Podgrab is a lightweight, self-hosted podcast manager and downloader built with Go. It automatically downloads new podcast episodes as soon as they become available, making it ideal for archiving your favorite shows or syncing episodes to offline devices.

The application includes a built-in podcast player that lets you play downloaded files or stream directly from the original source. You can organize podcasts with custom tags and labels, discover new shows via the iTunes search integration, and add feeds through direct RSS URLs or OPML import/export. Other features include on-demand downloading, basic authentication, customizable episode file names, dark mode, and existing file detection to prevent re-downloading.

Podgrab runs easily as a Docker container and stores data in SQLite, keeping the setup simple and lightweight.
