Podgrab is a self-hosted podcast manager and downloader that automatically fetches new podcast episodes as soon as they become live, with an integrated web player. It is a lightweight Go application with an iTunes-powered podcast search, deployable via Docker.
Use cases
- download podcast episodes automatically as they are released
- archive podcast mp3 files for offline listening on a smartwatch
- self-host a personal podcast server with a web player
- search and subscribe to podcasts via iTunes
- monitor specific podcast feeds and fetch new episodes
When to choose
- you want raw mp3 files for offline playback on devices that don't run podcast apps
- you prefer self-hosted, lightweight tooling over commercial podcast apps
- you want automatic downloading of episodes from feeds you already follow
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured podcast discovery app with recommendations
- you want a mobile-first listening experience rather than a web interface
- you need active development and frequent updates, as the project appears to be in maintenance mode
