Lucidcast player with AI episode summary

What sets Lucidcast apart

What mainstream podcast apps don't bother with — and what you actually want if you listen to podcasts every day.

AI Copilot

On-device Whisper transcribes the episode locally on your phone. Gemini turns it into a structured summary. Runs offline, no data sent to third parties.

Voice commands

"Podcast play / stop / skip / save" — no need to touch the phone. Works on the lock screen and in the car via Bluetooth.

Auto-download on the move

After the first 60 seconds of listening the episode quietly downloads in the background. Tunnels, weak signal, Wi-Fi/data handoff — no drop.

Smart Pause

Detects ambient noise and pauses playback intelligently. Conversation mode waits for the chat to end, then smoothly picks up where you left off.

Saved thoughts

A tap or "Podcast save" captures an interesting passage — 30/60/90 s clip + AI summary. Return to it any time in one tap.

Live radio

Thousands of stations via RadioBrowser API plus your own custom URLs. Auto-reconnect on stream drop, ICY metadata supported.

Privacy first

Your phone, your data. Lucidcast processes AI locally, doesn't need an account, and tracks no one.

What Lucidcast does NOT do

  • Doesn't create user accounts
  • Doesn't collect personal data
  • Doesn't store your listening habits on a server
  • Whisper transcription runs locally, audio never leaves the device
  • Voice commands are processed on the phone
  • No ads in the app
