OpenAir

What OpenAir is

OpenAir is a free, open-source app for discovering and listening to podcasts across Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. It supports podcast RSS feeds and OPML import, along with subscription management, custom playlists, and listening progress tracking. Episodes can be downloaded for offline listening, and auto-download can refresh the queue. Chapter navigation lets listeners move to specific sections. Discovery uses the PodcastIndex API and can also use the Fyyd API. On desktop, browsing, searching, subscribing, streaming, and downloading are available, but sign-in and cloud sync are not. App data is stored locally by default, and the privacy policy says personal information is not collected without explicit consent. Users may opt into Firebase cloud sync, which can store account details, subscriptions, listening history, queue, favorites, playback positions, and settings. Network communications use TLS/HTTPS, while locally stored data is not encrypted at rest. Google Play lists no data collected or shared, as declared by the developer. For support, the project directs users to open an issue on GitHub.
