You know those updates that say, “Bug fixes and performance improvements”? Yeah… this isn’t one of those. CastKeeper has been rebuilt from the ground up with a beautiful new interface, smoother navigation, richer visuals, and countless improvements throughout the app. It’s faster, cleaner, and designed to make archiving and listening to your favorite podcasts even better. Why? Because podcasts disappear. Yours don’t have to. The private sync engine has been rebuilt from scratch, making it faster and more reliable to keep your library in sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac—all while keeping your data private. Because your podcast app shouldn’t know more about you than your best friend does. Also new in this release… • Archive public podcast episodes directly to external storage. Plug in a USB drive or other supported storage, pick it in Settings, and start building your forever library. • New Tracking Prevention helps reduce podcast analytics and tracking requests during playback. Listen to your podcasts—not someone else’s analytics dashboard. Tell these trackers the “P” in IP doesn’t stand for public and opt-out of tracking. • Expanded Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) detection means smarter, cleaner AI summaries. • New Discovery themes make it even easier to find your next favorite show. • Smaller app. Smaller archives. More room for podcasts. No regrets. • Fixed Home Screen widget playback issues, improved performance, increased reliability, and generally taught CastKeeper a few new tricks. Thanks for all of your feedback, feature requests, and bug reports. They genuinely help shape every release. Your podcasts. Yours forever. CastKeeper.
