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.
