Built for real workflows
From Tokyo commuters to Mumbai podcasters to Central American newsrooms.
"I record interviews at the local market, remove the noise with one tap, cut the best parts, and share the episode — all from my phone. No PC needed."
"I receive 15-minute audio news on Telegram every morning. KIKU Player summarizes it with AI so I can share the key points to my WhatsApp team in 30 seconds."
"My sources' voices are anonymized before the audio leaves my device. Everything works offline — no data sent anywhere."
"I cut 1-minute clips from interviews and share them directly to WhatsApp Status. Full episodes get AI summaries for Twitter."
Names, portraits, and quotes are fictional, created to illustrate real-world use cases. Images generated with AI.
Why KIKU?
Privacy-first
No user accounts. No tracking. Studio's noise reduction and voice anonymization run entirely on-device. AI features in both apps use your own API keys (BYOK) — we never see your data.
Android-native
Built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Material Design 3 with Warm Amber theme. Not a cross-platform port — genuine Android quality.
Made for the world
Designed for podcast listeners and creators from Jakarta to Mumbai to Accra — where Android is the default and mobile is the primary device.
Free to start
Both apps are free to download with core features included. Optional one-time premium upgrade removes ads and unlocks advanced features. No subscriptions.
