Snipd is built for people who listen to learn. When you hear an idea worth keeping, you tap your headphones and the app saves a snip with an AI transcript and summary, then sends a personal summary email of your takeaways. Every processed episode gets a transcript with speaker labels, AI chapters, a summary, mentioned books and guest profiles, and you can search inside transcripts or chat with an episode. Snips export to Readwise, Notion, Obsidian and Glasp, and a daily recap uses spaced repetition so ideas stick. The free plan already includes unlimited listening, CarPlay, Android Auto and Apple Watch support, but AI features are capped at 2 episodes a week. Premium removes that limit for more than a million processed episodes and adds 900 minutes a month of processing for other shows, audio files and YouTube videos, starting at $6.99 a month on the annual plan with a one-week trial. For pure entertainment listening it is more than you need.
