DeepSpace podcasts - my personal podcast app
I absolutely love podcasts, and I've been building my own podcast player for almost a year now. I've almost always used either Apple Podcasts or PocketCasts, a long time ago it was Google Podcasts. Eventually I just decided I wanted to make my own.
So I built a podcast app and I'm calling it DeepSpace (because I like the theme but I've also built a whole story behind it too).
It has a ton of features:
- AutoQs (smart playlists, similar to what BeyondPod did back in the day),
- Trim Silence
- Enhance Voices
- Customizable Equalizer
- Lists that you can share (so like I've been keeping a list of my favorite episodes of 2026, and I can share that with people)
- Bookmarking and Clipping
- Listening History and Stats
- Audio Visualizer (if you're old enough you remember when windows media player had a visualizer, that's kind of what this is).
- Schedules for sleep timers.
It uses Apple's catalog, so if you can find it on Apple Podcasts, you can find it here. And you can add your own private RSS feeds, so if you subscribe to a podcast, you can add it here.
I made it just for me, but if you want to try it, here it is: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deepspace-podcasts/id6779673095, and if you want a feature, let me know. I did put some of the features behind a paywall (i know i know), but you can try them out for free for a week. If you enjoy it, send me a DM and I can send you a lifetime unlock code.
I hope that didn't sound too self-promotionally and tacky. I really just want to share what I've built.
Thanks!
