YourPods
What it is
YourPods is a podcast player for Apple devices, Android, Windows, Linux, and modern web browsers. It supports offline downloads, episode transcripts, private feeds, and synchronization across devices. Playback controls include silence trimming, variable speed, smart skip, sleep timers, and Listening Profiles that can be set for individual podcasts. AutoPilot manages Up Next by adding new episodes, moving priority episodes higher, and applying those profiles. Apple support covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, CarPlay, Siri, Shortcuts, and Handoff. Sync connections include Nextcloud gPodder Sync, NextPod, RePod, custom gpodder.net servers, and other compatible services. Vault Mode keeps subscriptions, queues, and listening history on-device without an account or server. YourPods says it has no analytics, advertising, or data harvesting, while P3 removes tracking prefixes before playback or downloads. YourPods Sync stores account and listening data on United States infrastructure and supports JSON export and account deletion. The app has a free plan, with paid options from $4.99 and a 15-day trial.
