What is it?

PodFetch is a self-hosted podcast manager. It runs as a web app where you subscribe to podcasts, download episodes and listen to them in the browser. The backend is written in Rust and the frontend uses React.

The project includes a GPodder integration, so you can keep using an existing podcast app while PodFetch handles storage and playback. It supports Podcasting 2.0 transcripts with full-text search across episode content, and can generate missing transcripts through any OpenAI-compatible Whisper API.

A Docker image is published to Docker Hub on each push to the main branch, and the project suggests using a tool like Watchtower to keep the container updated. Documentation with a UI preview is hosted on GitHub Pages.
