Overcast: Mark as Played Extension

If you've ever found yourself bouncing between podcast apps, your Overcast.fm history might be suggesting podcast episodes you've already heard.

This extension adds a \"Mark as Played\" button on the Overcast.fm site, making it easy to check-off the episodes you've already enjoyed.

Please note that this extension is in no way affiliated with Overcast or its owner; I'm simply a fan of (and premium subscriber to) the platform.
