About podgrab
Podgrab is a self-hosted, open-source podcast manager and archiver. It is built with Go and runs on your own server, typically as a Docker container. It automatically checks for and downloads new podcast episodes as they become available.
You can add podcasts by direct RSS feed URL, OPML import, or search using the built-in iTunes search. Episodes can be auto-downloaded, downloaded on demand, or archived as complete podcasts. Files can be organized with tags, with customizable episode names and detection to avoid re-downloading existing files. An integrated player lets you play downloaded files or stream from the original source, including single episodes, full podcasts, or tagged groups. It also supports basic authentication, OPML export, and dark mode.
Podgrab suits listeners who want local copies of episodes and prefer to manage podcasts on self-hosted infrastructure.
