Your shows, uninterrupted — Sophon detects & skips the ads for you, so no minutes go to waste. Sophon is a full-featured podcast player with one superpower: it finds the ads in your episodes and automatically skips them for you. Detection runs on your device with a small, tuned machine-learning model. Even dynamically inserted ads — the ones that are different for every listener — are handled with on-device identification. EVERYTHING A PODCAST APP SHOULD BE • Subscribe, stream, download, and queue — fast, native, modern iOS • Full transcripts for every scanned episode • Chapters, generated when a show doesn't publish them • Your place, your queue, your favorites, and your subscriptions follow you across devices • Import from your current app in one tap (OPML) THE AD-SKIPPING PART • Automatic ad detection on every episode you play • One-tap skip, or full auto-skip — your choice • Ad markers shown right on the timeline and reviewable at a glance, quickly review & adjust if we ever get one wrong • See how much time you've saved SUPPORT THE SHOWS YOU LOVE Every show page surfaces the creator's own support link, so you can back your favorites directly. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: unlimited scanning, ad-skipping on 5 episodes every month. Premium: unlimited ad-skipping — $9.99/month or $79.99/year, with a 1-week free trial.
