For people who listen to more podcasts than they can remember

A podcast player that remembers what you heard.

You get through hours of episodes a week, and by Friday most of it is gone. upnext transcribes the shows you already follow, keeps the takeaways, and brings them back a day later, then three days, then a week, until they stick.

No credit card. The free plan isn't a trial.

What happens when you use it

1. Play
Open an episode from any show you follow. Your place is saved, same as any other player, and synced with Spotify if you use it.
2. Save the takeaways
When something stands out, save it without pausing. When the episode ends, upnext writes the main points, each linked to when they were said.
3. Revisit them until they stick
A day later one comes back. Then three days, then a week. Say it in your own words, or let it quiz you. Tap to hear that second again. On Sunday, one email: what you heard that week, and what is due back.

If you only have 20 minutes, say so. It offers episodes that fit, including ones you already started, counting the time left, not the full length.

What you can put in it

Podcasts, and only podcasts. Nothing here asks you to leave the app you already listen in.

Any podcast
Search the open directory, follow a show, and its whole back catalog is playable here.
Your Spotify
Connect it and your follows come over. Where you stopped syncs both ways.

A longer list of what works today is on the product page.

Why it exists

I built this for myself. I was getting through a podcast a day, and by Friday I could not tell you one thing I had heard. Now the takeaways are waiting when I sit down, and the good ones come back.
