A podcast player with episode downloads, configurable playlists and controls for spoken-word speed and volume.
Why it’s here
Overcast puts the next episode and the way it sounds at the center of podcast listening. Playlists help organize several shows without handling every episode individually.
Smart Speed shortens pauses and Voice Boost normalizes volume. Use the controls to suit the recording and your preference; its anonymous account system is different from keeping a reading library entirely on your device.
What you can do
- Shorten pauses with Smart Speed
- Even out spoken-word volume with Voice Boost
- Download episodes for offline listening
- Build playlists with show priorities and filters
A good fit for
Regular podcast listeners who want control over their queue and spoken-audio playback.
Before you download
Requires iOS 18 or later. Overcast creates an anonymous server account even if you do not add an email address. Listening data and syncing involve its servers; publisher downloads have separate privacy rules. Platform-exclusive shows may be unavailable.
