Features
Built to subtract
Everything below exists to do one thing: subtract what's between you and the show you pressed play on.
Subtract the ads
AI episode segmentation
Every episode is automatically split into its real parts — intro, topics, ad breaks, outro — using transcript analysis and audio fingerprinting. Segmentation is the engine everything else runs on.
Ad skipping
Detected ad segments skip automatically — including dynamically inserted ads, which move between listens and defeat simple timestamp lists. You hear a clean splice, not a jump.
Smart segment skip
Skip forward to the next segment or back to the previous one with a single tap, instead of guessing at 30-second hops.
Topic blocking
Tell Subtrackt what you never want to hear about. Segments on blocked topics are flagged so you can skip — or never even start them.
Sound, handled
Shower Mode
A one-tap profile that regulates volume and EQ so spoken voices stay intelligible over running water and room echo.
Per-device EQ memory
Your car, your earbuds, and your kitchen speaker all sound different. Subtrackt remembers a custom EQ for each Bluetooth device and switches automatically.
Ear Guard
Set a volume ceiling per output — plus an after-idle limit, so resuming hours later never blasts you at last night's volume.
Find and follow
Just ask — voice & in-app AI
Natural-language control on Android, on-device, built on Google's latest Gemini framework: "play the latest episode of…", "skip this sponsor". Hands stay on the wheel.
AI search
Search across your shows by meaning, not just titles — find the episode where they actually discussed the thing.
Follow-along transcripts
Synchronized transcripts that highlight as the audio plays — built for accessibility, great for everyone.
Predictions and custom mixes
Subtrackt learns what you reach for and queues it up — and you can build custom mixes that pull segments across episodes and shows.
Support the show
Sponsors & promo codes, searchable
On the roadmapSkipping ads shouldn't mean creators lose your support. Subtrackt collects each show's sponsors and promo codes into one easy, searchable place — so backing your favorite podcasters is a tap, not a scavenger hunt through ad reads you skipped.
Even the business model subtracts
What Subtrackt won't do
No ads in the app
You pay $6, not your attention. Subtrackt has no banner ads, no injected audio ads, no "watch this to unlock." Skipping ads and then showing you ads would be a strange way to run a company.
No selling your info for marketing
We don't sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers — not for marketing, not dressed up as "anonymized" data that traces back to you. Your listening is yours.
No third-party trackers
No advertising or analytics SDKs riding along in the app, quietly building a profile of you. The app does its job and minds its business.
