SimpleCasts

SimpleCasts is a podcast player built for people who care about their listening — not for advertisers, not for an algorithm trying to grow at your expense. Follow any podcast by RSS feed, build a queue that survives between devices, and just press play. Your progress, queue, archives, and library follow you between iPhone, iPad, web, and CarPlay. PODCASTS, WITH THE PEOPLE YOU TALK TO The best podcast recommendations come from people you trust — not a machine. SimpleCasts is built around them. • Recommend an episode straight to a friend, with a note on why it's worth their time • Build playlists together and share them with the people you listen alongside • Everything friends send you lands in one place — no feed, no noise, no strangers WHAT'S IN THE APP • Inbox — every new episode from podcasts you follow, in one place • Queue — drag to reorder, swipe to archive, autoplay the next • CarPlay — full Queue, Inbox, Podcasts, and Playlists tabs in the car • Chapters — view, jump, and seek inside episodes that support them • Smart playlists — rules-based lists that auto-add matching new episodes • Bookmarks — save a moment in an episode with a note, jump back later • Downloads — cache episodes for offline listening, Wi-Fi only if you prefer • Cross-device sync — progress, queue, and library stay current everywhere • Sleep timer, playback speed from 0.75× to 2.0×, customizable skip intervals • Push notifications when a podcast you follow releases a new episode WHAT'S NOT IN THE APP • No advertising — not in the player, not anywhere • No tracking, no analytics SDK, no fingerprinting • No algorithmic feed, no "trending," no engagement bait — what you hear about comes from friends, not a machine • No data sharing with third parties for marketing SimpleCasts is a hobby project, actively maintained by one person.
