══ A SOLO INDIE APP ══

I'm an Australian Android developer building Shuttle Podcasts for listeners who want a simple, fast podcast app without bloat.

You may know my other apps: Shuttle Music Player and Muzei Music Extension. When my favourite podcast app shut down, nothing quite hit the spot - so I built something for myself in the same minimal spirit. Clean, fast, focused on what matters: listening.

It's been working well for me for a while now, and I've been polishing it into something I can be proud of.

══ BUILT FOR POWER USERS ══

Underneath the simple UI, there's a wealth of features for serious podcast listeners. Customise playback, manage your subscriptions, organise your queue, download episodes for offline listening, and much more.

══ THE SHUTTLE PHILOSOPHY ══

Just like Shuttle Music Player, Shuttle Podcasts respects your battery and your privacy. Built in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, Media3 for playback, and Material 3 design - it feels like the app came with your phone.

I'm a solo developer based in Australia, and I'm building this because I love Android, audio and podcasts.
