About YourPods
YourPods is a one-time-purchase podcast player for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and CarPlay that includes every feature — trim silence, voice boost, per-show playback profiles, an AutoPilot queue, and timestamped episode notes exportable to Obsidian, Markdown, or Nextcloud. It strips known tracking prefixes from episode URLs, offers zero analytics, and syncs through your own Nextcloud or any gPodder server, a free hosted sync, or fully on-device Vault Mode. The code is GPLv3 open source.
