## 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 HTML description (selectable for copy/paste), 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.
|
||
|
||
### 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.
|
||
- Available once you've saved a premium access URL in **Settings**.
|
||
|
||
### Books
|
||
- Browse the full catalog of Stefan Molyneux's books — *The Present*, *The Future*, *Peaceful Parenting*, *Essential Philosophy*, and many more.
|
||
- Listen to built-in audiobook editions right in the app, with the same mini player, full player, downloads, and resume-position support as podcasts.
|
||
- Each book links out to its website, print/eBook/PDF editions, and translations.
|
||
|
||
### Playlists
|
||
- Browse curated episode playlists pulled live from the Freedomain catalog.
|
||
- Tap a playlist to see its episodes, then play or download them just like the main feed.
|
||
|
||
### Premium Playlists
|
||
- Premium subscribers get an extra set of curated playlists. Available once your premium access URL is added in **Settings**.
|
||
- Episodes play and download exactly like the rest of the app.
|
||
|
||
### Socials
|
||
- A dedicated **Socials** section lists every platform Freedomain is on — YouTube, X, Rumble, BitChute, Odysee, Locals, Telegram, Substack, and more,
|
||
- Tap a card to open the platform in your browser.
|
||
|
||
### 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.
