Put Yourself Back
in The Captain's Chair
Ads interrupt your listening and for some they ruin all concentration. You may not want constant exposure to marketing ploys. Most podcast apps give you no control or even inject more ads into their interface. You should control what you hear and see on your device.
Creators & Sponsors are
The Winds in The Sails
Skipper detects ads in real time using on-device machine learning. Instead of interrupting you, ads are converted into visual sponsor cards with brand names, offers, and promo codes. Support sponsors and creators on your terms.
Skipper also supports Podcasting 2.0's funding tag which displays a link to a creator's funding page on every episode.
Support creators by patronizing sponsors via the sponsor tabs or directly fund creators via their link.
