A macOS app that rescues podcast downloads from Apple's cryptic storage, renaming files with human-readable episode titles.
Apple Podcasts stores downloaded episodes with cryptic filenames in obscure directories. Good luck finding that interview you wanted to share:
Reads Apple's podcast SQLite database to extract episode metadata - titles, show names, dates.
Generates clean, readable filenames from podcast and episode titles with proper sanitization.
Maintains a local database of transferred episodes to avoid copying the same files twice.
Process multiple episodes at once - export an entire show or your complete library.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and occasionally want to share an episode or save it outside Apple's ecosystem. Apple makes this surprisingly difficult - the files exist on your machine, but they're buried in obscure directories with meaningless names. This tool scratches my own itch: find the files, give them real names, put them somewhere useful.
