Pro audio. On autopilot.
Conquer your massive queue with a smart audio engine that respects your time.
Trim Silence
Save hours of listening time. Our smart audio engine automatically skips dead air and long pauses — without ever distorting the host's voice.
AutoPilot
Your queue runs itself. New episodes auto-add to Up Next, priority episodes jump to the top, and every show follows its own Listening Profile. Drag to reorder anytime.
Sleep Timer
Wind down your way. Set a timed countdown or choose DriftOff Mode to stop after the current show finishes. Control it hands-free with Siri from your pillow.
Everywhere you listen.
Buy once, use it everywhere. YourPods is meticulously crafted for the Apple ecosystem.
Apple Watch Freedom
Leave your phone behind. Download episodes directly to your wrist with configurable sync intervals — optimized for battery life without sacrificing reliability.
Siri & CarPlay
Keep your hands on the wheel. Full Siri voice support — including sleep timer control and "What's playing" — with a beautifully integrated CarPlay dashboard.
Smart Home Screen
Discover your next listen at a glance. A redesigned home screen with horizontally-scrollable "Recently Updated" rows, Dynamic Island integration, and full Lock Screen controls.
True privacy. Total control.
We believe your listening habits belong to you — and only you.
Zero Tracking
No analytics. No ads. No data harvesting. Your listening habits belong to you and never leave your device.
Self-Hosted Sync
Sync your library across all your Apple devices. For power users: connect your own gPodder-compatible server like Nextcloud — with session-based login, crash recovery, and full subscription import.
Share & Own Your Data
Share episodes, podcasts, or your playback position with anyone. Import and export your library via OPML — your podcast data always belongs to you.
Vault Mode
No server needed. Vault Mode keeps everything on-device — your subscriptions, queue, and listening history never leave your phone. Full functionality, zero sync.
