If you listen to podcasts you will already know that there are plenty of choices out there for the iPhone and iPad. One thing I like is one app on multiple devices and I have found that Overcast is second to none for podcasts. Overcast already works on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. The only thing Overcast does not offer is native Mac app.

Overcast in the menu bar

In the past, I covered a third-party Overcast Mac app which is good however it is always in the menu bar with no options for smart speed etc.

Overcast Mac App

Thankfully Erik Thorelli has made a version of overcast for the Mac. The app allows smart speed and syncs your playback position across devices. The interface for this version is not the most beautiful design but works well if you want something familiar.

Overcast using marzipanify

Steven stroughton-smith has given us all hope of a more beautiful looking fully fleged Mac App. Steven took the overcast app and used Marzipanify similar to Marzipan that Apple is introducing and turned the iOS app into a Mac app which works amazingly.

What is more inpressive is Steven did not use an early version of Marzipan from Apple but rather a tool he built himself and called marzipanify, Steven built this tool to get started with UIKit on the Mac early, and start the initial bringup of your iOS app on macOS. The process for this tool is unbeliveable and you can read the full article on this tool here. Whilst this tool is not out yet, we can hope that once ios 13 and MacOS 10.15 is out that Marco and Steven will join forces to make this app a reality.
