Apple's Top Podcasts chart plus seventeen genres, the entire iTunes search index, and any RSS feed you can paste — all in the same tab.
Switch between grid and list views. Tap any podcast to see its full episode list with descriptions rendered the way the publisher wrote them.
Skip intervals, lock-screen Next behavior, shrink-on-scroll Play Bar, time-remaining vs total duration, custom tags — every toggle is a feature you'd notice missing.
PodHaven has a dense settings page, a per-podcast settings sheet most users miss, and a recommendation engine that gets sharper the more you train it. These guides walk you through the corners worth knowing.
Five-minute first-launch checklist: import OPML, set your skip intervals, train the rec engine.
Custom playback rate, auto-queue, cache strategy, freshness cadence — for each show you subscribe to.
How to rate strategically, when to use Not Interested, and how to course-correct when the picks drift.
Settings reference, queue tactics, offline strategy, sharing & widgets — the full help section.
The kind of details that don't fit on a feature list, but you'd notice the moment they were missing.
PodHaven remembers exactly which chunks of an episode you've heard — not just a single playhead — so half-listened episodes feed recommendations honestly.

Pause on your phone, resume on CarPlay, finish on AirPods. The playhead follows you everywhere.
New-episode pushes carry artwork attachments and deep links straight back to the episode.
Show notes render as the publisher wrote them — links, formatting, and clickable timestamps included.
The recommendation engine runs on-device. Listening history stays on your phone. No analytics SDKs riding along.
SwiftUI, Swift 6 concurrency, Swift Testing, GRDB. A codebase that's a pleasure to live in — and you can read it on GitHub.
