Every pause costs you viewers

YouTube and podcast platforms are ruthless: a draggy recording and retention drops, so the algorithm stops recommending you.

  • People leave at the first dead spot. Five seconds of silence and the thumb is already swiping.
  • Manual editing eats your evenings. An hour of recording means 2–3 hours hunting for pauses on a timeline.
  • A pro editor is overkill. Learning Premiere just to trim silence? Really?
  • Online tools see your files. Drafts, private calls and courses get uploaded to someone else's servers.
The simple math
Videos per week2
Manual pause cleanup per video~1.5 h
With PauseSweep~3 min
Saved per month≈ 12 hours

12 hours is four more videos. Or just your evenings back.

// FAQ

Frequently asked

Which video and audio formats are supported?

Video: mp4, mov, m4v (H.264, HEVC, ProRes). Audio: mp3, m4a, wav, aac, aiff, caf. Recording in OBS? Set its output to mp4 — mkv isn't supported yet. Fast mode keeps the source quality without re-encoding.

Are my files uploaded to the cloud?

No. PauseSweep is a native macOS app that works fully offline. Your recordings are processed locally and never leave your computer. That's the point.

What if it cuts something I needed?

It never cuts silently: before saving, every pause is highlighted on the waveform and you can preview the result with pauses skipped. Plus four sensitivity modes — from gentle, which only touches obvious silence, to manual, where you control every cut. The original file is always left untouched.

Is it a subscription?

No. One payment and the app is yours forever, including future 1.x updates. We're against renting software.

Can I process several files at once?

Yes — drop several files or a whole folder and PauseSweep processes them all in a batch with the same settings. Great for courses, podcast archives and lecture series.

Which Macs does PauseSweep run on?

macOS 13 Ventura or newer, on both Apple Silicon (M1–M4) and Intel. On Apple Silicon, analyzing an hour-long recording takes just seconds.

Your next video could be a third shorter. Today
