Record anywhere and sound like you were in a studio. Gleam Audio takes out fans, hum, traffic and room noise, and keeps your voice clear and natural. Then it levels, trims and converts the result in the same window, and it never touches your original files.

AI noise removal and audio editing in one app

Remove background noise from voice recordings

Fans, hum, traffic, a buzzing fridge: gone. A deep learning model trained on human speech keeps your voice and drops everything else. Dial the strength back when you want to keep a touch of the room.

Even out loudness for podcasts and audiobooks

Pick where your audio is going, a podcast, an audiobook, music streaming or broadcast, and Gleam Audio evens out the volume to the level that place expects. It clears away the low rumble mics pick up from desks and traffic too.

Each file in the list shows how loud it is now, so you can see how far it has to go.

Record from a mic or an audio interface

Pick your mic and press Record, with a level meter to keep you out of the red. With an audio interface, each mic can go to its own file. Takes land in the list, ready to clean up.

Shorten long pauses in speech

Remove silence finds the long pauses and shortens them to the length you pick. What counts as quiet comes from each recording’s own background noise.

Trim recordings on a picture of the sound

See your recording as a picture of the sound, so silences, coughs and mistakes are easy to spot. Drag two handles and keep only what’s between them.

Split long recordings into chapters and clips

Turn a long session into episodes, chapters or clips. Mark where each part starts, or split evenly into as many parts as you need, then play any part to check it before you save.

Join clips into one file

Put an intro, an interview and an outro together in one file. Set the order with the arrows and add a short gap between clips if you like.

Change the speed and keep the pitch

Speed up a lecture or slow down a fast talker, anywhere from half speed to double. Voices keep their pitch.

Convert audio to any format

Save as mp3, wav, m4a, flac, ogg or opus, at the quality you choose, ready for any platform or editor.

Video files work too. Drop in an mp4 or a mov and every tool saves just the sound.

Batch process a whole session at once

Drop in every file from a recording day, or a whole podcast season, and clean them all in one run. Every tool but Record, Cut and Split works on the full list.

Results are saved next to your originals or in a folder you pick, with names you choose, like interview-clean.wav.

Made for creators who care how they sound

  • Podcasters. Clean up every guest’s mic, even remote guests on laptops, and bring each episode to podcast loudness before you publish.
  • Voiceover artists. Record a clean take in a spare room, not just a booth, and send clients files in exactly the format they asked for.
  • Audiobook narrators. Take the room noise out of long chapters, keep the volume even across sessions, and split the book into chapter files.
  • YouTubers and video creators. Fix noisy voiceovers and on-location audio before it goes into your editor.
  • Musicians. Trim demos, split live sets into songs, level tracks for streaming, and convert to whatever a platform or bandmate needs.
  • Teachers, students and journalists. Clean up lectures, interviews and voice notes recorded in busy rooms.

What creators say

Most tools price out independent creators with crazy monthly fees. Getting powerful audio cleaning, noise sliders, and split/cut tools that run 100% privately on my own computer is a massive win.

Saving around four times what I used to pay for Hush. Handling my weekly batch of episodes locally on my Mac offline is a huge upgrade.

Why creators switch to Gleam Audio

  • Hard things made easy. Old-style noise reduction makes you sample the noise and tune settings by ear. Gleam Audio’s AI is trained on human speech, so it tells voice from noise on its own and cleans it in one pass.
  • No booth or pro suite needed. Clean recordings used to need a treated room, or repair software with dozens of tools to learn. Here, one click takes the background noise out of a home recording.
  • Your audio stays yours. Most AI cleanup tools need you to upload your recordings first. Gleam Audio does all the work on your computer, so unreleased episodes and client work stay private.
  • Works with no internet. Cloud tools wait on uploads and stall when the connection drops. Gleam Audio runs fully offline.
  • Batch without the upgrade. Many tools clean one file at a time, or keep batch jobs for paid plans. Gleam Audio cleans a whole list in one run, even on the free plan.
  • Pay once, not by the hour. Cloud services often charge for hours of audio or a monthly plan. Gleam Audio is free for personal use, and a license for work is one payment, at a price you choose.
  • Never ruins a file. Some editors save over the file you opened. Every result here is a new file, and your originals stay exactly as they were.
  • Works on any computer. The same app on Mac, Windows and Linux, with everything it needs inside.

Questions

Is it really free? Yes. Every feature is free for personal use, up to 20 files a week. You only need a license for paid work.

What counts as commercial use? Anything you’re paid for or that earns money: client projects, a sponsored or monetised podcast or channel, or audio for a product. Your own recordings and hobby projects are personal use.

Do I need an internet connection? No. Gleam Audio works fully offline. It goes online only to check for updates and your license.

Is my audio uploaded anywhere? Never. All the work happens on your computer.

How is it different from Audacity, Adobe Podcast or Auphonic? Audacity is a full multitrack editor, where noise reduction starts with a sample of the noise. Adobe Podcast and Auphonic clean speech in the cloud, so you upload first. Gleam Audio cleans speech with AI on your own computer, a whole batch at a time, and more editing tools are coming in future updates. Compare it with Audacity, Adobe Podcast, Auphonic, Descript, iZotope RX and Hush.

Which files does it work with? All the common ones, including wav, mp3, m4a, flac, ogg and opus, and it can save to any of them.

Will it run on my computer? It runs on macOS, on Apple silicon and Intel, on Windows and on Linux.

Can I move my license to a new computer? Yes. Remove it from the old computer in the app, then activate it on the new one. How licenses work

2.1, hear the difference

Gleam Audio 2.1 lets you hear a recording before and after with one switch. It also makes long batches and everyday use a little easier.

New

  • Before and After. After Remove noise, Enhance or Convert, switch between the original and the result. It keeps playing from the same moment, so you hear what changed.
  • Progress on the app icon. Start a batch and get on with other work. The icon in the Dock or taskbar fills up as files finish, and bounces when the run is done.
  • Keyboard shortcuts. ⌘O adds files, ⌘↩ runs, Esc stops, and ⌘1 to ⌘9 pick a tool. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl.
  • Your last tool. The app opens on the tool you used last, with your settings.
  • Send feedback. Help › Send feedback opens an email to us, with your version filled in.
  • Usage stats you control. New installs send anonymous stats, like which tools get used. Never your audio or file names. If you already use Gleam Audio, they stay off unless you turn them on under Help › Privacy.

To update, open Gleam Audio and click Check for updates in the sidebar. Every change is in the 2.1.0 release notes.

2.0, record and four new tools

Gleam Audio now records. Four new tools shorten pauses, change the speed and join clips, and every tool takes video files for their sound.

New

  • Record from a mic or an audio interface, one file per mic if you like.
  • Remove silence shortens the long pauses in a recording.
  • Change speed from 0.5× to 2× and keep the pitch.
  • Join clips into one file, in the order you pick.
  • Every tool takes mp4, mov and other video files for their sound.
  • Enhance shows how loud each file is now.
  • A Windows look, next to macOS and GNOME.
  • Three licenses for work, Basic, Plus and Max.

Every change is in the 2.0.0 release notes.

1.1.1, a new name

Ampliflare Audio is now Gleam Audio. The tools are the same, with a new home at gleamaudio.com.

New

  • The app is now called Gleam Audio.
  • Your license key works in the new app.
  • On Linux, the app installs as gleam-audio.

How to move your license and settings over is in the 1.1.1 release notes.

1.1.0, play, stop and more formats

Play any file right in the list, watch a job’s progress and stop it when you want, and look back at everything you made in the new Activity log.

New

  • A play button and seek bar on every file.
  • Progress on each file, and Stop that ends a job right away.
  • An Activity log of everything you made, ready to play.
  • Many more audio formats to open and convert to.

Every change is in the 1.1.0 release notes.

1.0, ready for real work

Gleam Audio 1.0 is out for macOS, Windows and Linux. It is free for personal use, and a license, at a price you pick, adds commercial use. Personal and commercial use has the details.

New

  • Choose where results go and how they are named, at the bottom of the window.
  • Splitting is easier. The picture shows each part, Split here sits on the playhead, and you can play one part, join two, or split evenly.
  • Pick a macOS or GNOME look, light, dim or dark colours, and an accent.
  • A Help menu links to these docs, and the app has a new icon.

Fixed

  • Windows now finds ffmpeg once it is installed.
  • The title bar follows the colours you pick.
  • Downloads and updates come from a faster, public server.

Every change, with the details behind it, is in the 1.0.0 release notes.

0.1, the first beta

The first beta is out for macOS, Windows and Linux. Drop in your recordings, pick a tool, and get clean files back. Nothing is uploaded: every step runs on your own computer. Getting started is the short tour.

In the box

  • Remove noise, for fans, hum, traffic and room noise under speech.
  • Enhance, which evens out loudness for podcasts, music, audiobooks or broadcast, and drops low rumble.
  • Cut and Split, with a picture of the sound to find the right spot.
  • Convert between mp3, wav, m4a, flac, ogg and opus.
  • Whole batches at once for every tool but Cut and Split.
