Everything in Free stays free. Version 1.1.0 TestFlight testers get Plus free during the beta. Neither tier needs a PodMelody account or contains advertising. Your listening data stays on your devices or in your own iCloud account — never in a separate PodMelody cloud.

Pro audio, in one view

What an hour of talk actually costs you.

Every tool on this page, switched on at once: pre-processed playback, voice enhancement, volume levelling and silence compression — with the episode clock and the wall clock side by side, so you can see the difference rather than take our word for it.

PodMelody playing a podcast on iPad: a waveform timeline with an episode clock on the left and a wall clock on the right, a 3.0× pre-processed speed control, and rows for voice enhancement, volume levelling and silence compression
Episode time against wall clock — a 6:04 episode maps to 2:01 at 3.0×, with episode and wall-clock elapsed and remaining time traced across the same waveform. Shown on iPad; the same tools are on iPhone.

We're not going to tell you what to listen to next. The shows you choose, in the order you want them, at the speed you set.
