Spool Podcasts

Spool is a podcast app that puts you in control of what plays and what stays.

QUEUE
A new episode only joins your queue if you've told that show to put it there: at the top, at the bottom, or not at all. Mark the shows you never miss as priority podcasts, and their episodes play ahead of everything else, even when you play something else in between. Play Next puts any episode in front of them all.

INBOX
New episodes of shows that you don't choose to queue collect in the Inbox for as many days as you choose, and leave the moment you play or queue one.

PLAYLISTS
Add a show to a playlist and its new episodes arrive there as well. Good for a theme you dip into, rather than a queue you work through in order. Episodes you finish or delete step out of the way, and come back if you queue them again.

CLIPS
Save a moment from any episode, with a note if you like. Share it as a link that plays just that moment, as audio, or as a video with the show's artwork or Spool's cassette, tall or square. On iOS 26, videos can carry captions of what's said.

EVERY SHOW, ITS OWN WAY
Any show you follow can keep its own playback speed, Voice Boost and Trim Silence, and skip its intro and outro. Everything else follows your settings.

LISTENING, YOUR WAY
• CarPlay, with your queue, Inbox, shows and playlists
• Chapters, with chapter artwork, marked right on the scrubber
• Show notes with links that open and timestamps that jump straight to that moment
• Playback speed, a sleep timer that can stop at the end of the episode, and skip lengths you choose
• Voice Boost, which evens out a quiet guest and a loud host
• Trim Silence (experimental), which shortens long pauses in the audio
• OPML import and export of your library
• Your library, queue, playlists and progress sync through iCloud
• Home Screen widgets for what's playing and your episode lists
• A Control Center button, plus Siri and Shortcuts for playback, sleep timers and playlists
• Notifications when new episodes arrive, with Play Next and Add to Queue right on the notification, and muting show by show
• Swipe actions you arrange yourself
• In English and French

Every listening feature in Spool is free. If you'd like to support its development, Spool Supporter is an optional subscription that also unlocks eight accent colours, each with a matching app icon. No ads, no tracking.
