≈ Podlaps

Your phone stays in the locker

The one hour nothing can reach you. Podlaps loads your Shokz before you leave — every show you follow, every cue you train to. Plug in, press Update, go.

One show free, forever — not a trial. Works with OpenSwim, OpenSwim Pro and SWIM PRO.

Podlaps showing four followed podcasts with episode counts, and the workout pills along the top - split, levelled, tighten, session, cues and cadence

Small app, one job, done properly

It sits in the corner of your screen and asks nothing of you.

Swim. Run. Ride. Loaded.

In the pool

A voice says “halfway” when you are. A beep marks the intervals. Episodes measured to fit before you left.

On the run

A 180-a-minute tick to lock your stride to, with the dead air tightened out.

On the bike

Open ears for the road, a full queue for the trainer, every episode levelled against the wind.

Next: describe a session and hear it as coaching inside your own shows. Nothing streams down there — that constraint is the product.

Always something new, never out of room

The headphones only hold a few hours, so Podlaps adds the newest episode and clears out the one it replaces. You stop thinking about space, and you'll never swim to last week's news again.

Checked before you get in

Podlaps reads every file back off the headphones and checks it against the original, so a bad copy shows up at your desk — not at the deep end.

No account. No cloud. No tracking.

There's nothing to sign up for and nothing gets uploaded, ever. Podlaps talks to the podcasts you follow, and to nobody else.

Built by someone who counts lengths

Split a long episode into chunks, so the skip button works like a seek. Even out the volume, so the splashing can't drown a quiet interview. Fill exactly 45 minutes, get an interval beep every five, and hear “halfway” when you are. None of this exists in a podcast app, because no podcast app has ever been underwater.
