Overcast for Mac (unofficial)

Unofficial Overcast for Mac is simply the Overcast website wrapped within Electron, restyled so it feels a bit more native to the desktop.

Some interface elements are disabled on purpose because they serve little purpose to me, mostly because I use Overcast for iOS for most management and listening, and prefer the mac app to be a nice looking read-only (for now).

Potential Issues

Since it's just a restyled website, it's prone to potential issues if Marco updates some part of the interface – although should be relatively easy to fix.

  • Dock and menubar icons

  • Fully restyled interface
