About drift cast

drift is a quiet player for podcasts and the audiobooks you own. It keeps your place, sounds good at any speed, and never asks for an account. Listen • Find shows in the podcast directory, or bring your own RSS feeds and OPML. • Up next plays in your order. Each show can send new episodes to Up Next, to New from your shows, or nowhere. • Download episodes for offline listening, or let drift fetch Up Next on Wi-Fi. • Speed from 0.5× to 4× with sliders or knobs, per show, with fine tuning. • Sleep timer: minutes, the end of an episode, or the end of a chapter. • drift checks your shows when you open it, and you can pull to check any time. Audiobooks you own • Import DRM-free M4B, M4A or MP3 files from Files. A book split across many files becomes one book with one timeline. • Chapters, per-book speed, and your place kept across restarts. • Smart rewind after a break, never back into the previous chapter. drift can't open copy-protected books. Sound • An equalizer made for voices, with presets for clarity, the car, less boom and less hiss. • Level voices evens out quiet guests and loud laughs. • Give a show or a book its own sound. Find your way • Publisher chapters, and skip the ones you choose. Per show, you can also skip chapters the publisher marked as sponsors, or a show's outro. • Read along with transcripts from the publisher, or made on your iPhone. • Moments and snips: mark a spot or save the last 30 seconds, add a note, and export them as Markdown. Read • Follow blogs and newsletters next to your shows, in a calm reader with highlights and notes. Around your iPhone • Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen. • Say "resume drift" to Siri, or use it in Shortcuts. • Light, dark, or follow your iPhone. • Listening stats, with podcasts and audiobooks kept apart.
