Follow the words
Use a supplied transcript when a show includes one, or create a local transcript on supported iPhones with Premium. Tap a passage to return to that moment.
Fennec Cast for iPhone · Public beta
Hear the story.Skip the noise.
A podcast player shaped around the way you actually listen: a living queue, local audio tools, transcripts, chapters, and a Home screen you can make your own.
iPhone beta · Apple Watch and Mac alpha · Apple TV in development
A listening system, not an inbox
The episode is only the beginning.
Fennec keeps your next listen, your audio preferences, and the context around an episode in one calm place. You decide what comes next and how it should sound.
The real app, in motion
From Home to the words behind the episode.
A short recording captured directly from the running iPhone app with original demonstration content.
Music Detection · Beta
Keep the conversation moving.
Fennec can analyse downloaded audio on your device and mark likely music passages. Choose to skip them or play them at normal speed while the rest of the episode follows your preferred pace.
Skip Play at 1×
Detection is experimental, can be inconsistent, and uses extra battery and processing time. Analysis runs only in the supported app states shown in Fennec. Music Detection, local transcription, generated chapters, and some audio effects require Premium. Availability also varies by device and beta build.
Made for voices
Tune the sound, not your attention.
Voice Boost brings speech forward. Shorten Silences keeps pauses natural but tighter. Playback speed, mono audio, noise reduction, De-Esser and EQ give you room to make difficult recordings easier to follow.
Audio effects require a downloaded episode; Noise Reduction, De-Esser, and EQ require Premium.
Transcript + Chapters
Read it. Find it. Jump back in.

See the shape of an episode
Publisher chapters stay close to the player. With Premium, Fennec can also turn a transcript into a practical chapter outline when supported.
A modular Home
Your listening habits deserve their own layout.
Arrange the sections you use, hide the ones you do not, and choose how much each one shows. The same Home can feel quiet on Monday and ready for a long trip on Friday.
Queue + Calendar
Plan the next hour — and the next week.
Playing Next stays yours
Add, remove and reorder episodes without turning your queue into another unread list. It is a listening plan you can change at any time.
Know what is likely to land
The Calendar puts recent releases beside forecasts based on each show’s publishing rhythm, so a busy week is easier to see coming.
Why Fennec
Familiar where it should be. Different where it matters.
Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Pocket Casts already cover the podcast essentials well. Fennec’s focus is how Playing Next, a modular Home, and on-device analysis work together as one listening workflow.
Comparisons describe product emphasis, not exclusive features. Availability depends on the current Fennec beta build.
- 01
Queue first
Treat Playing Next as a plan, not a side panel.
- 02
On-device analysis
Eligible downloaded episodes are analysed on supported iPhones. Streaming and sync still use network services when needed.
- 03
Room to adapt
Change the Home, sound and episode context without changing apps.
Listen in a browser
The Web Player is already here.
Open Fennec in a modern browser for library browsing and playback. Account-linked sync is still in beta and may not be available for every account or build. A network error does not erase local player state.
