Remove silence and dead air
Drop a talking-head video, tutorial, podcast or old tape transfer. We find every pause longer than you choose and give you a cut list your editor imports as a timeline (EDL), or a tightened WAV. Cuts are padded so breaths and word endings survive. Nothing is uploaded.

Questions
How do I use the EDL?
Premiere Pro: File, Import, pick the .edl, and relink to your original file when asked. DaVinci Resolve: File, Import, Timeline, Pre-Conform EDL, with the source clip in the media pool. Avid: import through the List Tool.
Will it cut words off?
Each cut keeps a little of the pause on both sides (adjustable). Raise the minimum pause length if it cuts too tight for your pacing.
Can I get an edited MP4 directly?
Not yet. The EDL keeps your editor in control of the result; a direct MP4 render is on the list.
