Doughnut

Podcast app. For Mac.

brew install --cask doughnut

Doughnut is a podcast client built using Swift. The design and user experience are inspired by Instacast for Mac which was discontinued in 2015. After experimenting with alternate user interface layouts, I kept coming back to the three column layout as most useable and practical.

Beyond the standard expected podcast app features, my goals for the project are:

• Support an iTunes style library that can be hosted on an internal or network shared drive
• Ability to favourite episodes
• Ability to create podcasts without a feed, for miscellaneous releases of discontinued podcasts

Previously Doughnut was built on top of Electron which worked ok, but using 200+ MB for a podcast app, even when it's minimized felt very poor. Doughnut is now written as a 100% native MacOS app in Swift.

How to Contribute

Local Environments

• Xcode 12.2+, latest stable release is recommended, but not required.

• Install SwiftLint.

  brew install swiftlint

Get the code

git clone git@github.com:dyerc/Doughnut.git
cd Doughnut
open Doughnut.xcodeproj

Building

• Debug configuration can be directly built once Xcode finishes fetching all the packages.

• To build for Release configuration, update the code signing configurations in Configs/DoughnutCodeSigning-Release.xcconfig to desired values, or switch to the ad-hoc configurations within Configs/Doughnut-Release.xcconfig.
