Pause a podcast to look up a word? Never again. Unpack is a podcast player that listens with you. When you hear a term you don't know, ask Siri or shake your head with AirPods on and get a definition that's right for the conversation. "UGC" in a marketing podcast means User Generated Content, not Uganda. Unpack already knows. HANDS-FREE, IN THE MOMENT • Say "Hey Siri, define that in Unpack." Works with the screen off, phone in your pocket. • Shake your head with AirPods Pro, Max, 3, or 4 to trigger a definition. Nod or shake to navigate. Hear the answer spoken back. • Built for driving, cooking, running, and the gym, when picking up your phone isn't an option. • Tap any word in the live transcript to define it instantly. DEFINITIONS THAT FIT THE CONVERSATION Generic dictionaries don't know what you're listening to. Unpack reads the transcript around the moment you ask, so the definition matches the topic: economics, biology, marketing, history, whatever the show is about. Same definition quality for free and Premium users. The AI is not a paywall. MORE THAN SUMMARIES AND HIGHLIGHTS Other AI podcast apps summarize an episode or save the good parts for later. Unpack works on the part you didn't understand, while the episode is still playing. Definitions are generated on your device first using Apple's on-device model, so most lookups never leave your phone, and they work without a signal. LEARN, DON'T JUST LOOK UP • Every term you define joins your personal glossary, sorted by subject. • Unpack quizzes you on terms days later, so they actually stick. • See how many terms you've learned and which subjects you're strongest in. • Premium adds comprehension quizzes during playback, checking what you understood and not just what you heard. • Premium highlights unfamiliar terms in the transcript before you even ask, based on what you've looked up before. A REAL PODCAST PLAYER • Subscribe via RSS or import your shows from Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or Castro with one OPML file. • Speed control, skip, sleep timer, lock screen and Now Playing controls. • Download episodes for offline listening. • Live Activity and Dynamic Island while you play. PRIVACY-FIRST Your podcasts, your glossary, and your listening history stay on your device. We never see them. Definitions run on-device first. When one needs the cloud, it goes through our proxy with no identity attached, and Settings has a switch to turn that off entirely. Read the full policy in-app. PREMIUM ($4.99/mo, $24.99/yr, or $79.99 lifetime) • Unlimited definitions • Unlimited review quiz sessions • AirPods head gesture trigger • Comprehension quizzes during playback • Proactive highlighting of unfamiliar terms in the transcript Free users get the full podcast player, AI-powered context-aware definitions, Siri triggers, 10 lookups per day, your personal glossary with vocabulary stats, and one review quiz a day.
