Local files

PodNotes supports local files. You can right-click any audio file and click Play with PodNotes.

In the podcast grid, you will see a playlist with a folder icon. This is a playlist of every episode you have available offline: both local audio files you have played with Play with PodNotes and episodes you have downloaded. Removing a downloaded file also removes it from this playlist.

PodNotes will attempt to treat all local files as podcast episodes. This means all standard features are available, such as timestamps, note creation, and persisting playback time. Any exceptions will be added here.

Local files and downloaded episodes are played through Obsidian's native media resource path (the same mechanism Obsidian uses for embedded media), so they work on mobile (iOS and Android) as well as desktop.
