HyperCatcher is a podcast player with AI research built in, and it all runs on your device.
HEY JAMIE
Hear something worth looking up? Ask Hey Jamie. HyperCatcher transcribes the last stretch of audio on your iPhone, works out what the hosts were talking about, and pulls up the page itself: the book on Apple Books, the video on YouTube, the song on Apple Music, the news article, the research paper or the official website. Nothing leaves your phone. Hey Jamie uses Apple Intelligence and needs iOS 26 on a supported device.
CHAPTERS, BROUGHT TO LIFE
Podcasts that publish chapters appear as a deck of cards in the player: titles, pictures, show notes and web links, right where you are listening. Expand any card to nearly full screen, then swipe down to return to the episode.
ACTIVITY FEED
Every Hey Jamie result, bookmark and note is saved to your activity feed, so you can come back to it after the episode ends.
TRANSCRIPTS
Open the transcript and read along as you listen, all transcribed on your device.

I’ve been using HyperCatcher as my regular podcast player for several months. Functionality is solid but sometimes the most recent podcasts don’t show up in the Episode Newest subscription list. You need to go to the Podcasts list, find the subscribed podcast then open it to find the latest version. Since HyperCatcher is the only iOS app that supports the podcast index (podcasting 2.0) that I know of, I can find shows that apple may suppress. I am supporting the developer with the premium subscription, but am not sure it does anything different than the free version (the app still asked me to “Upgrade to Premium” even though I’ve been paying the premium subscription for a few months. Finally, I’d like to use the newsletter feature but have not been able to figure out how to confirm a subscription sent to the email generated by HyperCatcher. I’d like to chat with the developer, David Norman, but have no idea how to contact him.
Direct download please

App has most of the podcasts I listen to. Easy to add with a few hiccups. I agree with the “clunky” review from someone else. Finding the podcast itself vs an episode is way too difficult. I don’t always finish the original podcast so trying to find the newest one shouldn’t be so hard. Searching through all the new episodes for podcasts I don’t want to listen to is a pain. An easy to find option for podcast then episode would be better. An option for direct download is a must for flyers.
Filled my phone’s storage

Used for several months and was happy for the most part. Did notice some problems that other apps tended to crash while this was playing in the background. But I wasn’t sure which apps were causing the problem. Finally decided to delete the app when I realized that it had filled my phone’s storage with 58 Gigs of data. Turns out it hadn’t been deleting old episodes even when I manually deleted them from the app. The only way to clear the old podcast from storage was to go into settings and manually delete them one at a time. Or delete the whole app. Good bye hypercatcher.
Almost perfect

Sadly I can’t use it without being able to download full episodes. I don’t understand how the backend works but I hope it’s possible in the future. Until then I’m stuck with Apples app.
