About PodSync

PodSync is an open-source, self-hosted tool that converts content from YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and Twitch channels, playlists, or user uploads into standard podcast feeds. It enables users to access this content through podcast applications, which offer features like offline listening, cross-device sync, and automatic episode downloads that are not available on the original video and audio platforms.

The tool is designed for users who prefer to consume media from these platforms via their preferred podcast client, as well as for those who want to run their own instance of a feed conversion service. It requires minimal setup for users with existing API access to supported platforms, and offers extensive configuration options for feed behavior and deployment.
