Hey Product Hunt! I’m Víctor, founder of GuideDoc, but I’m also a podcaster and a ridiculously heavy podcast listener.
I’ve listened to podcasts every day for years, while walking, driving, cooking, working, basically whenever I can.
Like many people, I used Overcast for a long time. But lately it had become increasingly frustrating for me: bugs, strange queue behaviour, sync issues, and an experience that simply did not feel as reliable as it used to. Maybe some of you have felt the same.
I tried moving to other apps, but I always missed something. So I eventually did the slightly unreasonable thing: I decided to build the podcast app I wanted to use myself.
That became PulsarCast.
I wanted a player with a proper Up Next queue, useful lists, Smart Speed, clearer voices, sensible downloads and apps for all the places where I listen: iPhone, Android, Mac, Apple Watch, CarPlay, Android Auto and the web.
I also wanted it to be private. The core player is free, requires no account, contains no ads and has no third party trackers. The AI features are optional rather than something forced into the listening experience.
Overcast has contributed a lot to podcast listening and has clearly influenced some of my thinking. PulsarCast is not about pretending otherwise. It is simply my attempt to take the experience in a different direction.
It started as an app built for myself, but more and more listeners are now using it and helping shape what comes next.
I’d love your honest feedback, especially if you’re also a heavy podcast listener or a long time Overcast user. What would PulsarCast need to become your everyday podcast app?
Thanks for checking it out!
