Podcini.R - Podcast instrument

Podcini.R is a revamped version from Podcini version 5, uses a modern object-base database. Though loaded with newer features, it works in similar ways as Podcini. Version 6.5 as a major step forward brings the capability of handling channels and playlists on Youtube or YT Music as normal podcasts within the Podcini.

Podcini, an open source podcast instrument, attuned to Puccini, adorned with pasticcini and aromatized with porcini, invites your harmonious heartbeats.

It allows you to subscribe to, in addition to Youtube channels, any RSS feed (with or without media), gives you instant access to millions of free and paid podcasts or plain RSS feeds, from independent podcasters to large publishing houses. Add, import and export their feeds hassle-free using the Apple Podcasts database, OPML files or simple RSS URLs.

Download, stream or queue episodes and enjoy them the way you like with adjustable playback speeds, chapter support and a sleep timer. In case the feed contains no media (plain RSS feed), Text-to-Speech engine (if available) is used to play the text.

Save effort, battery power and mobile data usage with powerful automation controls for downloading episodes (specify times, intervals and WiFi networks) and deleting episodes (based on your favourites and delay settings).

Transcripts or episode descriptions can be easily shared as text to other apps for record-keeping.

Listening progress can be instantly synced across devices in the same wifi network without a server.

Made by podcast-enthusiasts, Podcini is free in all senses of the word: open source, no costs, no ads.

Podcini emphasizes on efficient battery usage, streamlined podcast management and convenient player control while listening.
