## About

Most podcast players keep you inside one ecosystem and leave you scrubbing through ads and long episodes. FluidCast syncs your subscriptions, queue and playback position across Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Linux and the web, so you can start an episode on your phone and pick it up on your Mac right where you left off.

On the Mac it's a native app with background playback, variable speed, silence skipping, a sleep timer, transcripts, bookmarks, downloads for offline listening and local audio file playback. On supported Apple Intelligence devices, FluidCast uses episode transcripts to detect ad segments so you can skip them, and to generate chapters for episodes that don't have any.

FluidCast is built by an indie developer. It's free to download, with an optional Pro upgrade for cross-device sync, queue editing, folders, bookmarks and AI ad skipping.
