Automatic Smart Skip analysis for downloaded Episodes, with improved continuation while listening. Smart Skip resumes analysis more precisely after load and shows the analyzed percentage in the Player menu.

New in Kikudana 1.9: - CarPlay follows your selected podcast and episode filters and ordering. Smart-Skip stays available as its state changes, alongside labeled playback controls. - Your saved position is kept when you pause or reopen the app. Press Play to continue from there. Audiobookshelf position is checked more reliably when playback starts; “Get position from server” explicitly uses the server position. - Queue badges now show membership consistently across episode lists.

New in Kikudana 1.8: - Smart-Skip now calculates the displayed effective speed from confirmed skipped silence. This fixes implausible speed spikes while you listen and rolling analysis updates.

New in Kikudana 1.7: - Smart-Skip analyzes downloaded episodes while you listen. Choose a rolling window or continue through the episode; completed sections remain available after a pause. - Shared podcasts now have a separate Audiobookshelf setup page for the library and server download choices. - Library updates reuse unchanged data, and Background Tasks shows their progress more clearly. Each new transcription displays its own progress.

New in Kikudana 1.6: - Add a shared podcast to this device or to Audiobookshelf. If you choose the server, select its library and whether to download new episodes, older episodes, or both. - Keep downloaded episodes for 30, 90, or 180 days after listening. - See how transcripts and summaries are progressing in Background Tasks. If part of a summary fails, try again without losing the finished parts. - Playback and the Current Queue are more reliable. Played and unplayed marks sync more reliably between devices using the same Audiobookshelf account.

Kikudana 1.5 makes interrupted listening, migrations, and background work more dependable. - Playback stays paused when Bluetooth, headphones, car audio, or USB audio disconnects. - Deferred transcription resumes automatically when you return to Kikudana. - Direct Feed migration now identifies the affected podcast and waiting step, safely resumes interrupted work, and allows a fresh attempt after a completed or cancelled migration. - Resuming a migration avoids duplicate podcast or download requests. If its local recovery data cannot be read, you can discard it on this device only—never server podcast content.

Kikudana 1.4 refines listening and adds a safer way to move a Direct Feed into Audiobookshelf. - Audiobookshelf administrators can migrate a Direct Feed with a guided workflow that can be paused and resumed. Choose started or finished episodes or all current episodes, preserve verified listening positions and Smart List membership, and let Audiobookshelf download directly from the feed—Kikudana never uploads existing audio files. - When chapter or episode artwork is available, switch between it and the podcast cover in the Player. The app’s cover-based accent colors follow the artwork you choose. - Podcast browsing is cleaner when you have no Direct Feeds, and long migrations remain visible in Background Tasks. - This update also improves progress sync, library and Smart List refreshes, artwork loading, Player reliability, and performance.

Kikudana 1.3 gives you more ways to enjoy your podcasts. - Meet Direct Feeds: subscribe to podcasts without an Audiobookshelf account, or enjoy them alongside your server library. - Add feeds, import OPML subscriptions, and share podcast websites or Apple Podcasts links to Kikudana, with a preview before you subscribe. - Find both sources together in your library, search, and Current Queue, as well as Smart Lists with Pro. - New with Pro: Clear Voices makes speech easier to understand and gently evens out volume changes. Choose Natural, Balanced, or Strong globally, per podcast, or temporarily for an episode. - Pro downloads now resume more reliably in the background, including Direct Feed episodes queued for offline listening. - Follow transcripts more smoothly, see clearer summary progress, and enjoy improved episode and chapter artwork. - This update also improves Audiobookshelf listening progress and listening-time sync, iCloud recovery, and library stability.

- More reliable listening progress and listened-time sync, including background and offline playback. - Transcripts and summaries now use unified, reliable background processing with consistent progress. - Queue downloads are protected from automatic cleanup until removed from the queue. - Improved Player transitions and AirPlay status. - Added recovery options for local storage problems. - Improved text encoding for newly generated transcripts and summaries.
