## What is TaleReady?

Your audiobooks should go where you do.

TaleReady is a private audiobook player for DRM-free audio files you already own. Import a folder, choose MP3 or M4A files, or open a chaptered M4B. TaleReady keeps each book organized and remembers exactly where you stopped.

LISTEN COMFORTABLY ON IPHONE

• Browse and search books, authors, and chapters
• Arrange files into one audiobook and reorder chapters
• Adjust playback speed
• Add bookmarks and mark chapters as played
• Fall asleep with Sleep Timer and find your place again
• Hear the start of a sentence after a longer pause with Smart Resume
• Make speech clearer with optional Voice Boost
• Continue from the Lock Screen, AirPods, or CarPlay

LEAVE YOUR IPHONE BEHIND

Choose how much of your book to prepare for Apple Watch—from a custom listening window to the whole book. TaleReady counts only audio the watch has received and verified as playable, so the time shown as ready is the time actually available offline.

Play prepared chapters directly on Apple Watch during a walk, run, workout, or commute. Your listening position and played chapters stay aligned when you return to iPhone. Apple Watch can also control playback on a nearby iPhone.

FREE CORE. ONE OPTIONAL UPGRADE.

Import and listen without limits. Manual one-hour Apple Watch preparation is free. TaleReady Pro is a single lifetime purchase that adds larger Watch windows, Always Ready, and automatic cleanup. No subscription.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account. No ads. No tracking or analytics. Your imported audio, listening history, and bookmarks stay on your devices.
