Clearcast is an iPhone podcast player that detects and skips selected podcast segments such as ads, promos, intros, outros, and previews. Listeners choose which segment types to skip and can review detected sections before jumping to them. The player supports episode downloads for offline listening, an editable queue, playback speed, Voice Boost, sleep timers, optional notifications, and search across shows, episodes, and a personal library. Chapters are included when available from publishers, with AI used to create them when a show does not provide chapter markers. Subscriptions, saved episodes, history, settings, and playback progress can sync across devices. Clearcast is free to download, with Pro listed at $4.99 monthly or $39.99 yearly. The listing says these subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Apple's developer-reported privacy label includes purchases, search history, identifiers, usage, and diagnostics linked to the user; Apple has not verified that disclosure. Clearcast requires iOS 26.0 or later.
