SIMPLE AND CLEAN APP TO GET AUDIO SUMMARIES FROM SAVED VIDEOS AND ARTICLES No more overwhelm, stress or fear of missing out, grasp what matters through audio summaries or full reads. WHEN YOUR MIND IS FULL, BUT YOU STILL FEEL BEHIND Drowning in noise. No time, no space, no clarity. There’s never a moment just for you, but online, there’s so much you wish you had time to read. Videos and articles that could help your career, your thinking, or simply spark curiosity. YOU KEEP SAVING, BUT NEVER GET BACK TO IT Saved links pile up and start to press on you. All you want is to know: Is any of this even worth my attention? Or am I stressing over nothing. THIS MIGHT BE WHY YOU FEEL THE PRESSURE AND THAT FEAR OF FALLING BEHIND That feeling of unwatched videos and unread links can weigh on you like a burden. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You just need to catch what matters.

 THE CALMER WAY TO DEAL WITH ALL SAVED LINKS For every link you save, we create a short audio and text summary, so you can start with what matters, skip the clutter, feel caught up in minutes, and dive into the full article only if it truly grabs you. That helps quickly cut through the noise, save time, and finally feel in control of your saved content.

 SAVE ANY YOUTUBE VIDEO, ARTICLE, OR PODCAST THAT CAUGHT YOUR EYE Once saved, we skip the fluff, ads, and filler, so you can focus on the core ideas without distractions or overwhelm. HAVE A MINUTE? NO SCREEN NEEDED TO GET THE ESSENCE OF WHAT YOU SAVED Saved videos and articles turn into a listening queue, with short audio summaries that get straight to the point. It’s like having someone read you the most important parts of what you saved. LISTEN TO THE SUMMARY, OR DIVE INTO THE ORIGINAL CONTENT IF IT TRULY GRABS YOU Most things don’t need hours of watching or reading. Start with the summary, let it guide your attention and open the full content only when it’s really worth your time. STAY INFORMED WITHOUT THE OVERWHELM OR THE FEAR OF MISSING WHAT MATTERS Save time. Skip the noise. Get only the essentials in quick audio summaries. TURN CHAOS INTO CLARITY Start 7 days free. Save time. Skip the noise. Get only the essentials. Clear your watch and reading list. No more drowning in maybe-interesting. Privacy Policy: https://minivo.app/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://minivo.app/terms.html Support: https://minivo.app/support.html

About

OpenDeck

Features
Read full description

OpenDeck is a viewer for self-contained HTML *documents* ("decks"), analogous to a PDF reader or a web browser opening a local page. Decks are content the user explicitly imports (via Files, AirDrop, or the share sheet) β€” they are not code downloaded to change the app's own features, and the app ships no in-app store or remote-content fetch. Each deck renders inside a sandboxed, cross-origin iframe served from an isolated origin (a custom deck:// scheme on iOS/macOS). The sandbox withholds top-level navigation, so a deck can never replace or reach the app shell or the native bridge. The app's functionality is fixed; decks cannot alter it. (Ref: Guideline 2.5.2.) To test presenting: on first launch the app preloads a short "Welcome" deck plus three example decks (illustrative HTML presentations) β€” open any of them from the library and move through the slides by tapping the screen (iPhone/iPad), using the on-screen arrow controls or the thumbnail rail, or pressing the left/right arrow keys. To test import: ready-made .deck files are downloadable from the "Examples" section of the home page at https://open-deck.org (smallest is "What Compounding Actually Does", 0.3 MB β€” direct link: https://open-deck.org/downloads/compounding.deck). Download one on the device, then open it via the system Share sheet β†’ OpenDeck, or from the Files app β€” it is added to the library. Note: those three decks are also preloaded, and decks are content-addressed, so re-importing one simply refreshes it rather than duplicating; to watch a brand-new deck appear, first delete it from the library (β€’β€’β€’ β†’ Delete) and then import the downloaded file. (AirDrop'ing any .deck to the device and choosing OpenDeck works too.) The bundled example decks are first-party sample content; any photographs in them are licensed stock imagery (Pexels License, which permits commercial and in-app use). The app collects no data and makes no network requests; everything is stored on-device.
