PinePods is a complete, self-hosted podcast management system that lets you play, download, and keep track of podcasts you enjoy — all on your own server. Built with a modern Rust frontend (Yew) and Python/FastAPI backend, PinePods delivers a fast and responsive experience across platforms.
Unlike proprietary podcast apps that lock you into their ecosystems, PinePods gives you full ownership of your listening data and subscriptions. It supports multiple databases (PostgreSQL, MariaDB/MySQL) and offers a clean web interface for managing your podcast library.
PinePods is a great open-source alternative to closed-source podcast clients like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and Overcast, especially for users who value privacy, self-hosting, and control over their media consumption.
