## Description

Skip podcast ads, intros and outros automatically. No setup, no tagging, no crowd-sourced database.<br><br>TrimPlayer learns what each show&#39;s intro sounds like by finding the audio that repeats across its episodes, then skips it for you from then on. You don&#39;t tag anything. You don&#39;t drag markers on a timeline. You press play.<br><br>Free and open source (GPL-3.0), forked from AntennaPod. No account, no ads, no tracking, no paywall.<br><br>Every podcast host reads the same sponsor script into a dozen episodes. Every show repeats its intro music, its outro, its &quot;subscribe and review&quot; plug. TrimPlayer&#39;s audio-matching engine listens for these exact repeats and cuts straight to new content, so you spend your listening time on the show, not the filler.<br><br>WHAT&#39;S DIFFERENT<br>Automatic: the app finds the repeated segments itself. Nothing to tag, mark or maintain.<br>Save real time: cutting filler means more episodes finished per week, not more minutes spent.<br>Seamless playback: skips are timed so transitions never feel abrupt or jarring.<br>You stay in control: skip intros, ads and outros independently, or turn any of them off.<br><br>HOW IT WORKS<br>TrimPlayer analyses a show&#39;s public episodes and learns the parts that repeat. The skip points are computed once, on the server, from the podcast&#39;s own public feed - not from your device - and shared with everyone who listens. A show nobody has played yet starts cold and gets better as more of its episodes are analysed.<br><br>100% FREE, NO CATCH<br>Everything works fully without paying a cent. If TrimPlayer saves you time, you&#39;re welcome to support development with an optional goodwill contribution, but nothing is ever locked behind a paywall.<br><br>A FULL PODCAST TOOLKIT<br>Discover shows through standard directories or add any RSS feed directly.<br>Adjust playback speed, skip silence automatically, boost quiet audio, and jump by chapter.<br>Auto-download new episodes over Wi-Fi for offline listening anywhere.<br>Set a sleep timer so shows wind down with you.<br>Build a custom queue for continuous, uninterrupted playback.<br>Import or export your whole library with OPML support.<br><br>Download TrimPlayer and get your listening time back.
