RelayPlay: Podcast Player

RelayPlay 1.5.1 improves accessible navigation, makes CarPlay streaming more reliable, and keeps Intelligent Moments in sync across your devices.

Not every episode. The right episode.

RelayPlay organizes your podcasts around how you actually want to listen. Hold, Latest, AutoSkip, and Catch Up create a personal Flow instead of an endless queue.

HOLD Not now, but later. Set aside a podcast or individual episode for a longer drive, a quiet evening, or exactly the right moment.

LATEST & AUTOSKIP Just want to stay current? Latest brings the newest episode into your Flow. AutoSkip automatically moves older, unplayed episodes to History so an unnecessary backlog never builds up.

INTELLIGENT MOMENTS (BETA) When you choose, RelayPlay recognizes books, music, podcasts, apps, web addresses, and discount codes mentioned in saved audio Moments and turns them into useful finds you can act on immediately. Analysis happens on your device; the original transcript remains unchanged.

MOMENTS Save around 30 seconds from an episode as an audio snapshot. The transcript helps you quickly find thoughts and passages again later.

CATCH UP Choose a starting point and listen to older episodes in the right order until you are back at the current episode.

YOUR FLOW No endless default queue. Your Flow shows what makes sense to hear next—based on Hold, Latest, AutoSkip, and Catch Up.

BRING YOUR PODCASTS Bring over podcasts from Apple Podcasts using Apple Shortcuts or import your podcast list from other apps. You can export your RelayPlay list at any time—as a backup or for a later switch.

RELAY SYNC Keep podcasts, listening progress, and settings current across your devices. Relay Sync is optional and uses your personal iCloud account.

INDIE SPOTLIGHT Discover handpicked independent podcasts beyond the usual recommendation lists. No rankings, no paid placements, and no recommendation engine.

OFFLINE & TRAVEL MODE Automatic downloads, a clear download manager, and Travel Mode prepare your podcasts for the road.

FLEXIBLE ON IPHONE AND IPAD RelayPlay uses portrait orientation on iPhone and adapts to portrait, landscape and narrow or wide windows on iPad.

CARPLAY, CHAPTERS & SYSTEM CONTROLS Jump directly to chapters, control your podcasts with CarPlay, and save a Moment from system playback controls on supported OS versions. On iOS 27, this also works from the Lock Screen and Control Center.

ACCESSIBILITY VoiceOver, large text, Voice Control, and Dark Mode make RelayPlay comfortable for more people.

RelayPlay stays intentionally clear and lightweight: no subscription, no in-app purchases, and no account required. Just get to the podcast you want to hear next, faster.
