What is Overcast for Mac (unofficial)?
Overcast for Mac (unofficial) is a free, open-source desktop application that lets you access and listen to podcasts from the popular Overcast podcasting service on your Mac computer. Since Overcast does not have an official desktop app, this community-built app aims to fill that gap.
With Overcast for Mac, you can browse and play podcasts in your Overcast account just like you would on your iPhone or iPad. It gives you standard playback controls like play, pause, skip, rewind, change playback speed, and add bookmarks. The app also stays in sync with the Overcast iOS app so your play progress, favorites, and settings carry over between devices.
As an unofficial app, Overcast for Mac may occasionally break with Overcast API changes or lack some brand-new features. But overall it provides a simple yet effective way to listen to Overcast podcasts on your desktop. And because it is open source, the developer community can continue improving and updating it as needed. So if you wish you had a native Mac app for Overcast, this free utility delivers that basic functionality.
