A Personal Project

I've been building Android apps for 15 years. You might know some of my other apps, including Shuttle Music Player and Muzei Music Extension. I built Shuttle Podcasts because I wanted a podcast player that's simple, fast and delightful.

When my favourite podcast app shut down, nothing quite hit the spot, so I built something for myself. It's been working well for me for a while now, and I've been polishing it into something I can be proud of.

Built for Power Users

Underneath the simple UI, there's a wealth of features for serious podcast listeners. Customise playback, manage your subscriptions, organise your queue, download for offline listening, and much more.

The Shuttle Philosophy

Just like Shuttle Music Player, the app respects your battery and your privacy. It uses the latest Android tools and standards — built in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, Media3 for playback, and Material 3 design. It feels like the app came with your phone.

I'm a solo developer based in Australia, and I'm building this because I love Android, audio and podcasts. If you're looking for a podcast player that's modern, lightweight and built with love, give Shuttle Podcasts a try.
