FluidCast Podcast Player that Skips Ads with AI

Hi everyone,

I’ve shipped a major update to FluidCast, a cross-platform podcast app with a first-class iOS and Mac experience, and early alpha clients for Windows, Linux, and Android.

The biggest change in this update is AI ad-skipping. FluidCast now uses Apple Intelligence to detect and skip ads and sponsorship segments. No more scrubbing through ads. You also get transcripts with tappable timestamps, a redesigned player and general UI improvements.

Why I built FluidCast

I began working on FluidCast after Plex Podcasts and Google Podcasts were discontinued. It felt like the podcast app space was shrinking. Great native apps locked to one platform, or cross-platform options that didn’t really feel native anywhere.

FluidCast is my attempt to do both: a polished, native Apple app, while still supporting most other platforms.

Features

  • Automatic downloads
  • Notifications
  • Sleep timer
  • Transcripts
  • Queue management (Pro)
  • Cloud sync (Pro)
  • Bookmarks (Pro)
  • AI Ad Skipping (Pro)

Early alpha builds are available for:
Windows
Linux
Android

These share the same core app logic but are still rough and haven't reached feature parity yet. iOS and macOS remain the primary focus.
