How Thrumm skips ads

Creators' numbers are untouched.
Every episode downloads in full, exactly as published, so your favorite show gets the same download credit it would from any other app.
The file is never modified.
No stripped audio, no re-hosted feeds. Skipping is a playback behavior, the same one your thumb performs.
You decide what gets skipped.
Review every detection, veto it, or fix its boundaries. Seek back into anything you missed.
Ad skipping is free, for everyone, forever.
No subscription, no credits.
Detection is private.
Analysis runs on your device and on Apple's Private Cloud Compute. No server of ours ever sees episode audio or transcripts.
