About

Writeflo

Read full description

Writeflo is writing without the backspace. Open a blank screen and start typing. As you write, your older words gently fade out of view so you can't stop to reread, second-guess, or edit. There's only one direction: forward. It's the fastest way past a blank page and an overthinking mind. When you finish, the piece locks. You can't read it again until tomorrow. That little bit of distance means you come back to your own words fresh — sometimes surprised by what you wrote. Why writers love it • Words fade as you type, so perfectionism can't get a grip • Sessions unlock the next day for a fresh read • A different typeface each day keeps the ritual feeling new • Read, export, and share past pieces anytime • 100% on-device and private — your writing never leaves your phone • No accounts, no sign-up, no distractions Whether it's morning pages, journaling, beating writer's block, or just getting the noise out of your head — Writeflo helps you write freely and honestly. Just write. Read it tomorrow.

Listen to anything you read. The article you saved for later, the contract from work, the book you’re halfway through. Narraloud reads them to you in natural voices that live right on your device. Natural voices run on your device, so narration works offline, nothing meters your listening, and your reading stays private. Books. PDFs. Links. Even the page sitting in front of you. Import what you want to read, press play, and listen while you walk, commute, cook, work, or simply give your eyes a break. NATURAL VOICES. RIGHT ON YOUR DEVICE. Narraloud uses neural speech models that run directly on your phone. Narration works offline, on a plane, in a tunnel, anywhere, and there is no account required just to start listening. Dozens of voices across seven languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese, each reading its own language natively. Just open something and listen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your reading is personal. Narraloud’s narration runs on your device, so your documents are never uploaded to a server just to be spoken aloud. What you read is your business. NO CREDITS. JUST LISTEN. No minute packs, no word limits, and no meter running while you listen. Press play on a twenty-hour book and hear all of it. EVERYTHING YOU READ, READY TO LISTEN Bring almost anything into Narraloud: • Send articles directly from other apps • Import PDFs, EPUBs, and Word documents • Open documents from the Files app, including your cloud drives • Paste text from anywhere • Scan printed pages with your camera Narraloud turns them into clear, natural narration. FOLLOW ALONG AS YOU LISTEN Narraloud is designed for reading with your ears without losing your place on the page. • Word-by-word highlighting follows the narration • Change playback speed anytime • Continue listening from the Lock Screen with full playback controls • Bookmark passages to come back to • Choose a voice that fits what you’re reading • Jump forward or backward • Set a sleep timer and drift off to a chapter MADE FOR MORE WAYS OF READING For some people, listening is convenient. For others, it’s how reading becomes possible. Narraloud is built with accessibility as a core part of the product: full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type throughout the app, dyslexia-friendly and hyperlegible reading fonts, and synchronized highlighting that lets you see each word as you hear it. It’s especially useful for readers with dyslexia or low vision, people who process information better when they hear it, and anyone who’d simply rather listen. NARRALOUD PLUS Narraloud reads aloud for free, forever. Plus adds the power tools: export any document as an audiobook, get imports cleaned and structured automatically, use the full voice catalog in VoiceOver and every other app, and teach the pronunciation dictionary your names and jargon. Subscription plans include a 7-day free trial. You can also buy the Lifetime plan, own it for good, and get every feature we ship next at no extra cost. Narraloud - text to narration. Press play on your reading list. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://narraloud.com/privacy
