## What is Earchelon?

Earchelon is a podcast player built around one simple idea: the shows that matter most to you should play first.

Create smart playlists that automatically gather unplayed episodes based on podcast, category, episode age, and other rules. Arrange shows in the order you want, and Earchelon keeps your listening queue organized as new episodes arrive.

FEATURES

• Build smart playlists for different moods, interests, or routines
• Rank podcasts separately within each playlist
• Automatically prioritize newly released episodes
• Search for podcasts and discover new recommendations
• Adjust playback speed and skip forward or backward
• Use a sleep timer, bookmarks, show notes, and episode controls
• Select multiple episodes to mark as played or remove
• Continue listening from widgets, the Lock Screen, and CarPlay
• Receive notifications when new episodes become available
• Back up and restore your podcast library

Whether you follow a few favorite shows or an overflowing collection, Earchelon helps you spend less time managing podcasts and more time listening.
