## What is Halfleaf?

Halfleaf is an offline-first app for reading and listening. Import your own EPUB, TXT, or Markdown files and move between the page and spoken audio.

Read your own books
Adjust your reading style and use the table of contents, bookmarks, and annotations. Halfleaf does not include a bookstore or provide book sources.

Listen with local voices
Apple system voices are available as a basic feature. On supported devices, Pro adds local neural voices, offline audio generation, and custom voices. Some voice models require a download. Available features depend on your device hardware and installed resources; high-quality voices generate audio in advance.

Let your devices share the work
An eligible Mac can act as a workbench and receive generation tasks from your other devices. Generated audio can sync through your own private iCloud storage and be retrieved on another device. Cross-device features require the relevant iCloud settings, a network connection, and valid access to those features. Downloaded audio can be played offline.

Choose Pro when you need it
Basic reading and Apple system voices are free. You can actively claim a 14-day Pro trial through Apple or make a one-time purchase of lifetime Pro. The trial is not a subscription and does not renew or charge automatically. Your books and existing audio remain after the trial ends.

Your content stays on your devices and in your private iCloud
No ads, behavioral analytics, or automatic log uploads. Books, text, and voice content are not sent to developer-operated servers for processing.

Available on iPhone, iPad, and Apple silicon Macs that support iPad apps. Import DRM-free files you have the right to use. For custom voices, use your own voice or a voice you have permission to use.
