Clean episodes without changing players.
Feedcast is a processing layer on your Mac. It downloads a personal copy, improves it, and publishes a feed for the app you already know.
Podcast ad blocker
Feedcast finds each sponsor read, cuts it out of the file and joins the audio back up. Chapter marks are repaired around the gap, and every cut is listed for you to keep or undo.
How sponsor removal worksChapters & transcripts
Chapters a show already ships are kept, and episodes without any can have them written from the transcript. Every episode is transcribed on your Mac, timed to the second.
Explore chapters and transcriptsPrivate podcast feeds
Group shows, local audio and video, and YouTube in the direct download into standards-based personal feeds served from your Mac.
Build a private podcast feedCut out, not skipped.

- Every cut listed with its range and length
- Review, disable or undo any cut
- The untouched original stays on your Mac
Chapters, exactly as you want them.
Chapters a show already ships are kept as they are, artwork included. Episodes that arrive without any can get them from the transcript.

- Chapter artwork travels with the episode

One link, and your player picks it up.
A small server on your Mac turns your library into a real RSS feed. Group any number of shows into it, copy the link, paste it into your app.
- Standards-based RSS, no lock-in
- Streams with seeking over your network
- An online feed address by default, with Local Only as an option
Listen in the app you already love.
Your Mac keeps the files and streams them. Feedcast publishes only the small feed listing online by default, so apps that need a web address can subscribe.
Files stay home
Your audio and video live on your Mac, and a small built-in server streams them to whatever device asks.
Only the feed goes online
Every feed gets a web address by default. Choose Local Only when you want the feed file to stay on your Mac too.
Subscribe anywhere
Apple Podcasts reads the feed over your network. Overcast, Pocket Casts and Castro need the online feed, which hosting provides.

Questions, answered.
Does Feedcast block podcast ads?
It cuts them out of the file. Feedcast downloads the episode, finds where each sponsor read starts and ends, removes those stretches and joins the audio back up. What your player downloads is simply a shorter episode, and every cut is listed for you to keep or undo.
Can I keep using my current podcast app?
Yes. Feedcast creates a standards-based personal RSS feed for Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castro, and other podcast players. It improves your episodes without asking you to move your listening into another app.
Why is YouTube only in the direct download?
YouTube import relies on a tool the Mac App Store does not allow apps to bundle, so the App Store build leaves it out. The direct download is the same app with that feature added. Local files, RSS and Apple Podcasts work the same in both.
Can one feed mix YouTube, podcasts and local files?
Yes. A feed is just a collection, so it can hold episodes from any source at once. The tabs in the app only choose what you are importing, not which feeds you see.
Where do the episode files actually live?
On your Mac, which streams them to your phone over your network. Online hosting publishes the feed file, the small list of what exists and where to get it, so apps that need a web address can find it. The audio and video stay put.
Can I listen on my phone?
Yes. Every feed gets an online address by default, so you can subscribe in whatever podcast app you love and use all of its features: variable speed, position syncing, AirPods and sleep timers.
What does Feedcast cost?
The app is free, with three online feed addresses, on-device transcripts, playback, chapter editing and every library tool. Premium costs $4.99 a month or $44.99 a year after a free week, and adds sponsor removal and generated chapters on new episodes, unlimited feeds and OPML import.
What do I need to run it?
A Mac running macOS 26 or later. Your feeds are served from your Mac, so it needs to be awake and online when other devices fetch episodes. An always-on desktop Mac like a Mac mini or Mac Studio is ideal, though any Mac works while it is running.
