Waves Podcast Player

Waves is a podcast player built for people who actually listen. Browse top charts, search millions of shows, and follow the ones you care about — in a clean, dark interface that stays out of your way. LISTENING Stream anything instantly or save episodes for offline. Waves supports chapter markers so you can jump to any part of a long episode with one tap. Set a sleep timer, dial playback speed from 0.8x to 3x, and drop bookmarks with notes whenever something's worth keeping. WALKING MODE Start a walk, keep listening. Waves tracks your route on a live map, counts steps and distance using your phone's sensors, and saves a workout to Apple Health when you're done. Simple idea, genuinely useful. DISCOVERY The home screen shows top charts, category picks, and mood-based suggestions for Commute, Focus, Walking, and more. The more you listen, the better it gets. LOCK SCREEN & DYNAMIC ISLAND See what's playing without unlocking your phone. Control playback from your lock screen, headphones, or the Dynamic Island. PRIVACY No account required. No ads. No tracking. Waves runs entirely on Apple's public podcast feeds and RSS — your listening history lives on your device and nowhere else.
