# Freedomain Mobile
Android-first (for now) mobile app for the Freedomain platform. Listen to the full
public catalog, stream or download episodes, audiobooks, playlists and chat with the Freedomain AI assistants — all from your phone.

## Features
### Podcasts
- **Full public catalog** — browse every Freedomain episode, newest first.
- **Instant scrolling** — the catalog is quietly cached on your device, so
paging through thousands of episodes is fast and works offline once loaded.
- **Powerful search** — search by title, description, or tags, and narrow results
with tag filters. Choose exactly which fields to match against.
- **Rich episode pages** — artwork, full description, chapters, file size, and
links to the episode on YouTube, Rumble, Substack, X, and more.
### Premium podcasts
- Unlock premium content by entering your access URL in **Settings**.
- Once unlocked, premium episodes appear in their own section and behave just
like the public catalog.
- Premium episodes stay available offline even if your access URL later expires —
you only need it again to fetch new episodes.
### Playback
- **Stream or download** any episode for offline listening.
- **Mini player** stays docked at the bottom of the app so you can keep browsing
while you listen.
- **Full-screen player** with artwork, a scrubbable seek bar, chapter navigation,
and adjustable playback speed (0.75× to 2×).
- **Resume where you left off** — the app remembers your position in every
episode, even after switching between them.
- **Background & lock-screen playback** — keep listening with the screen off, and
control playback (play/pause, skip ±30s, seek) right from the lock screen and
notification shade, complete with artwork.
### Downloads
- Download episodes to listen without using data.
- A dedicated **Downloads** screen lists everything saved on your device with
file size and download date.
- Swipe to delete, or clear all downloads at once from Settings.
### AI Chat
- Chat directly with the Freedomain AI assistants, including:
- **StefBOT** — philosophy
- **Peaceful Parenting AI**
- **Real-Time Relationships AI**
- **Bitcoin AI**
- **Call-In AI**
- Each assistant keeps its own conversation, with suggested starter questions to
get going.
### Sharing & links
- Tap a shared `fdrpodcasts.com` episode link and it opens straight to that
episode in the app.
- Share an episode from the player — optionally including your current playback
position so others can pick up at the same moment.
### Settings
- Save or update your premium access URL.
- Set a default playback speed.
- See how much storage your downloads are using and clear them.
### Look & feel
- **Light and dark mode** — automatically follows your system theme.
- Clean, simple navigation via the sidebar menu.
## Requirements
- Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer.
## Premium access
Public podcasts are free and require no login. Premium content requires an access
URL, which you enter under **Settings → Premium Access URL**. The URL changes
periodically; just update it in Settings when it does.
