Podscript – Podcast/YouTube Transcription CLI

Outputs ready-to-use Markdown with speaker diarization and timestamps, accepts Apple Podcasts/YouTube/RSS links, and can run fully locally or use ElevenLabs for higher-quality diarization. Not groundbreaking — speech-to-text pipelines already exist — but the one-command UX, RSS browsing/search flags, and explicit local-mode make it genuinely useful for folks who want tidy transcripts without wiring together multiple tools.
