## What is BenchCast?

Turn any room into a podcast studio. BenchCast records everyone on their own iPhone at full quality, then mixes it into one polished, ready-to-share episode — no mics, no mixers, no
  cables, and no internet required.

  Each guest joins the session from their own phone and records their own crystal-clear local track. When you finish, BenchCast automatically gathers every track to the host, lines them
  up, and blends them into a single stereo podcast. It's the pro "double-ender" workflow — made effortless.

  HOW IT WORKS
  • The host taps Start and names the session
  • Friends tap Join — phones find each other nearby over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • Everyone records locally, in full quality, at the same time
  • Tracks are collected, aligned, and mixed into one finished episode
  • Export and share straight from your library

  FEATURES
  • Multitrack recording — every voice on its own track
  • Local-first capture — full quality on each device, immune to network dropouts
  • Nearby connect — no accounts, no internet, no setup
  • Host controls — start, stop, and pause recording for everyone at once
  • Automatic sync — a sync tone aligns all tracks to the exact moment
  • One-tap mixdown — a single, balanced stereo episode, ready to publish
  • Studio sound — echo cancellation plus a broadcast "radio voice" EQ and compression
  • Loud and clean — automatic level normalization
  • Recording library — play back, export, and manage past sessions
  • Beautiful dark interface with live, per-person level meters

  PERFECT FOR
  • Co-hosted and panel podcasts
  • In-person interviews and roundtables
  • Capturing conversations, meetings, and ideas on the fly

  PRIVATE BY DESIGN
  Your recordings stay on your devices. BenchCast works entirely over the local network — nothing is uploaded to the cloud and no account is required.

  Gather your co-hosts, hit record, and sound like a studio. Download BenchCast and start your first session in seconds.
