Private Audio
That Just
Plays
A personal link, web playback, and email when there’s something new. No downloads, no portals, no chasing files.
A personal link, web playback, and email when there’s something new. No downloads, no portals, no chasing files.
Most creators are still stitching together tools that weren’t built for paid or private audio.
CDs, USB sticks, zip files, expiring download links, Dropbox folders. People want to listen, not manage a file system.
If they have to find their password to hear you, they simply won’t.
People already want the audio — they just get it through clunky links, portals, and files.
One seminar, one course, one audio product — each becomes a private feed your buyers can play in normal podcast apps or in the browser.
Upload your audio, set the price, mark the feed private. Fifteen minutes.
Each successful purchase gets a personal listening link.
They click the link and it plays in the web player immediately. Podcast app option for those who want it.
Each purchase is a person. If someone loses their link, you resend it with one click.
What PodVault doesn’t do is the point.
Upload, price, share. That’s the seller flow. The dashboard exists; you just don’t have to camp out in it.
Click the link, listen. Web player works on every phone. (OK fine — you can also listen in apps if you like. Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, etc.)
That’s other platforms. PodVault delivers audio. That’s it.
No comments, no forums, no noise to manage.
Help students listen on the go instead of logging back into a portal. Each course becomes a private feed they can finish on their commute.

They get a personal link. They click it and the audio plays in the browser — no app to install, no portal to log into. New episodes ping them by email. If they want it in Apple Podcasts, that’s an option too.
No. PodVault works for free, email-gated, and paid audio. Connect Stripe and charge for it, collect emails to track listeners, or just share the link openly. Your choice.
Member portals make buyers log in every time they want to listen. PodVault sends them a personal link they tap once. Nobody opens a portal on their commute — PodVault lives in their pocket.
Each buyer gets a unique URL — like a private Dropbox link. Only people with their personal link can listen, and you can revoke access at any time. It’s the same trust model as link-based file sharing: not bank-grade DRM, but right-sized for paid teaching, member-only content, and other audio you want to control.
Yes. Each feed in PodVault has one of three access modes. Public: anyone with the link can subscribe — list it in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and the rest. Private (Free): listeners enter their email and get a personal access link, so you can see who’s listening and remove access if you need to. Private (Paid): listeners pay through Stripe before getting access. A podcaster might run a free public show AND deliver bonus episodes to paying members, both in one account.
It depends on the feed mode. For Private (Free or Paid) feeds, every listener has their own personal link, so you see who’s listening, when, and how often — per-person engagement, not just aggregate downloads. For Public feeds, you see downloads, geography, and which podcast apps people use — Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and most others. Two caveats: Spotify and YouTube Music don’t share listener data through RSS, so plays through those apps don’t show up in PodVault. You’d check their own creator dashboards for those numbers.
Upload, price, share. Your first feed takes about 15 minutes.
