Create one feed from many sources.

A Feedcast feed is a collection you control. It can combine episodes from different shows with files from your Mac, while keeping familiar podcast standards and player compatibility.

Podcasts & RSS

Search Apple’s catalog or paste an RSS or Atom URL. Auto-sync can archive new episodes locally as they arrive.

Local audio & video

Drop in MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC, MP4, MOV, and M4V files, then add artwork and episode metadata.

YouTube in Direct

Feedcast Direct accepts channels, playlists, and videos. Choose video or audio-only output and watch recurring sources for uploads.

A standards-based personal RSS feed

Feedcast generates a real podcast RSS feed rather than a proprietary playlist. You copy the feed URL and subscribe in a compatible app, where episodes appear with titles, artwork, descriptions, dates, seasons, episode numbers, chapters, and media enclosures.

Because the output follows podcast conventions, you can keep the player features you care about: queues, downloads, variable speed, synced playback position, sleep timers, and device integrations all belong to the podcast app you choose.

Local media hosting, optional online XML

Your audio and video files live on the Mac and are served by Feedcast’s small built-in server. Apple Podcasts can read the local feed over your network. Some other players need a web-accessible feed URL; Feedcast Premium can publish the RSS XML to Cloudflare for those apps.

What “online hosting” means: Feedcast publishes the feed XML, not the episode media. Enclosure files still stream from your Mac, so it must be awake, online, and reachable when a device downloads an episode.

The generated feed is personal and unlisted, not an authenticated public podcast hosting account. It is designed for your own listening workflow rather than distribution through a public podcast directory.

Organize around how you listen

You can combine several source subscriptions into one output feed. For example, a “Long Interviews” feed might contain selected podcast shows, a lecture series from YouTube, and recordings saved on your Mac. A feed can contain many shows and episodes; the free limit is three output feeds, not three podcast subscriptions.

Feedcast lets you edit feed and episode metadata, control visibility, use custom artwork, and decide which source syncs automatically. Premium removes the three-feed limit and adds OPML import for bringing in a larger subscription library.

Prepare episodes before delivery

A personal feed can do more than relocate media. Feedcast can add searchable on-device transcripts, retain or generate chapters, and physically cut detected sponsor sections from eligible episodes. The processed copy is then handed to your podcast player.

Private podcast feed FAQ

Is the feed protected by a password?

Feedcast feeds are personal and unlisted, but the hosted XML URL is not an authenticated subscription service. Keep the URL private.

Are my audio and video files uploaded?

No. Media remains on your Mac. Optional hosting publishes the RSS XML while media enclosures still point back to the Mac.

How many shows can one feed contain?

A feed can contain many source subscriptions and episodes. The free limit applies to three output feeds, not to three shows.
