Your week in podcasts, in one email — from an app that does the tracking for you. PodcastIntel sends you a weekly (or daily) digest of every new episode from the shows you follow, a 3-bullet AI summary of each one, and every appearance by the guests you follow — wherever they turn up. In the app, follow guests, subscribe to shows, read the summaries, save episodes, and get a push the moment someone you follow appears. Other podcast apps follow shows. PodcastIntel follows people. When Tim Ferriss interviews a new author, you'll hear when that author appears on Lex Fridman, Huberman Lab, SmartLess, and a dozen other shows over the next month. No signup needed to start. Open the app, browse, subscribe, follow — instantly. KEY FEATURES • Weekly, daily, or monthly email digest: new episodes, AI summaries, guest appearances • Follow any podcast guest and get notified across every show they appear on • AI-generated episode summaries so you can decide what's worth listening to • Subscribe to podcasts and get alerts for new episodes • Discover trending shows and featured guests • Search across thousands of podcasts and episodes • Push notifications for new episodes and guest appearances • Open the app and start using it — no account required • Universal Links — tap a shared episode and land directly in the app • Sign in with Apple, Google, or email when you want to sync across devices • Dark mode WHY YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE IT Most "follow your favorite podcast" features ask you to remember which shows you like. PodcastIntel asks who you want to hear from — then watches the entire podcast world for them and tells you by email. You don't have to subscribe to fifteen shows just to catch one guest, and you don't have to open an app to find out. Whether you follow journalists, scientists, founders, comedians, or your favorite chef, PodcastIntel pings you the moment they show up somewhere new. START FREE, UPGRADE WHEN READY Free tier: 5 podcast subscriptions, 3 guest follows. No credit card. No time limit. Pro: $4.99 one-time. Unlimited podcasts, unlimited guests, every future update included. No subscription. No recurring charges. Pay once, own it. PRIVACY You can use PodcastIntel without ever giving us your email or name. Until you sign in, you're an anonymous account: your subscriptions and follows are saved, but no email or name is attached. Sign in only when you want to sync across devices or get the email digest. LISTEN ANYWHERE PodcastIntel works as a tracker, not a player. Once you find an episode you want to hear, tap to open it in your favorite player — Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or anywhere the show is hosted. We're the discovery layer; you keep your listening setup. Stop missing the interviews you'd actually want to hear.
