A clean, focused player for the shows you actually listen to.
Gillocast is a fast, no-nonsense podcast app for Apple platforms. Subscribe to your shows, pick up where you left off across every device, and keep the listening experience clean — no ads from us, no account, no friction.
Built for the way you actually listen.
A podcast player should disappear into the background — until you reach for it, and then it should just work. Gillocast is tuned for daily listeners: subscribe, sync, listen, move on with your day.
Subscribe and forget.
Search the public podcast index, subscribe in a tap, and new episodes show up automatically. iCloud keeps your subscriptions and progress in sync across every Apple device.
Smart, gentle playback.
Variable playback speed, silence-skipping, custom skip intervals, and a sleep timer that fades to silence instead of cutting off. Pause and resume bring the audio back smoothly.
Listen everywhere you go.
Full-feature playback on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple Watch and CarPlay land at launch. AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, and CarPlay all behave the way you'd expect.
A fair free tier. A reasonable upgrade.
Gillocast streams audio to your device every time you listen — there's a real cost behind that. The free tier covers casual listening; Supporter funds the infrastructure and unlocks the deeper features for daily listeners.
Free
Subscribe to as many podcasts as you want. Daily and weekly listening caps keep the free tier sustainable while you decide if Gillocast is for you. No ads, no account.
Supporter
Unlimited listening. Custom themes, alternate icons, advanced playback (chapter art, episode artwork on lock screen, bookmark notes), and standalone Apple Watch playback.
