Fantastic, distraction free way of reading/listening offline

Just love using this app to help me focus on whatever I am reading. App is incredibly well designed and doesn’t have any obnoxious tracking or ads. Super small binary size too 🙌

Offline listening!

I’m finally able to go through my reading by listening to it. While on a walk, doing chores, or even commuting on the tube or while flying because it works offline!

Finally reading what I save

I save loads of things to read and then never get around to them 😅 Really like being able to listen to them when I’m walking or on the go. Been using it way more than I expected.

It helps me stay focused

Listening to the text as I read it is helping me keep the focus while reading. Specially with the word highlighting feature.
