Overcast

July 16, 2024

A very nice and snappy new update for Overcast, out today, on the 10th anniversary of the app’s launch.

Marco Arment, writing about the updates:

Most of Overcast’s core code was 10 years old, which made it cumbersome or impossible to easily move with the times, adopt new iOS functionality, or add new features, especially as one person. […]

For Overcast to have a future, it needed a modern foundation for its second decade. I’ve spent the past 18 months rebuilding most of the app with Swift, SwiftUI, Blackbird, and modern Swift concurrency.

Such a great app. Glad it’s ready for the next decade.
