Volpi is the audio-story app for families who want more than a play button. Remember when someone told you a bedtime story in THEIR voice? Volpi lets you create a personalized narrator voice — yours, Dad's, Mom's or Grandma's — from a short recording, and turn the stories your child loves into stories told in that voice. What you can do with Volpi: • Listen to a curated library of children's classics (Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, Snow White, fables and more) adapted for ages 2 to 8. • Create a personalized voice from about 30 seconds of recording, always with the explicit consent of the family member who lends their voice. • Have your favorite stories narrated with your custom voice, or enjoy the whole catalog with Volpi's default narrators. • Stories available in Spanish and English. • Bedtime: dedicated playlists that ease children into sleep without jarring sound cues. • At home or in the car: Bluetooth speakers, AirPlay and Chromecast supported. Built for families: • No in-app purchases and no surprise charges — nothing is ever billed through your App Store account. Volpi requires a subscription, which cannot be purchased in the app. • No third-party advertising and no recommendation engine outside the curated catalog. • No commercial profiling of your children and no targeted advertising: just stories. • Clear privacy policy, built to comply with European (GDPR-K) and US (COPPA) regulations. Volpi is made in Spain by a small team that believes stories are shared time. If you have questions, feedback, or simply want to tell us that grandma has been rehearsing her voice recordings for two weeks, reach out at contact@volpistudios.com.

Most flashcard apps make you choose: a good algorithm buried in an interface from 2009, or something pretty that doesn't use any special techniques. Avorio is an attempt to not make you choose. Under the hood it runs FSRS-5, the scheduling algorithm most serious memory nerds have switched to. In plain terms: it figures out roughly when you're about to forget a card and shows it to you right before that happens. You review less and remember more. That's the whole point of spaced repetition, and Avorio just does it well. It also works without a signal. The whole app runs offline, so a flight or a dead-zone train ride is study time, not lost time. If you want your decks on more than one device, there's sync — completely optional, and off by default. Nothing forces you to make an account. Making cards is usually the part people quit over, so there's AI for that. Paste your notes or a paragraph, and it'll turn them into proper cards you can actually study. Stuck on one? Ask it to explain. The on-device model keeps your stuff private; bigger cloud models are there if you want them. Already deep in Anki? Bring your .apkg files over, scheduling history included. You can also pull cards out of PDFs, Markdown, and Word docs. The cards themselves aren't just front-and-back text: - Cloze deletions for fill-in-the-blank - Image occlusion for diagrams, maps, and anatomy - Real LaTeX for math and physics - Syntax highlighting for code And because it's built natively for Mac and iPhone rather than wrapped-up web, it opens fast and doesn't chew through your battery. There's a lighter side too. You keep a daily streak, earn XP, spend it in a small shop, and a mascot reacts to how you're doing. None of it gets in the way — it's just there to make opening the app a habit instead of a chore. Share a deck with a friend using a single code, or grab a ready-made starter deck if you don't want to build from scratch. If you like tinkering, there's a sandboxed plugin system to extend things. It's a good fit if you're: - Studying for exams, or trying to keep something in your head for years - Learning a language and tired of forgetting vocab - In med school, law, or anything memorization-heavy - A developer drilling syntax and patterns - Just someone who hates relearning things they already learned Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.avorio.ai/legal/eula Privacy Policy: https://www.avorio.ai/legal/privacy
