MuteCast

ADS OUT. PODCASTS ON.
Listen for the conversations, stories and ideas. MuteCast combines a podcast player with transparent on-device segment detection and Auto-Skip.

AUTO-SKIP—YOU DECIDE
MuteCast detects likely ads, self-promotion, introductions and endings on your device. Choose which types may be skipped for each podcast. Donation appeals count as self-promotion. Detection uses available transcripts, chapters, show notes, known patterns and audio cues. The four marking buttons follow your settings and require a readable timed transcript.

SEE WHAT WAS SKIPPED
The timeline shows detected segments and confidence. Skip History records automatic skips with reasons and lets you return to the original position later. Review the transcript and correct a label; corrections inform future analysis for that podcast.

OPTIONALLY SHORTEN PAUSES
Silence Reduction shortens longer speech pauses in podcasts. It is off by default, with global and per-podcast controls. Time Saved reports the shortened seconds separately. Music is not affected.

LISTEN, ORGANIZE AND FIND
• Subscribe to and refresh RSS podcasts; stream or listen offline
• View downloaded episodes with artwork in My Lists and drag them into a saved order
• Control your queue, chapters, speed and sleep timer
• Search available transcripts across your library, jump to a match and share text quotes
• Follow download, transcription and analysis progress

NEW EPISODES, YOUR RULES
After a feed refresh, eligible episodes from the last seven days are automatically queued when your download and network settings allow. New downloads can be prepared for transcription and analysis. Choose local notifications for new episodes, finished downloads and completed analyses per podcast. Delivery depends on permissions and background activity.

ACROSS YOUR APPLE DEVICES
Use MuteCast on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Control playback, volume, chapters and queue from Apple Watch. CarPlay offers podcast and music browsing plus playback controls. Subscriptions, playback positions, queue and analysis data sync through your private iCloud database, when iCloud sync is enabled.

YOUR MUSIC LIBRARY, TOO
Browse your Apple Music library with artwork, an album queue, shuffle and repeat. Music and podcasts retain separate listening positions. Title and timeline are updated together, including when returning to the app. iCloud shows the last shared title and listening position on iPhone, iPad and Mac; another device takes over audio only after you press Play. Music must be available in both libraries. Access depends on Apple permissions; some content requires an Apple Music subscription.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Analysis happens on your device. No MuteCast account, analytics, tracking SDKs, server-side analysis or in-app ads.

PAY ONCE. NO MUTECAST SUBSCRIPTION.
A podcast player with Auto-Skip, without a recurring MuteCast fee.
