A podcast player that only shows the latest episode from each show you subscribe to.
Download on the App StoreLattercast is opinionated by design. We removed features on purpose — and it's better this way.
Each show surfaces one episode — always the freshest. When a new one drops, it replaces the old one. No backlog. No playlist management. No guilt.
Swipe up and down to move between shows. The app opens ready to play. Player-first design means zero taps to audio.
Background refresh keeps episodes current. Offline downloads for when you're underground. It just works.
Built for iOS 18+. Native SwiftUI. No ads, no tracking, no algorithmic recommendations. Just your shows, always current.
