About

Kasts is a convergent podcast application that looks good on desktop and mobile.

Its main features are:

  • Episode management through play queue
  • Sync playback positions with other clients through gpodder.net or gpodder-nextcloud
  • Variable playback speed
  • Search for podcasts
  • Full system integration: e.g. inhibit system suspend while listening
