The Podcast App.
Simple when you want it simple. Powerful when you want more. No clutter. No app ads. Nothing to figure out. A podcast app that just works.
LISTEN WITHOUT FRICTION
Built for the commute, the gym, the road trip, and the queue that never ends.
• Search, follow, and play. Your podcasts stay out of your music library.
• Download episodes for offline listening.
• Pick up right where you left off, every time.
• Speed from 0.5x to 2.0x, skip silence, chapters, and a sleep timer.
• Know the moment your shows post a new episode.
• Works with CarPlay.
• Bring your shows with you with OPML import and export.
GO DEEPER (PREMIUM)
For the shows worth more than a listen.
• Ask a question about an episode and jump straight to the part that answers it.
• Summaries, chapters, and transcripts that show who said what.
• Save the ideas that stuck with you and find them again later.
• Synthesis Radio: short briefings built from the themes you listen to most.
• Switch between audio and video on supported episodes.
NO SURPRISES
No promoted shows. Nothing shoved into your player — just your podcasts. The app does not insert banner ads or audio ads into its core player. Podcast publishers and video platforms may still include their own ads.
Start listening in seconds. No account needed. Sign in only if you want your library synced across devices.
Your transcripts and listening history stay yours. They are never handed off to train someone else's models.
Switch to a player built for podcasts. Import your OPML and press play.
