## What is Matterhorn Podcast App?

Privacy First: No cloud, no registration, no unexpected traffic. Everything is stored on your device only. We do not store any of your personal data.

An app that does not lock you in: Importing is easy. Just drop a text file with all your feeds and you are ready to go. Or export all your feeds at once by clicking a single button.

Yours forever: No subscription, no fees, no in-app purchases. Buy once and keep this app forever without Ads and including all upcoming functionalities and updates.

Pure iOS Design: Matterhorn offers a modern but simple design. Built natively for iOS, it looks and feels just like you know it from your favorite iOS-Apps.

Made for digital well-being: Bad news everywhere, and even your favorite podcast is now talking about it? Mute specific keywords, and episodes on those topics will be hidden — without having to unfollow the podcast.

Distraction free and non-addictive: No suggested podcasts, no social media functions and - of course - not a single ad.
