Autohop: Podcast Player

Your podcasts, already in order. Autohop finds, downloads and queues fresh episodes automatically—now with private iCloud sync and playback on Apple TV.

Your podcasts. Already in order.

Autohop is the podcast player that finds fresh episodes, downloads them, organises Up Next and keeps listening moving without daily queue management. Rank your shows once and Autohop does the routine work for you.

PRIORITY STACK

Drag your subscriptions into the order that matters to you. Autohop keeps ready episodes from higher-priority shows ahead of the rest, then automatically moves to what comes next. Pin any episode when you want it played next.

RELEASE RADAR

Release Radar learns when your shows usually publish, checks intelligently in the background and brings new episodes into Up Next. Download-first playback keeps your listening dependable when reception becomes unreliable.

NOW ON APPLE TV

Continue listening or watch video podcasts on the big screen. Your subscriptions, priority order, Up Next queue, history, archive state and playback position stay coordinated through your private iCloud account.

Browse Discover on Apple TV and play audio or video without changing your subscriptions.

DISCOVER AND SEARCH

Explore charts, categories, new releases and standout episodes. Search clearly separated Shows and Episodes, search your own Library first, or browse conservative Publisher and Creator groupings. Open a result to see full show or episode details before listening.

AUDIO, TUNED PER SHOW

• Set a different playback speed for every podcast.
• Trim Silence reduces pauses without cutting into speech.
• Vocal Boost makes voices clearer.
• Set start skip and end skip for recurring intros and credits.
• Shared Listening temporarily applies comfortable group settings, then restores your personal choices.

SLEEP THAT LOOKS AFTER ITSELF

Use a normal sleep timer or create a repeating Sleep Schedule. Autohop checks whether you are still listening, fades gradually if you have drifted off, and rewinds so it is easier to find your place next time.

BUILT FOR SERIOUS LISTENING

• Audio and video podcasts, including full-screen landscape video.
• CarPlay support for safe access on the road.
• Chapters, chapter navigation and optional automatic chapter skipping.
• Per-podcast download filters and automatic archiving.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No Autohop account. No advertising analytics. No third-party tracking SDKs. Your listening data stays on your devices, while sync uses your own private iCloud account, which Autohop’s developer cannot inspect.
