Your podcasts and Apple Music, one queue.

Something unhurried, for the long way home.

PodMelody gives you back your music. The episode ends, the songs you chose start, and you never touch your phone. Set how many songs play between episodes and PodMelody weaves the mix — on the lock screen, in the car and across your Apple devices.

iPhone Duo, closed · one queue · songs and episodes take turns

The idea

The queue is the centre of the app.

Podcasts have a way of crowding music out. One episode ends, the next begins, the backlog never runs dry — and the songs you love quietly stop getting a turn. PodMelody gives you back your music: an episode, then the songs you chose, then the next episode, with your hands nowhere near the phone.

For people who listen a lot — across a commute, a workout, a long flight — the queue is the session. Most podcast players leave your music to another app. PodMelody puts the queue front and centre, and lets music live in it too.

How interleaving works →

The mix in motion — tap Start Mix, an episode ends, the music begins, and the queue rolls on.

Keep up with your shows, keep your music

59:30 becomes 22:02

An hour of talk in twenty-two minutes, at 2.7× — and it still sounds like a voice. The time you save is time for the songs; they always keep their own tempo.

How speed works →

See it in the app

From the first play to the last.

Your mix is yours to reorder, reshape, and continue. It follows you across your Apple devices, so you can pick up where you left off instead of hunting for your place.

Made for iOS 27: ask Siri to play your shows and playlists by name. Choose the bold, glossy System look or the calm Editorial one; both are included free, with light, dark or automatic appearance.

PodMelody's Now Playing in the System look: a large cover over a backdrop tinted from its colours, the episode title and show, a scrubber showing the time at 1.8×, glossy transport controls, and buttons for speed, audio, AirPlay and the queue — **Now Playing** — speed, chapters and bookmarks for episodes, with silence compression on Plus; the controls change to suit whatever is playing.

PodMelody's Now Playing in the Editorial look: framed cover art, the show and the episode title in serif type, a scrubber with two rows of times beneath it, episode position and wall-clock time at 1.8×, a 1.8× speed chip, and skip-back, play, skip-forward and next controls — **Now Playing** — speed, chapters and bookmarks for episodes, with silence compression on Plus; the controls change to suit whatever is playing.

More room, so nothing has to hide.

Made for iPhone Duo: closed, your mix and its player are right there on the cover screen. Open it out and the player carries on full size; turn it sideways and Music and Podcasts open side by side as one spread. Turn an iPad sideways for the same two pages, or an iPhone for a two-pane Now Playing.
