Remember that one quote from a podcast last week? We help you find it in seconds.

Metacast makes every podcast searchable, skimmable, and easy to reference, so you can learn, retain, and share ideas effortlessly.

- Find insights, instantly. Search any podcast and jump straight to what matters to you.
- Never forget a great idea. Bookmark key takeaways. Easily find them later.
- Read or listen. It’s your choice. Seamlessly switch between reading the transcript and listening to audio.
- Save, organize, share. Capture podcast wisdom, copy to your notes, and share insights with a tap.
- Skip the fluff. No more scrubbing through endless intros or ads. Go straight to the good stuff.
- Learn your own way. Get information the way that works best for you: read, listen, or just skim.

Metacast is a fully bootstrapped company with no venture funding, so we can focus on the user experience.

We build the app together with our users and publish weekly updates on our podcast Metacast: Behind the Scenes.

Paid for premium. Hoping it improves. Really need to improve the searching capabilities for new podcasts, maybe add filters , and don't limit a category to only 15 podcasts, cant scroll to see more or search. also can't get it to work with Android auto. The transcript which was the main reason I signed up works well, but this app needs work

Sorry the search did not work for you! All public podcasts are searchable in the "Search" tab. You can also add private & public podcasts by the RSS feed URL. Feel free to reach us at support@metacast.app. Thanks for the kind words on transcripts. You can copy/share full transcripts in the web-app (tap "Share" on any episode in the app).

Promising app. The auto generated chapters are very useful to navigate long podcasts that don't embed them. But, and big but, the app doesn't allow setting episodes as played 😰. How are we going to migrate from other apps without this feature? This should be added ASAP by adding =1. Mark all episodes as played, 2 Select all above/below a certain episode and mark the previous/later episodes (very useful if you're at 400 out 1000 episodes on your previous player).

Hi Chris, thank you for taking the time to write the review! Allowing to mark episodes as played is on the roadmap. It will be a few months, just because we're working on other things at the moment. If it helps, we can reach out to you when the feature is ready. You can email us at support@metacast.app to make sure we know how to contact you.

What's new

This release includes new features and improvements:

- New feature: Set the default speed control for all episodes you play. Simply open the speed control in the player and toggle "Use for all episodes"
- New feature: The mini-player now shows the progress of the currently playing episode. It's a subtle touch that makes it easier to see where you are in the episode.

Other improvements:
- Add private RSS feeds with a single tap
- Audio player is now more stable (a big change under the hood!)
