edits do not alter, cut, or replace the source audio. Full-text search works across the saved transcript text.
On-device. On Apple-Intelligence-capable Macs, SiloCast uses Apple's local Foundation Models; on other Macs it falls back to an honest extractive draft derived directly from your transcript. It never calls a cloud LLM either way.
Version 1.2.0 is in preparation and is not in the current App Store download. It writes processed audio, reviewed chapters, SRT and VTT captions, show notes, an export checklist, and a SHA-256 integrity receipt to one folder you choose. Chapter markers lead back to the nearest timestamped transcript line before export.
SiloCast is a one-time purchase of $19.99 on the Mac App Store. No subscription, no per-episode fees, no upload quota — you buy it once and record as much as you like.
