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. Your Mac serves the clean episodes straight to it, no account needed. 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 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 SHOW SOUNDS BETTER Long pauses are tightened inside the episode itself, so it plays shorter in any player without clipping a word. Quiet guests and loud hosts are evened out, harsh s sounds are softened, and every show plays at the same volume. Where an ad was cut, a soft crossfade or a short sound of your choice marks the spot. 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. When you do open it, Metrics shows what you got back: the ad time removed, the time saved by shorter pauses and faster playback, and the shows you play most. 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, plus an editor for every RSS tag in your feed. 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. Your first five episodes also get sponsor removal and generated chapters at no cost, no trial needed. Premium is the part that runs by itself: sponsor removal and generated chapters on every new episode, tighter pauses and even volume, 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, with no investors and no ad deals. NEED TO KNOW Feedcast needs macOS 26 or later because of the modern transcription framework it uses.
