QallosFree podcast player for iPhone and iPad
The podcast player where you can actually search.
Search every episode, not just every show. Narrow by length, date, topic and what you have already played, then press play. No ads, no subscription.
Spotify is built for music. Podcasts deserve their own search.
Music apps are great at playlists and repeat. But try finding a short episode you have not heard, from a show you follow, and you end up scrolling a show page. Qallos starts from the question you actually have.
Elsewhere
Open the show. Scroll. Scroll more. Wonder if you have heard this one.
Qallos
Pick a topic. Tap Unplayed and Short. Press play.
How search works
From “something short about science” to playing, in three taps

Questions Qallos can answer
Real ways people hunt for something to listen to, each one a few taps.

Category: Science · Length: Under 30 min · Play status: Unplayed.
“Something to fill my commute”

“The episode where they talked about sleep”
Type “sleep”, or use the Spoken tab to search what was said.
Search that goes deeper
- Search what was said. The Spoken tab looks inside episode transcripts, not just titles and descriptions.
- Save a filter. Found a combination you use every week? Save it and open it in one tap.
- Search while you type. Results appear from the second letter, with the keyboard still up.
Shows and episodes, together
One search returns the shows that match and the individual episodes inside them, with counts for each. Search your own followed shows, or open Explore to search millions of podcasts you do not follow yet and follow with one tap.
