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.

A closed iPhone Duo with PodMelody's Home on its cover screen: the PodMelody masthead, counters for selected music, songs between pods and fresh episodes, a Start Mix bar, podcast and music source tiles, and the mini-player

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.

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, follow and queue your shows by name. Choose Editorial or System; both interfaces are included free, with light, dark or automatic appearance.

What to ask Siri → Explore the two interfaces →

PodMelody Home: podcast and music source tiles above a Start Mix button, with a control for how many songs play between episodes — **Home** — choose the shows and playlists you're in the mood for, then start the mix. The four selected sources shown here fit within a Free mix.

PodMelody's Mix settings: a Songs between podcasts stepper set to 1, a Visible queue items stepper set to 20, and toggles for rotating podcast sources, prioritising ready episodes, podcast first and shuffling music — **The mix** — one song between episodes, or five. Rotate between shows, lead with a podcast, shuffle the music: the interleave is yours to set. The 20-item queue shown here uses Plus; Free shows up to six upcoming items.

PodMelody Now Playing screen with artwork, scrubber and playback 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.

An iPhone Duo opened flat and seen from the outside: the back with its cameras on the left, and PodMelody's Podcasts page on the cover screen on the right, with a grid of podcast stations and the mini-player — **iPhone Duo, the cover screen** — your stations, your shows and the player, without opening the phone.

PodMelody on an opened iPhone Duo turned sideways: Music on the left page with a grid of playlists, Podcasts on the right page with a grid of shows, each with its own search field, and the mini-player along the bottom — **iPhone Duo, opened out** — Music on one page, Podcasts on the other, so a mix can be picked from both at once.

PodMelody on iPad: Now Playing on the left with artwork and transport controls, and the Up Next queue filling the right of the screen, alternating between rows marked SONG and rows marked PODCAST — **iPad, full screen** — the player and the queue own the whole window now, the same mix in the same order, both in view at once.

CarPlay · available now

The same queue, all the way to the dash.

PodMelody carries your mix to the dash intact, with big glanceable targets and speed controls. PodMelody Plus adds the same interleaved Queue, along with Mix and Browse.

A player for people who listen a lot.
