## What is Lou?

Lou is a simple podcast player. It finds the ad breaks in your shows and skips them while you listen.

Follow the shows you love and every new episode lands in one place. Lou can scan them in the background, so auto-skip is ready before you press play.

Also in Lou:
- Your whole library in one place: follow shows, search by name, or browse the charts
- Discover, with recommendations based on the shows you follow and play
- Downloads for offline listening, with automatic cleanup once you've finished an episode
- A play-next queue you can reorder, plus autoplay for whatever comes next
- Episode notes, playback speed, and skip intervals you can set yourself
- AirPlay and CarPlay
- Light, dark, and system themes
- VoiceOver support across playback, transport controls, and episode lists

A quiet podcast app. Press play, and go.
