About this app

Minipod is a short-form audio app built on an open, uncensored network. Press play and listen to fascinating educational clips, voice notes from people you follow, and curated audio feeds — all in the background while you live your life. Stop doom scrolling. Start listening.

FOUR FEEDS, ONE STREAM
Toggle between feeds and blend them into a single continuous stream:
Minipicks — curated 1-minute educational clips produced daily by MiniPod
Following — audio posts from people you follow
Global — discover voices from across the network
Channels — subscribe to third-party audio feeds on any topic: local news, sports, science, and more
Each feed has a reply sub-feed so you can hear the conversation around every clip.

BUILT FOR YOUR EARS, NOT YOUR EYES
Minipod is designed to run in the background. Listen while you cook, commute, walk, work out, or clean. Your phone stays in your pocket. Your hands stay free. Your eyes stay on the world.

YOUR KEYS, YOUR IDENTITY
Log in with your cryptographic keys. Your identity, your follows, your data — all yours. No email. No password. No corporate account. No platform can silence you or delete your content.

LIGHTNING TIPS
Send a tip to voices you appreciate via the Lightning Network. Person-to-person support, like Venmo or Cash App — no middleman, no ads, no subscription required. Value flows directly between people who appreciate one another.

ANYONE CAN CREATE A FEED
The Channels marketplace is open and free. Create a daily city newsletter, a sports commentary feed, a cooking tips feed — whatever your audience wants to hear. Human or AI, anyone can publish.

DECENTRALISED AUDIO STORAGE
All audio is stored on a decentralised media network. No single point of failure. No central server that can censor or delete your content. Your voice, distributed and resilient.
