Bullet ā Share captioned video snippets of podcasts from any app
Podcasts are hard to share because they are hard to immediately consume. Bullet lets you share captioned video snippets of your favourite podcasts from any podcast app so that your friends can immediately consume it.

Aaaaye this is so 100% the formula š„³ Add Instagram Story exports (and integration) and I'd say you're far ahead enough of any competition to dominate the space. Is this in the works atm?

@alexanderspoor Haha so sorry. glitched out. Yea we're working on vertical video now! But you can definitely still share the horizontal on stories.
@benjalimm Haha, thank God. Thought I was being thick for a sec. And awesome, that's exciting! I'll be on the lookout :)
Absolutely love that users can create content from any platform! Such a great product to help drive engagement on podcasts š
@lachlankirkwood Thanks Lachlan. I hope you find the product as useful as we do!
Hey PH! Sharing podcasts is difficult because audio is hard for the recipient to immediately consume. Weāve built a simple way to share captioned video snippets of podcasts, so your friends can simply glaze over it to get to that āah-ha momentā. Bullet works on top of almost any podcast app on iOS, so you donāt have to switch podcast apps - simply share the link to Bullet from your podcast app of choice. We hope you find this tool useful!
F.A.Q
Will there be support for more than 15 seconds?
- We are about to launch support for up to 30s in the next day or two (Watch out for an update)
@benjalimm Great product idea! Do you have a list of podcast apps you currently support? Pocket Casts or Overcast does not work. :(
@jkspn Hey John. It should definitely work in Pocket Cast + Overcast. What podcast are you trying to snip?
@benjalimm I tried it just now, but it didn't work. It's Dialog (Federico Viticci and John Voorhees). Here's the link: https://pca.st/episode/feec9362-...
@jkspn Thank you so much for letting us know John. Sorry about this, the inference feature is new and is going to take a lot of work. Will get back to you ASAP
@zhao_li1 There are options for both, you could run your model as well. It technically could but we might not do that for a little while. Thanks!
I believe the Overcast app was the first to provide this (and the first to provide the basic design concept you're using), but it's great to see this catching on. It's great for podcasters!
Congrats on the app and getting to #1 on Product Hunt!
Tried this app today with a Stitcher podcast and it just hung. Never finished processing the clip. I was excited to use it, though! Ended up just sharing the link in a tweet: https://twitter.com/fosteronomo/...
@fosteronomo So sorry Dan! We're still trying to support Stitcher, we're on it!
Interesting. Was this inspired by Overcast?

Hey @alflee, perhaps partially with some elements of the UI? Since we're focused on the problem with the inability to skim podcasts, building a snippet tool without captions wouldn't really solve it at all.
@benjalimm super cool. Well executed and easy to use. I notice it worked with overcast but for some reason not with the apple podcast app. Any plans to allow different sizes for the videos (i.e. sharing for instagram etc).
@unmistakableceo Hey, thanks for letting us know. Apologies for the error! Would you be able to pass me the Apple podcast link? In regard to the different sizes - We are working on vertical video support right now!
As a heavy consumer of podcasts I have always wished for a better way to share key snippets...but the biggest challenge is actually that I am usually driving a car or lawn mower when I hear the bit I want to share. Some kind of voice trigger that would bookmark the clip and remind me when I'm at my laptop...or even let me share in the moment is what I most want.
Iāve been looking for something like this to create clips from mobile, but I canāt seem to get it to work. Really hoping whatever is causing the glitch will be fixed soon. Cheering for you guys!
@gabegodines Hey Gabe. What is the glitch and what is the podcast? Could you send it to me in a DM and we'll work on fixing it asap!
@a_ri Hey Ari. I'm so sorry for the errors. We're collecting extensive data to try to solve this. Would you be able to DM me the links you have tried that are failing? I would really appreciate that.
@benjalimm Hi, here is the link that we have tried - https://open.spotify.com/episode...
More than happy to screen record the crash.
On iphone xr (12.4.1)
Hi! This product seems wondrous. Are there plans to make it available for Android? Thanks.
Love this app and I highly recommend any podcast lover or host to use it.
Pros:-Simple intuitive steps -User Interface is clean -Accuracy is 100%, so far -IT IS FREE
Cons:-Ugh... nothing
Hi Benjamin, great app. Couple of suggestions (besides adding more time): 1. Possible to quick tap - to mark a starting point since youāre following along with your eyes, and itās easier to synch your preferred starting point this way? 2. Possible to re-emphasise the waveform height, so quick pauses/silences are easier to spot? 3. Possible to ācarry overā source track ID/URL say when sharing on Twitter, so the source can be quickly attributed? 4. Possible to stack bullets - from different parts of the podcast - so you can link 3 or 4 bullets together quickly. Thanks!
@benjaminlin @geoff_abbott let me know right here and we'll support it asap!
