Auren creates an anonymous installation identity on your device for online services such as translation, connected-provider narration, Gift a Listen, and support. The identifier and its 32-byte secret stay in ThisDeviceOnly Keychain storage. Auren stores only a hash of the secret and uses short-lived installation sessions. Auren Premium Voice sends each uncached passage through Auren's service for narration and tracks the period allowance. A Premium-only access token is stored in iOS Keychain. Premium audio is cached on the device and on Auren's service; private-import audio is owner-scoped. Optional connected-provider narration accepts an existing developer API key. For each uncached passage, Auren sends the provider key and passage through its Cloudflare service to the provider selected. Connected-provider audio is cached on the device. Auren does not create provider accounts or sell provider usage. Before translating an article, Auren asks for permission to send the article title and text through Auren's service on Cloudflare to Google Gemini. Do not continue with content you do not want processed off your device. Auren requires an Auren subscription for app access. In the US, Auren Monthly is $7.99 per month and includes about 75 minutes of Auren Premium Voice each month. Auren Annual is $59.99 per year and includes 15 hours of Auren Premium Voice each year. App Store pricing varies by region. Eligible new annual subscribers can receive a 7-day free trial with the full annual allowance available from its start. The monthly plan has no introductory offer. Each plan renews automatically for its billing period unless canceled in your App Store account. Apple determines trial eligibility and shows the offer and price before purchase confirmation.

Cadence helps you stay with what you're reading. The page fills in word by word at the pace you set, so your eyes always know where to go, and there's never a wall of words waiting. STAY FOCUSED The words arrive in the order you read them, at a steady pace. Your eyes follow along, and the pace carries you on when your mind would wander. Tap anywhere to pause. NEVER OVERWHELMED Each page starts empty and fills as you read. Only the words you've reached are on the screen, so there's nothing ahead to skim and no place to lose. When you'd rather see it all, the full text is a tap away. A PAGE THAT SUITS YOU Tell Cadence what makes reading harder, if anything, and it suggests a font, size and background that some people find easier. Choose your own pace, in light or dark, and change any of it whenever you like. STAY WITH IT Set a daily reading goal, get a gentle reminder if you'd like one, and watch your week fill with the books you read. Highlight what you want to keep, and find it again later.
