## What is Oughtyo?

Meet Oughtyo, the audio player designed for people who want empower their listening experience. Whether you are a power-listener of audiobooks, a student reviewing lectures, or an audiophile with a massive library of files, Oughtyo is built for you.

(Oughtyo....ought-e-o...audio...okay, we'll show ourselves out)

YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED
Oughtyo works seamlessly with the Files app. Import your files from iCloud Drive or your device storage with a single tap.
 - Play almost anything—MP3, M4A, M4B, AAC, WAV, AIFF, and more.
 - Oughtyo copies your files to its local storage, ensuring your original files remain untouched and safe.
 - Rename, reorder, and even give your library a custom name to make Oughtyo truly yours.

POWERFUL PLAYBACK TOOLS
Go beyond "Play" and "Pause." Oughtyo offers tools to help you get through your content faster and more efficiently.
 - Turn on Shorten Silence to intelligently compress silences and pauses. Shorten dead air while keeping speech sounding natural and fluid.
 - Oughtyo’s playback progress bar doesn't just show you how many minutes are left in the file—it calculates the estimated time remaining based on your current playback speed.
 - Set a specific speed for a lecture and a different one for a book. Oughtyo remembers your preference for every single file, with per-file speed controls.

REVOLUTIONARY BOOKMARKING
Oughtyo transforms bookmarks from simple timestamps into powerful tools.
 - When you create a bookmark, Oughtyo generates a short transcript of the surrounding audio so you can remember exactly why that moment mattered. (iOS 26 is required for transcription)
 - Export your bookmarks, notes, and transcripts as a .txt file. It’s the perfect tool for book clubs, study groups, or highlighting your favorite quotes.

COLLECTIONS & CHAPTERS
Stop scrolling through endless lists.
 - Bundle multi-part audiobooks or lectures into "invisible playlists" called Collections. Condense dozens of files into a single, clean library entry.
 - If your file has chapters, Oughtyo reveals them with a beautiful artwork rotation. Skip between segments with ease.

BUILT FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE
 - Fall asleep to your favorite audio with timers for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or the end of the current chapter.
 - Keep listening while you multitask or when your device is locked.
 - Your files stay on your device. No ads. No intrusive permission pop-ups.

LIFETIME PURCHASE
Oughtyo is a one-time, lifetime purchase. It will never have additional features locked behind a paywall, such as a "Pro" subscription. It's the way we think it ought to be, yo.
