- AI Summaries Let the app automatically create summaries of podcast episodes. The app first transcribes the audio using WhisperKit and then creates a summary. You can choose from different models (tiny, base, small, medium) depending on the desired speed and quality. The language is automatically detected based on the podcast metadata, but you can also set it manually. Swipe right on an episode in the playlist to open the options. Summaries can be processed in the background while your phone is charging. You can copy and search through transcriptions. Failed summaries can be retried while keeping the transcription. In the summaries overview you can select multiple summaries and delete them all at once. - Podcast Rating Give your favorite podcasts a rating from 1 to 10. Open a podcast you are subscribed to and tap the stars to give a rating. In the playlist you can then sort by rating. Episodes from podcasts with the highest rating will be shown at the top. If multiple podcasts have the same rating, the episodes are sorted by date with the newest first. Manual Feed Subscriptions Add podcasts by directly entering an RSS or Atom feed URL. This is useful for podcasts that are not in the Apple Podcasts directory, such as private feeds or independent podcasts. - Auto-Remove Old Episodes Set episodes to be automatically removed from your playlist if they are older than a certain number of days. This keeps your playlist tidy without having to manually delete.

What's New in Version 1.2 This update is packed with powerful new features and significant improvements to make your listening experience smarter, more stable, and more personal. Major New Features - Speed-Sensitive Volume: A revolutionary feature for commuters and athletes! Sleepcast automatically adjusts playback volume based on your speed, whether you're cycling through the city or driving on the highway. Louder when you need it, quieter when you don't. Never miss a word again. - Full Control Over Downloads: You are now in complete command. Download or delete individual episodes with a simple swipe in the Binge mode queue. User-requested downloads are now preserved, regardless of whether they are in your active queue. - Sleep Timer Statistics: Curious about your listening and sleep habits? View detailed statistics on when your sleep timer ends, gets extended, and more. You'll find this in the Sleep Timer settings. - Discover by Category: The "Discover" section now features a category filter, making it easier than ever to find new and popular podcasts in the genres you love. Visual Waveform for Bookmarks: Editing and playing your bookmark audio fragments is now even more intuitive with a new visual waveform scrubber. Improvements & Refinements - Crystal-Clear Album Art: We now fetch the highest possible resolution for podcast covers, making your library look sharper than ever. Redesigned Settings: The settings screen has been completely reorganized with clear subcategories, making it a breeze to find the option you're looking for. - Automatic Queue Management: New options in settings allow you to automatically remove an episode from the queue or move it to the end after it has finished playing. Clearer Download Indicator: Episodes in your lists now display a distinct icon when they are stored locally, so you can see what's available offline at a glance. - Updated Tutorial: The introductory tutorial has been expanded to include the latest features and now remembers your language preference. Bug Fixes & Stability - More Robust Player: The logic for loading, pausing, and restoring the playback state has been completely rewritten. This resolves several issues where the player could lose its state, especially when switching between Binge and Playlist modes or when reopening the app. - More Reliable Bookmarks: A bookmark with an audio fragment can now only be created if the episode is downloaded locally. This prevents errors and ensures every fragment actually works. - More Stable Binge Mode: Binge mode now checks for an active internet connection before attempting to load a new series of episodes, preventing it from getting stuck. Improved "Now Playing" Integration: The app now communicates better with the iOS Lock Screen and Control Center, especially when paused in the background. - More Accurate Sleep Timer: Fixed an issue where the sleep timer could incorrectly mark an episode as "completed". - Tidy Cleanup: Removing a podcast subscription now correctly cleans up all associated bookmarks and their audio fragments.
