Gleam Audio removes background noise, evens out your volume, and cuts, splits and converts your recordings, all in one simple app. It's made for podcasts, voiceovers, audiobooks and videos, and runs on Mac, Windows and Linux.
Free for personal use, with every feature, up to 20 files a week. For client work, a paid podcast or a monetised channel, get a license and use it with no limit. Pick your own price, from $5.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Save as mp3, wav, m4a, flac, ogg or opus, at the quality you choose, ready for any platform or editor.
Drop in every file from a recording day and clean them all in one go.
Results are saved next to your originals or in a folder you pick, with names
you choose, like interview-clean.wav.
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.
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.
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
