+12 stars in the last 30 days

Audapolis has a focused use case and cross-platform desktop downloads, but its recent development activity is quiet, so teams should check that its current capabilities meet their needs.

Good fit if

  • You edit spoken-word audio or video and want a text-oriented workflow.
  • You want a desktop tool for Windows, Linux or macOS that the project describes as having no cloud dependency.
  • AGPL-3.0 is compatible with your intended use and distribution.

Look elsewhere if

  • Your workflow depends on recent feature development: the project reports no commits in the last 90 days.
  • You need a project with a recent record of merged contributions or issue resolution; the measured period shows no merged pull requests and little issue closure.
  • You need evidence of automated tests before adopting a tool; the repository requirements data reports no tests.

Overview

Audapolis is a desktop editor for spoken-word media, designed to make editing audio and video easier by giving it a word-processor-like workflow with automatic transcription. It is aimed at people working with dialogue-heavy material, such as podcasts, interviews and audiobooks, who want to edit media through its text.

The project supports audio, video and mixed editing, and is available for Windows, Linux and macOS. Its README says it keeps data in the user's hands with no cloud service.

Key Features

  • Automatically transcribes audio into text.
  • Provides a word-processor-like approach to media editing.
  • Supports audio-only, video-only and mixed editing.
  • Targets spoken-word material, including podcasts, radio shows, audiobooks and interviews.
  • Offers downloadable versions for Windows, Linux and macOS.
  • Keeps data local rather than relying on a cloud service, according to the project README.

Use Cases

  • Podcast editors can work through spoken content as text while editing the associated media.
  • Radio producers can use it for dialogue-heavy shows and interview segments.
  • Audiobook creators can apply a text-oriented workflow to spoken recordings.
  • Video editors working with interviews or other speech-led footage can use transcription to navigate their material.

Getting Started

Download the latest version for Windows, Linux or macOS from the GitHub releases page. See the README for project details, and report bugs through the issue tracker.

Considerations

The project is marked quiet: it has had no commits in the last 90 days, though it has had a release within the past year. Six contributors are recorded, and contribution is not flagged as concentrated in one person. Recent measured activity includes no merged pull requests and only one closed issue, so users with urgent maintenance needs should assess the repository's current responsiveness. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0, whose obligations should be reviewed before incorporating or distributing it. The supplied requirements data reports CI but no tests; it does not specify runtime or hardware requirements.
