Frequently Asked Questions

What are the system requirements?

Steadcast requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) and an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later). On-device transcription uses the Speech framework, and Apple Intelligence powers summaries. Both require Apple Silicon.

Is Steadcast free?

Yes. Steadcast for Mac is free on the Mac App Store. There are no subscriptions, no ads, and no account to create.

Is there an iPhone app?

Steadcast for iPhone is in public beta. It brings full transcripts, Remember This, and CarPlay to your phone, powered by the Steadcast Library. A TestFlight link will be published here when the beta opens.

Where is my data stored?

All your podcast subscriptions, episodes, playback progress, bookmarks, and notes are stored locally on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded to the cloud. See our privacy policy for full details.

How do I import podcasts from another app?

Export an OPML file from your current podcast app, then press Cmd + I in Steadcast to import it. All your subscriptions will be added and their feeds will begin refreshing immediately.

My keyboard shortcuts are not working. What should I do?

Steadcast uses global keyboard shortcuts that work even when the app is in the background. These require Accessibility permissions.

Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and make sure Steadcast is listed and enabled. You may need to remove and re-add it if permissions were previously denied.

How do I export my subscriptions?

Press Cmd + E to export your subscriptions as an OPML file. This standard format can be imported into any other podcast app.
