Focus, not distraction
Tabs for queue, inbox, library, and discover—you choose what you work with, without hopping between modes.
For iOS
Listen to podcasts without losing focus.
My Podcasts brings queue, inbox, library, and discover into one calm surface— with offline episodes, optional iCloud sync, and on-device transcription.

Why My Podcasts
The app follows a clear listening flow: new in the inbox, planned in the queue, long-term in the library—instead of one overloaded list.
Data where it belongs
Transcription runs on device. iCloud sync is optional—without the cloud, subscriptions and queue stay on this iPhone.
Built for real listening
Chapters, show notes, sleep timer with optional volume fade-out, voice boost, and configurable controls—for long episodes and daily use.
My Podcasts vs. typical “all-in-one” apps
No competitor names—just an honest take on what this app emphasizes.
| Feature | My Podcasts | Many large podcast apps |
|---|---|---|
| Clear areas (queue / inbox / library) | Yes | Often mixed or buried in menus |
| On-device transcription (no server for your audio) | Yes | Often missing or cloud-tied |
| Optional iCloud sync (can be off) | Yes | Varies widely |
| Offline episodes, optional Wi‑Fi only | Yes | Usually yes, implementation differs |
| Scope (music, radio, social ecosystem) | Podcasts only | Often broader |
Features that matter
Everything here matches what the app does—without marketing hype.
Organization that fits how you listen
New episode in the inbox, order in the queue, staples in the library. Under Discover you search by term or paste a feed URL.
- RSS feeds and iTunes/search results to subscribe
- Clear lists with a focused podcast UI
- Background feed refresh when the app is active
Player with depth
Full episode info, chapter navigation, and show notes—so you can go deeper than play/pause.
- Jump chapters; long-press skip: chapters, fast-forward, or next episode (configurable)
- Sleep timer; optional gentle volume fade to a target level
- Playback speed and voice boost
Offline and on the go
Episodes can download; settings can restrict automatic downloads to Wi‑Fi.
- Downloads for the queue and individual episodes
- Less cellular use with Wi‑Fi–only option
Transcription and privacy
Transcription uses system speech recognition for downloaded episodes—processing stays on device (see in-app notice).
- Language: automatic, German (Germany), or English (US)
- No separate web account needed for core features
Appearance
Light, dark, or system—optionally dim podcast artwork in dark mode; for Sleep Focus, use the matching Focus filter in iOS.
