gpodder.net is a libre web service that allows you to manage your podcast subscriptions and discover new content. If you use multiple devices, you can synchronize subscriptions and your listening progress.
It works best with the gPodder application, but you can also use it with Amarok, other supported clients or as standalone web application without any client app.
Features
- Share your favorite content with others
- Keep track of your playback progress
- Back up your subscriptions
- Discover new content, based on your listening habits
- Create and share lists of related podcasts
- For publishers: Find out which parts of your content are popular
2025-06-23 Announcement
Dear gpodder.net users,
over the past months we have migrated gpodder.net to newer hardware, still sponsored by tornadovps.com.
With the move from hdd to ssd we have gained performance on database queries.
This was made possible by drastically reducing the DB size by archiving inactive user data. Individual archives are available for download from their user profile. It will be kept for as long as it's reasonable, at least until 2026-06-30. There is currently no way to re-activate an archived account.
Thank you for reading this, and for your continued use of the podcasting ecosystem!
For the record, work on archival started in Autumn 2024, it was announced and open for comments in February and March, and DB migration was done by June 2025. Web app was migrated shortly thereafter.
2026-09-06 Announcement
We can't keep operating gpodder.net as a free global service with the functionalities it has had in the past. This is due to storage and processing requirements for more than 100k users.
- podcast indexing broke in 2023. We kept the ability to browse subscriptions and episodes in the website, but it has very limited value for newer data.
- Inactive users have been archived, and the associated data has been purged from the database at the start of 2025. This has let us shrink the database and get faster storage from our sponsor as a consequence (see above).
- The scope has been reduced to serving as a synchronization mechanism between devices since then. The typical use-case we would like to serve is sync between gPodder on the desktop and AntennaPod on an Android device.
- Fresh data consists now mostly of URLs and technical data (not title, description, etc.) and we will likely remove the ability to browse episodes.
- This doesn't prove enough, with about 1-2GB new data to store every month. We are now investigating ways to further limit data volume
As a consequence, we would like you to understand that:
- You won't be able to use gpodder.net as a web-based podcatcher.
- Your account may be archived after 6 months of inactivity.
- Historical data may be reduced to only the latest action per episode per device or to only a few months.
- The web interface on the gpodder.net might be further reduced in scope.
self-host your data — if those limitations don't suit you, please consider self-hosting mygpo. Hopefully the installation section of the developer documentation will put you on the right track for a test deployment.
There are open PRs for Docker compose and Kubernetes support that might be a better starting point to your self-hosting.
Also, there seems to be an app called gpodder on YunoHost that might serve your self-hosting needs (totally untested and unreviewed by us).
