Up Next

A modern podcast client built around your queue, your feeds, and your privacy.

A local-first, open-source podcast player with smart chapter controls, on-device transcription, and a queue you can shape yourself.

Up Next podcast queue on iPhone

What it does

Useful software, made with care

A queue that is actually yours

Move episodes around, keep bookmarks, pick a playback speed, and set a sleep timer. Up Next is built around deciding what comes next instead of letting an opaque feed make the decision for you.

  • Manual queue ordering
  • Bookmarks
  • Playback speed and sleep timer

Listen with more context

Use chapter-aware playback and keyword rules to skip the recurring bits of a show. On-device transcription processing lets you read along without sending an episode to a transcription service.

  • Smart chapter skipping
  • Per-podcast keyword rules
  • On-device transcripts

Open podcasting, not a closed service

Bring an existing library in with OPML, add feeds by URL, download for offline listening, and use private feeds when they need a tokenized URL or HTTP Basic Authentication.

  • OPML import and export
  • Offline downloads
  • Private feed support

Made for the Apple ecosystem

Continue listening with CarPlay, Siri Shortcuts, and Apple Watch support. The point is to let a podcast player fit into the places you already listen.

  • CarPlay
  • Siri Shortcuts
  • Apple Watch

Privacy

Software that keeps its boundaries

Up Next has no account, no central server, no advertising tracker, and no locked features. Podcast listening stays under your control.

Latest update
