## What is EarMemo?

EarMemo is a local-first audio player for iPhone and iPad, built for long-form audio you already own: audiobooks, lectures, courses, downloaded podcasts, and MP3 or M4B files.

Listen and take notes at the same time. Bookmarks and notes are anchored to exact timestamps — tap one to jump straight back to that moment. Export your notes as plain Markdown. No account or cloud required. Your audio and notes stay on your device.

Listen at your own pace. Mark the moments worth keeping. Even if you remove the original audio later, your notes can remain — because what you took away matters more than the file.

### 5/5 — 目前市面上最好用的听书软件

*2026-10-11*

这个软件简洁有美感，而且最关键的是它解决了听书的核心痛点：随时简单地 bookmark ，回顾界面的交互也很简洁。

如果你还在找一款可以走路运动戴着耳机时，不掏出手机也可以随时做笔记和回听的软件，我没有找到比这更合适的了。

其他的要用到 AI 的花哨功能，我觉得并不是每个人都有需求，而且长达 10 个小时的有声书不适合转录和进行AI处理。

### 5/5 — Great product！

*2026-09-06*

I love it! Being able to mark timestamps and add notes is especially useful — sooo convenient!

### 5/5 — 目前最好用的本地音频播放器

*2026-09-05*

目前最好用的本地音频播放器，而且还可以打关键帧，尤其是锁屏界面也可以，听到重要的音频，直接打上记号。

### 3/5 — 还可以吧

*2026-08-07*

AI 推荐的 apps，WiFi 传文件的时候不能一次过传太多，不然会中断。其他还 ok。

**Developer response:** 更新：1.2 已经上线，这个问题修好了。

谢谢反馈，之前只要其中任意一个文件的连接抖一下，整个文件夹就会被判定失败，连已经传好的那些也一起作废——文件越多越容易中招。这确实是是我们的设计问题。现在单个文件断了只会自动重传它自己，其余文件照常继续。

更新到 1.2 即可。其他问题欢迎写信到 earmemo@outlook.com。
