## What is Mimir?

Mimir is the podcast player for people with too many shows. Organize your library into nested groups (folders), set priorities for the podcasts you care about most, and import an existing library via OPML or Apple Podcasts. Then keep listening with Continuous Playback — pull the next episode from a group, a podcast, or your whole library — with silence skip, voice boost, and CarPlay when you need them.

Stay Organized
• Nested groups that work like folders for your podcasts
• Collapse and expand groups to show only what you need
• Set higher priority for the shows you love
• Drag and drop, swipe actions, and long-press menus for fast library control

Continuous Playback
• An automatic playlist that always keeps the next episodes ready
• Choose the source: a group, a single podcast, or auto-generated lists
• Sort and filter options so Mimir queues what you actually want next
• Priority-aware ordering puts your favorites first

Advanced Audio Engine
• Custom audio engine built for podcasts
• Silence skip detects and removes silent segments
• Voice Boost enhances quiet speech
• High-quality playback at faster speeds
• Sleep timer and customizable skip intervals

### 1/5 — Lack of 26.6 functionality

*2026-06-22, version 1.8.4*

I am using an iPhone 16 Pro Max with the 26.6 Public Beta, and the app will not load. While I appreciate the update released today, 6/22/026, it doesn’t seem to have fixed the app loading issue.

### 1/5 — Lack of 26.6 functionality

*2026-06-18, version 1.8.3*

The app will not work with 26.6

### 4/5 — Latest update crashes.

*2026-05-22, version 1.8.2*

It just crashes at opening. Can’t use.

### 1/5 — A  paradoxical approach

*2026-05-20*

It is hard to understand why someone would upgrade from a version that works very well to one that works very poorly.

**Developer response:** Hi, I've updated the app to fix the rare crashes that might have been affecting you. Please let me know if the new version still has issues by emailing support@mimirpodcasts.app

### 4/5 — Für einen fünften Stern fehlen Features

*2026-05-11, version 1.7.0*

Soweit, so gut. Es funktioniert alles, wir gewünscht. Leider fehlen ein paar, für mich essentielle, Features. Kapitelmarken werden nicht angezeigt, In-/Outro überspringen fehlt leider auch und eine feinere Justierung der Abspielgeschwindigkeit in 0,25 Schritten ist ebenfalls wünschenswert. Wer auf die genannten Features verzichten kann, der kann hier glücklich werden. VoiceBoost, TrimSilence … alles vorhanden.

### 4/5 — This app ticks a lot of boxes

*2025-10-15*

It's very intuitive and clean to use. Nice drag and drop support on the MacOS version really helps manage the queuing and playlist management. It also handles downloading by cleanly putting the files into a folder you can access. This makes it easy to load up a flash drive for older cars that don’t have CarPlay. It works on MacBooks all the way back to MacOS 11 and on IOS as old as 15. I have a mix of new and old hardware and most other Podcast apps expect you to have nearly new hardware and most assume you are streaming everything.

### 5/5 — Got to admit it’s getting better all the time!

*2025-09-29*

I’ve been a pocket casts user for a decade now. I keep coming back to check on Mimir’s development. I can finally say that I’m now making the switch. 

What I love:
• Cross platform sync via iCloud. 
• The CarPlay interface is excellent.
• Podcast and episode management just feels right, unlike most apps out there.
• Silence skip actually works well. 
• Can mark a whole podcast or category as played. 

Dreams:
• Streaming episodes without downloading, especially on macOS.
• Mark episode as played from CarPlay now playing screen.

### 3/5 — why can’t I see an episode description but only the title?

*2025-09-20, version 1.9.0*

feature request

### 5/5 — Best way to organise podcasts

*2025-08-09, version 1.5.1*

I tried out loads of podcast apps, and this won easily in the nice grouping of podcasts. 
The silence skip and ability to have settings per podcast makes it even more powerful.
Use it a lot, and in the car with CarPlay too

### 5/5 — 5 stars, but…

*2025-03-22*

Definitely 5 stars for iPhone - which is the drive I use Mimir the most. Syncing content with other devices can be tricky. Still the best player I’ve used so far.
