More than a player: automatic loudness leveling, Smart Speed to trim pauses, a smart inbox, listening stats and prioritized playlists – with no account.
VanityCast is the podcast app for people who don't just listen, but listen deliberately. A dedicated audio engine, serious organization and full privacy – all without an account.
BETTER SOUND (DEDICATED AUDIO ENGINE)
• Automatic loudness leveling: quiet and loud episodes play at an even volume – with a limiter to prevent clipping.
• Smart Speed: detects silence and shortens pauses dynamically – and shows you how much time you save.
• Fine-tune volume per podcast in decibels (−12 to +12 dB).
ORGANIZATION OVER CHAOS
• Smart Inbox: all your unplayed episodes with filters (unplayed, in progress, today, this week), sorting & swipe actions.
• Prioritized playlists: grouped, or as a ranked round-robin across multiple podcasts.
• Smart Queue (Up Next): filled manually or automatically – by newest, shortest, random episodes and more.
• Favorites, archive and automatic downloads per podcast.
YOUR LISTENING STATS
• Listening time by day, month, year and per podcast – plus a shareable summary.
FIND & SUBSCRIBE
• Apple Podcasts search and charts for discovery.
• Add any RSS feed directly by URL.
• OPML import and export – bring your subscriptions with you.
LISTEN YOUR WAY
• A comfortable player with variable speed, sleep timer, ±15/30 second skip, AirPlay and lock-screen controls.
• Downloads for on the go – including Wi-Fi only, storage limit and automatic cleanup of played episodes.
• Local notifications for new episodes.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• No account, no sign-up, no tracking.
• Everything runs locally on your device.
DESIGN
• A clean, dark interface focused on the content.
VanityCast – podcasts, organized.
