PulsarCast

PulsarCast is a podcast player designed for listeners who value speed, privacy, and minimal interference during playback. It addresses the need for an app that organizes shows, enables seamless listening across devices, and resumes playback exactly where it stopped without requiring accounts or subscriptions.

The app includes tools to customize a library through colored lists, filters based on duration, age or keywords, pinned favorites, archived episodes, and configurable home screen content. It supports smart lists, continuous queues, and display modes such as grid, list, and minimal. Users can import and export OPML files. Audio features comprise voice boost for volume leveling, pitch-corrected speed adjustment, and smart speed that trims silence while tracking saved time. Additional capabilities cover background downloads for offline listening, progress and download synchronization, automatic cleanup of finished or older files, chapters and links, a sleep timer, configurable skip buttons, per-show speed settings, intro and outro skipping, and an editable queue.

PulsarCast is delivered as a native application on iOS, iPadOS, Mac, Apple Watch, CarPlay, Android, and as a web app. The core player operates without an account and includes no advertising or third-party tracking. An optional Ultra tier provides access to AI-powered tools. Passwordless sync is available across devices for those who choose it.
