Detect likely ads, self-promos, donation appeals, intros and outros on your device. Choose which types may be skipped for each podcast; other types play normally. Detection draws on available transcripts, chapters, show notes, known patterns and audio cues. Where available, MuteCast compares locally transcribed audio with the publisher's transcript. Extra spoken passages can provide evidence of inserted ads, but transcript differences alone are not a guarantee. Show notes and explicitly linked Linktree sponsor profiles provide additional context. Access needs a network connection. A sponsor name alone is insufficient; the spoken passage needs matching commercial evidence. Your transcript is not sent to these pages.
The timeline shows detected segments and confidence. Skip History records automatic skips with reasons and lets you return to the original position later. Review the transcript and correct a label; corrections inform future analysis for that podcast. Search available transcripts across your library, jump to a match and share text quotes. Browse playlists, artists, albums and songs in your Apple Music library. Use a full-screen player with artwork, position control, previous/next, visible queue, shuffle and repeat. Search and choose list sorting; pin playlists for Watch and CarPlay. Music and podcasts have separate playback positions. Music access depends on your library and Apple permissions; some content requires an Apple Music subscription. Analysis happens on your device. No MuteCast account, analytics, tracking SDKs, server-side analysis or in-app ads. Automatic skips require detection, Auto-Skip and the matching category to be enabled for this podcast. Self-promotion and donation calls are separate categories. A manual mark can jump immediately; it does not enable that category for later automatic skips. Review the source and explanation when a marker does not trigger a jump.
