Podcast ads, cut out before you press play. You know the moment. The host takes a breath, the music changes, and here comes ninety seconds about a mattress company or that one website creator. Feedcast takes those out. And you keep listening exactly where you listen now: Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castro, or any other player. This is not another player asking you to start your library over somewhere new. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your shows. Search Apple's podcast catalog, paste any RSS URL, or drag in your own files. 2. Feedcast downloads each new episode on your Mac, transcribes it, finds the sponsor reads, and cuts them out of your copy. 3. Subscribe to your Feedcast feed in the app you already use. That is the last time you have to think about it. From then on, new episodes arrive clean, automatically, as soon as they come out. THE ADS GO Host reads. Mid-rolls. Feedcast finds all types in what is actually said in the episode, not in a list somebody else maintains, so it works on small shows too. • Review every cut, keep, or undo • The untouched original is kept, nothing is ever lost • Detection is good, not perfect CHAPTERS APPEAR Skip to the interview. Skip past the intro banter. You know what is good, so skip to it. Chapters a show already ships are kept exactly as they are, even with chapter artwork. EVERY WORD IS SEARCHABLE Each episode is transcribed on your Mac, and the transcript scrolls along with playback. Remember a quote but not where it was? Search the episode and jump to the second it was said. IT RUNS WITHOUT YOU Feedcast sits in the menu bar and checks your shows on a schedule. An episode drops, and it gets downloaded, cleaned, and filed away while you do something else. It can hold off until you are on power, tell you when episodes land, and delete old ones so your disk never fills up. Most days you never open it. You just notice your podcasts got better. EDIT EVERYTHING You can edit nearly every RSS feed attribute, giving you full control over your podcast’s metadata. You can use it to preview how your own podcast will appear across different podcast players in real time. A REAL MAC APP Native SwiftUI, light and dark without being asked. Waveform seeking, chapter skip, 0.5x to 2x speed, and it remembers where you stopped. Three editors come with it: Autochapter for transcripts, Chaptercast for MP3 chapters and artwork, SponsorScrub for the cuts. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING There is no sign-up. Your episodes and transcripts live on your Mac, transcription happens on-device. No ads inside the app either, which would be a strange thing for this app to have. FREE, AND PREMIUM Free is a real app, not a demo. Three feeds, each holding as many shows and episodes as you like, an online feed address for every player, on-device transcripts, per-episode search, playback, chapter editing, and every library tool in Feedcast. Premium is the part that runs by itself: sponsor removal and generated chapters on every new episode, unlimited feeds, and OPML import. And the first week is free. Start the trial tonight, let Feedcast work through the shows you actually listen to, and decide in the morning. Feedcast is made by one student developer. No investors, no ad deals, no growth team. The subscription is the entire reason it can keep going. NEED TO KNOW Feedcast needs macOS 26 or later because of the modern transcription framework it uses. Your Mac holds and serves the episode files, so leave it awake and on the network when your podcast app downloads them.
