Commenter says it's a fork of antennapod like podcini is. I've tried podcini but wasn't fond of the interface changes and went back to antennapod. Wish the github page would list what makes focus different from antennapod.

i was trying podcini too for those podcasts that block antennapod➜orbot connections. podcini's glitches and the skip forward button that's lacking from the lock screen notification made me search some other alternative

focus works better than podcini but antenna is still the best

From what I can see on the F-Droid description, Focus connects to iTunes, presumably in addition to the same places Antenna does, for podcast search indexing

yes, iTunes was the first connection it tried that was blocked by netGuard

in antennapod you choose which service to use for podcast indexing from the "add podcast" drawer, focus uses iTunes by default (that can be modified in settings to fyyd or podcast index)
