Settings let you tune PolyPod to match your listening style.

Profile → Settings (from any screen’s header)

Choose how many seconds the seek buttons skip:

  • Options: 15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds
  • Default: 30 seconds for both forward and backward
  • Adjust based on your listening speed and preferred control style

Toggle whether PolyPod automatically plays the next episode when your queue finishes:

  • Enabled: When your queue ends, PolyPod picks a smart next episode from the same podcast or your recent listening
  • Disabled: Playback stops when the queue finishes — you choose what’s next manually

See How auto-continue chooses the next episode for the full logic.

Enable cloud sync to keep your listening history, progress, and preferences synchronized across all your devices:

  • Status indicator: Shows whether sync is active or data is local-only
  • Premium requirement: Cloud sync requires an active Premium subscription

Toggle notifications to remind you about your daily listening goals:

  • Choose your preferred reminder time
  • Notifications respect your device’s system settings
  • You can always disable reminders from Settings
  • Playback speed: Change from the full-screen player (not in Settings)
  • Sleep timer: Access from the full-screen player
  • Language goals: Profile → Languages
