Many of you may be asking: what's the big advantage to using this over just accessing overcast.fm in a browser. Well, I'm glad you asked.
The two main advantages are:
- The app runs continuously on the menu bar and you can easily get It out of the way
- You can use your keyboard's media keys to play/pause and go forward/back 30s quickly
That's It :)

@_inside Looks awesome! Was looking for a product that did this :) Love being able to use your keyboard to quickly manage controls

@_inside The ability to use global keyboard shortcuts is all I really wanted out of a desktop Overcast app. Thanks for making this!

@_inside Nice! Much cleaner experience than using Overcast via Fluid app

Awesome. The one thing I've been missing is the keyboard shortcuts. Is there a way to make rewind 15 seconds instead of 30?

Any idea why when I open this app my mouse stops working? I restarted my computer twice and both times it's caused it to stop as soon as I opened your app.
Very awesome. Feature request: allow the keyboard media play/pause button to operate the currently active podcast. Bit of a faff to open and pause. Beardspice manages this somehow with browsers, so assume it is possible?
Wow, nice work! Insta-sync'ed all my shows and eps, and even knows where to start in the show if I'm in the middle of one. I'm sure Marco would be proud :)
If I could give you 1000+ upvotes, I would. Just moved to the Overcast webapp full time after their latest update and the lack of media key functionality (though totally understandable for a web app) has been killing me slowly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
