YourPods.Your podcasts. Your rules.
The pay-once podcast app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch & CarPlay.
$4.99 once. Every feature included. No ads, no tracking.
Syncs with your Nextcloud or any gPodder server — or no server at all.
Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch & CarPlay
☁️ Your sync, your choice
No feature gating. Ever.
The app is yours for one price. Sync however you like — our cloud, your server, or not at all. Pro is an optional service you can happily ignore.
$4.99, once.
Every feature is in the app the moment you buy it — Trim Silence, CarPlay, Apple Watch, AutoPilot, P3 privacy. No tiers, no unlocks, no ads. GPLv3 open source — build it yourself if you like.
Your server. Free forever.
Sync your library with your own Nextcloud gPodder Sync, NextPod, or RePod — or any gPodder server. No account with us, no cloud fees. Prefer no server at all? Vault Mode keeps everything on-device.
A hosted extra, never a gate.
YourPods Pro is a separate cloud service — web player, hosted sync, stats — for $30/year. It funds independent development. The app is complete without it, and nothing in the app is ever locked behind it.
