## Description

Try an episode on us! PodGuard removes the unnecessary profanity and mature themes that make interesting podcasts annoying to skip through.

PodGuard filters any podcast by removing profanity, mature themes, and ads. 

PodGuard prepares cleaned copies of podcast episodes by cutting profanity, selected mature-topic passages, and sponsor segments according to your settings.

Have you ever wanted to listen to a podcast, but hesitated because of the host’s language or the topics that might come up? PodGuard helps you enjoy comedy, news, true crime, interviews, and more with fewer interruptions and more confidence about what you will hear.

PodGuard cuts unwanted words and passages instead of covering them with a tone. The episode becomes slightly shorter, while the surrounding conversation stays as natural as possible. It fills the void of the profanity so your mind does not autofill profanity.

FILTER PROFANITY
Select Light, Moderate, or Strict. Custom lets you start with Strict and allow selected word groups back in. Strict can also remove clear irreverent exclamations involving sacred names while preserving prayer and genuine religious discussion.

FILTER EXPLICIT TOPICS
Off keeps mature conversations. Moderate removes explicit sexual material while preserving the surrounding story. Strict removes broader mature exchanges, including more of the setup and reactions.

SKIP AD READS
Turn on Skip ad reads to remove detected sponsor segments.

LISTEN YOUR WAY
Follow shows, download episodes for offline listening, build a queue, and resume where you left off. Playback can begin after PodGuard has checked the opening portion while the rest continues preparing.

PodGuard removes what it finds at the level you choose. No automated filter can promise that every episode will be free of everything you may object to, but PodGuard never plays beyond the portion it has checked.

Spend less time reaching for Skip. Listen with PodGuard.
