Most podcast apps are a streaming catalogue behind a login. This one plays files from a folder you pick, so it works with the network off — plane, car, no signal. Built so a child who can't read can drive it. The shelf is cover art, not menus. Skipping an episode needs a hold, so a stray tap can't lose their place. A PIN guards the volume cap, the folder, and a sleep timer that can't be turned off without it — a bedtime, not a suggestion. No ads, no accounts, no tracking. OPML in and out.
