TUESDAY · MAY 11
A Mac app for podcasts you don't want to skim. Every episode is transcribed, every line is searchable, and every quote you save is one click away.
TUESDAY · MAY 11
OVERVIEW
Pode is built around the way people actually listen to long-form podcasts: searchable transcripts, bookmarks on the timeline, a queue you control. The interface stays out of the way so the conversation doesn't have to compete with it.
TRANSCRIPTS
Every episode is transcribed in full — locally on your Mac, or via your own OpenAI key. Search across your entire library, jump to any line, or copy a passage to share — all from the same view.
HIGHLIGHTS
Right-click any line in the transcript to save a highlight. Highlights appear as bookmarks on the playback timeline and gather in a dedicated tab — a reference library built from the moments that mattered to you.
The moment you ship the first version, you understand the problem differently. Everything you thought you knew up to then was a guess.
— On agents, edges, and attention · 00:42:18QUEUE
Click play on any episode and it moves to the front of your queue. Drag to reorder. New episodes from subscribed shows are added automatically — no algorithmic feed sitting between you and what you chose to listen to.
OPEN AND PRIVATE
No account. No tracking. No in-app purchases. No recommendation feed between you and the show.
AI summaries are optional. Connect your own API key — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — and the key never leaves your Mac.
READY?
Built for macOS 14 and later. Free, with no account required.
