TECHNICAL YourPods is open source. No advertising identifiers. No third-party analytics. The Privacy Manifest declares exactly what data is collected — and in Vault Mode; the answer is nothing.

They're stored locally along with credentials and not sync'd to any server. • Sync Backend: Optimized for the gpodder sync (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/gpoddersync) Nextcloud app. Standard `gpodder` services may work but are not the primary focus and are untested. • Protocol: Implements the Open Podcast Sync protocol for subscriptions (`SubscriptionDelta`) and actions (`EpisodeAction`). • Architecture: Built with `provider` for state management and `just_audio` for robust playback. • Platform Integration: Native integrations for CarPlay (Swift); WatchOS (SwiftUI); and iOS Live Activities. • Podcast 2.0: supporting many features today; we're continually expanding compatibility for Podcast ecosystem.
