Backpack has quietly powered thousands of mobile recordings for years. Now it's time for the next chapter.
Everything still works exactly the same: record, stop, share.
But now you have powerful new tools when you want them.
Edit your recordings by simply telling Backpack what to change. Say something like "remove the part about the weather" or "move the intro to the end" and your audio is re-edited in seconds. No need to export your recording to a desktop DAW or upload it to a web-based editor — everything happens right on your phone.
You can also tap directly on the transcript and edit it like a text document. Delete a sentence, rearrange a paragraph, fix a word — your audio updates automatically to match. No waveform scrubbing, no timeline dragging. Just words. The kind of editing that used to require a laptop and dedicated software now takes seconds from your pocket.
Generate a full transcript of any recording with one tap. Backpack uses AI to convert your audio into accurate, readable text — great for show notes, accessibility, or just reviewing what you said. Instead of paying for a transcription service or uploading files to a website and waiting, your transcript is generated right on your device, ready the moment you need it.
Automatically generate polished show notes and chapter markers from your episode. No more listening back and writing summaries by hand — Backpack analyzes your recording and creates structured notes and timed chapters for you. What typically requires a separate writing session at your computer now happens instantly, right after you finish recording.
Let Backpack find the best moments in your episode automatically. It identifies the most interesting, shareable, or impactful segments so you can quickly pull out clips without scrubbing through the whole recording. Skip the tedious process of re-listening to your entire episode on a computer to find the good parts — Backpack surfaces them for you right away.
Turn your highlights or any segment into shareable video reels and audio clips. Perfect for social media — create short, polished content from your episodes in just a few taps, ready to post anywhere. No need to open a video editor on your laptop or use a web-based clipping tool. Go from full episode to finished social content without ever leaving Backpack.
Generate custom artwork for each episode instantly using nanobanana, Backpack's built-in image generator. Just describe what you want and get unique, eye-catching cover art without leaving the app or opening a design tool. No more switching between Canva or Photoshop on your desktop — your episode art is created on the spot, right alongside your recording.
Create custom sound effects, bumpers, and jingles right from your soundboard. Tap an empty sound pad, hit generate, and describe the sound you need. Backpack creates it for you — perfect for intros, transitions, or adding personality to your show. Instead of browsing royalty-free sound sites on your computer and downloading files, you get exactly the sound you imagined, made to order, right on your phone.
Record remote guests and co-hosts from anywhere, entirely within Backpack Studio. Invite someone into a room and Backpack records both sides in studio quality. No third-party apps, no browser-based recording platforms, no complicated setup — just tap and record together. Services like Riverside or SquadCast require a computer and a web browser. Backpack puts the same capability in your pocket with a single tap to start.
Start a live broadcast with a single tap. Backpack generates a shareable link that anyone can listen to — no app required on their end. Stream your show to the world in real time, straight from your phone. No streaming software to configure, no OBS, no web dashboard — just hit go and you're live.
A new built-in survey system in settings makes it easy to share your thoughts directly with the developer. Your feedback shapes what gets built next.
Everything still works the same — you just have more tools when you want them.
