Ads, intros, and sponsor reads
Get streamlined playback without hunting for the “30 seconds forward” button.
Feature story
Open podcasting, with a more intelligent listening layer.
PureStream is a premium podcast player first — open feeds, a polished queue, downloads — and adds a private intelligence layer, Spectra, that helps you find and enjoy what to hear next.
PureStream Air is live on the web today. Android and iOS remain in release validation. Check current platform availability.
What you get on day one
A complete podcast app, not a preview.
Bring your library
Subscribe by RSS, import OPML, or add direct feeds. An account is optional, so PureStream is safe to try from the first tap. See how open podcasting and portability work.
Control playback
Clear queues, downloads, and saved listening state, plus Trim Silence, Volume Boost, adjustable speed, and a sleep timer.
Discover with context
Spectra recommends shows and episodes by mood, activity, topic, time available, language, and similarity. Read the discovery privacy details.
Know before you commit
Trailers, summaries, metadata, and transparent “why this” explanations help you decide what earns your time.
Keep it private
Local-first listening: your library, downloads, and playback position stay on your device. Optional sync will follow when account access opens. Check current account availability.
Sync by choice
When account access opens, turn on sync when you want subscriptions and listening state to follow you across devices — never as a gate. Check account status.
Streamlined listening
Smart Segments skip the parts you came to skip.
Smart Segments detect intros, ads, and sponsor reads and can skip them automatically, so you get to the content faster. It works on your device by default; the shared segment service is opt-in and clearly disclosed.
Private by default
On-device analysis never uploads your audio. Shared segment lookups only happen if you opt in.
Consent you can see
A first-run choice explains exactly what, if anything, is shared — and you can change it any time. See what a shared lookup sends.
A real podcast app first
Spectra makes PureStream smarter. It does not replace the fundamentals.
RSS subscriptions
Subscribe directly to open feeds.
OPML import/export
Bring your library. Leave whenever you want.
Queue / Up Next
Plan what plays next without friction.
Downloads / offline

Trim Silence & Volume Boost
Tighten dead air and lift quiet voices, with adjustable speed and a sleep timer.
Dark mode
Designed for night listening, cars, walks, and low-light sessions.
Powered by Spectra
Practical intelligence, not novelty.
Spectra packages PureStream’s intelligence as practical benefits: find the right episode for the moment, understand why it fits, keep open-feed control, and continue listening privately. Discovery you can reason about beats a chart that only shows what is already popular.
Find by mood, time, or topic · transparent recommendation reasons · open RSS/OPML · optional sync when account access opens · local-first privacy.
