About the Podcast App

Earwave is a podcast app UI design template built around a "Midnight Broadcast" aesthetic: a near-black charcoal base, warm bone-white text, and a clay-coral accent reserved for the playing state, waveform, and play button. Surfaces stack as tonal bands rather than hard cards, square cover tiles float with a subtle warm glow, and a dim sage tone marks secondary tags, so every screen feels like a radio booth glowing in the dark.

The template ships six connected screens that form a full listening flow: a personalised Listen Now home, a show detail page with subscribe and episode tabs, a Now Playing screen with an animated coral waveform scrubber, an episode notes view with timestamped chapters, a search screen with topic chips and a cover grid, and a library that tracks your queue, downloads, and history. A persistent floating mini-player capsule sits above an icon-only nav rail, and the waveform ribbon recurs as the player progress and scrubber.

Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the flows your product needs. Then export to code, copy into Figma with no plugin, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it for real, far faster than starting from a blank canvas.

Screens included

Listen Now

A personalised home greeting ("Tonight, Sam") over a large featured episode hero with a clay play button, followed by a Continue Learning row with progress bars and a persistent mini-player capsule. The browse-and-resume entry point.

Show Detail

A full-bleed neon cover backdrop with the show title, host name, a coral subscribe button, and tabs for Episodes, Curriculum, and Community. Each episode row shows its number, date, duration, and download control.

Now Playing

Crisp square cover art centered above an animated coral waveform scrubber with tabular timestamps, plus skip and play controls and a sleep-timer option. The signature playback experience.

Episode Notes

A scrollable Insights view with core lessons, actionable timestamped chapter links, and an expert-guest card with portrait and role. Helps listeners jump to the part they want.

Search

A topics search bar over interest chips like Startups, Psychology, and Coding, with a Browse Topics grid of photographic cover tiles. The discovery surface for new shows.

Library

A "Your Growth" library with Curated, Downloads, and Shows tabs, a learning queue with progress and delete controls, and quick access to Favorites and History. Manages everything the listener has saved.

Questions, answered. Everything to know before you start.

How do I build a podcast app from this template?

Click "Use this template" to open it in Sleek as your own editable project, then shape it by describing the changes you want: restyle the palette, edit any screen, and add the flows your app needs. You start from six complete screens instead of a blank canvas, so you reach a working podcast app UI far faster.

What screens are included in this podcast app UI design?

Six connected screens: Listen Now (home), Show Detail, Now Playing, Episode Notes, Search, and Library. Together they cover the core flow of a real podcast app, from discovering shows to playing episodes and managing a queue.

Can I customize the podcast app UI design?

Yes. Use the template in Sleek and edit any screen by chatting with the AI: restyle the clay-coral accent, change layouts, and add or remove flows. There's no manual redraw; you describe the change and it's applied.

Is this podcast app design template free to use?

You can open and explore the design for free, then use it in your own Sleek project to build on it. Editing and exporting follow Sleek's standard plans.

Can I export the design to code or Figma?

Yes. Sleek exports your design as code, copies straight into Figma with no plugin, or hands you a ready-made prompt that an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor can use to build it into a real, working app.

Can this template work for an audio learning or self-improvement app?

Absolutely. The screens already lean into a learning angle with curated queues, episode notes, and topic discovery, so they map cleanly onto audio courses, knowledge shows, or coaching apps. Adjust the content and categories to fit your niche.
