About

Tripod is a brand new podcast app designed to make it easy to stay up to date with your favourite shows. It’s built around an inbox for new episodes and queues for what you’re listening to. Audio & Playback Tripod has integrated EQ settings, can trim silence, and balance audio levels across episodes, for the smoothest listening experience. You can skip chapters or use the transcript to jump to a specific line. It also has an innovative playback scrubber that snaps to the starts of chapters, glides over skipped chapters, and uses haptic feedback for extra precision. Inbox The inbox is where new episodes arrive and you can decide whether to keep or ignore episodes. For the shows where you listen to every episode, you can send them straight to the queue. Queues Instead of playlists you have to manually manage, Tripod has automatic queues. There’s a main queue, favourites, shorts, in-progress, and each genre gets its own queue. There’s also a special queue called Someday, which lets you keep episodes that you know you want to listen to, but you don’t need to be reminded of every time you open the app. It’s ideal for podcasts discussing books or movies that you haven’t seen yet. Innovative Controls Building on decade of experience with Obscura, my award-winning camera app, Tripod uses haptics and gestures to create delightful interactions throughout the app. Intelligence On supported devices, Tripod will use Apple Intelligence to transcribe episodes, generate chapters, and determine hosts and guests for the shows you listen to, and even recommended other shows that they’ve guested on. Appearance Every view and control in Tripod is designed to adapt its appearance to what you’re listening to, making the app feel personal and vibrant. You can also choose a tint color or make the whole app monochrome if you prefer. There’s also a few app icon choices to best fit your Home Screen. Apple Watch Tripod has an Apple Watch companion app that lets you control what you listen to, skip chapters and change audio settings. Handy, or should I say… wristy? CarPlay Tripod also has a CarPlay app so you can drive safe while listening to what moves you. Well the car moves you. But art can also move you. Are podcasts not art? Who is to say. Shortcuts & Intents For the automation sickos, Tripod has actions for controlling playback and audio settings, getting and editing the contents of your queues and inbox, and more. Widgets Yeah. It’s got widgets too. Yeah, for your Home Screen! Spotlight Integration Quickly find your shows from anywhere on your device. Sleep Timers Time based or end of chapter or end of episode. And so much more. ———— Privacy Policy: http://benricemccarthy.com/tripod/privacy Terms of use: http://benricemccarthy.com/tripod/terms
