Overcast for iOS 26 is now available!
- Adopted iOS 26's native toolbar buttons everywhere
- Simplified miniplayer to fit iOS 26 style and allow faster access to the playback screen as a giant touch target. (If you want the seek buttons back, switch to Classic under Customize Home Screen!)
- Playback speeds are now offered in 0.1 increments from 0.5–3.0
- Lots of little fixes
Get it now in the App Store! (Works on iOS 18, too.)

For me, the net results of this change:
1) My current Synology will likely be my last
2) If it isn’t my last, the next one will be fewer bays. But I will endeavor to make it my last
3) As with the [slow] enshittification of eero, I’m now being pushed into Ubiquiti’s open arms from two directions.
@atpfm Back in the day, if you wanted a CRT TV or monitor to be used during filming, it had to be modified to have a 24 Hz refresh rate to prevent visible banding / scan lines. You would sometimes see reference in the credits like “24 frame playback equipment provided by…” Sync boxes were also sometimes used to coordinate the vertical blanking interval and the film shutter closure.
