Up Next is a modern, open source podcast client built with one clear mission: keep podcasting free, open, and independent.
Unlike many other apps, Up Next works completely on your device. There’s no hidden server in the background, no data collection, and no locked features. Just a simple, powerful podcast experience designed for listeners.
Why Up Next?
For over 20 years, podcasting has thrived as a free medium—created by independent voices, shared through open standards, and supported by the community. Up Next continues that tradition by offering a podcast player that puts you in control.
