Current vs Earshot Podcasts

Current is an RSS reader built on a simple idea: your feed should never make you feel behind. There are no unread counts. No red badges. No number climbing while you sleep, silently tallying everything you haven't read. Current shows you what's new right now, and that's it. Nothing is owed. Nothing is overdue. You open it when you want to read, and whatever's there is what's there. The design is intentional. Every screen, every interaction, every animation was built to feel calm and unhurried. Articles are presented beautifully with clean typography and generous whitespace. Navigation is fluid and intuitive. The app gets out of the way and lets you focus on what matters: the writing. Current supports multiple sync providers so you can bring your existing subscriptions: - Feedbin - Inoreader - MiniFlux - FreshRSS - The Old Reader - NewsBlur - Local RSS (on-device, no account needed) Features: - Universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Beautiful article reader with smart formatting - Full-text article extraction - Light and dark themes - Background refresh - OPML import and export - Share extension - Keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac - iCloud sync for local feeds Current is a one-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Just an app you buy once and own forever. Built by an indie developer who wanted to love RSS again.

Earshot is a podcast player built accessibility-first. Every screen, button, and gesture works fully with VoiceOver, so blind and low-vision listeners get the same fast, complete experience as everyone else. Listen your way: - Follow any podcast by search, RSS feed URL, or OPML import - Keep your library, folders, queue, playback position, bookmarks, listening history, and shared settings synchronized through your private iCloud account - A Smart Inbox that gathers new episodes from the shows you choose - Queue with reordering, folder or podcast grouping, and auto-advance - Per-podcast playback speed that remembers your preference - Chapters, sleep timer, bookmarks, transcripts, and listening statistics - Automatic downloads for queued episodes and optional cleanup after listening - Adjustable skip-forward and skip-back intervals Organize a big library: - Nested folders for podcasts and individual episodes - Folder views for new episodes, downloads, queues, and listening statistics - Multi-select and batch actions - Import and export subscriptions and folder structure with OPML - Fast, responsive handling of large podcast collections Built for VoiceOver from day one: - Configurable Quick Actions in the VoiceOver Actions rotor - Clear, consistent labels on every control - Full Dynamic Type support and respect for system settings - Quiet, accessible iCloud and refresh status Earshot is free for up to 10 podcast subscriptions. Earshot Plus removes the cap for unlimited subscriptions: $2.99/month, $19.99/year, or $49.99 once for lifetime access. An optional in-app tip jar is available if you would like to support development. No ads or third-party trackers, ever. Your synchronized library is stored in your private iCloud database. Payown Media cannot access it. Downloads and purchase access remain on each device. Earshot was built with AI coding assistance. I am a blind developer who directed AI agents to help create the accessible podcast app I wanted to exist, then tested every build by hand with VoiceOver. Feedback from blind and low-vision beta testers shaped the app throughout development.
