Did you know only 2% of users actually read App Store descriptions? We’re happy you’re one of the rare two percenters giving Chameleon a shot.

There are a few things that Chameleon does differently.
1. Chameleon splits up an episode’s audio into 15-second chunks. These chunks are placed in a looooong vertical list that you can navigate in.
2. You can annotate at any of these 15-second chunks. Annotations can be for yourself or to a friend. When you send a friend an annotation, they receive this episode on their Chameleon app.
3. Chameleon keeps track of the chunks you listen to and visualizes which chunks you’ve already listened to.
4. Everything is saved in the cloud so if you have two phones then podcast progress in one phone show up in the other.


Chameleon can help you with…

- Sharing and discussing podcasts you listen to with your friends. You can annotate episodes at specific timestamps to send to your friends. They can listen to the episode you sent them and respond to your annotations with their thoughts.

- Writing notes for yourself while you listen to your favorite episodes. Capture all of your insights while listening so that you can look back later on what you learned.

- Researching and saving notes on podcasts for with your coworker. Maybe you’re a podcaster or you do research on topics talked about in podcasts. You can share notes with your coworker on ideas and information you get from podcasts.

- Staying in sync with your startup co-founder. We’ve found lot’s of great content for advice and tips for starting a business in podcasts like Masters of Scale, Y Combinator, or The Indie Hackers Podcast. We found it helpful to always be up to date on each others thoughts and insights from podcast interviews.
