A Working Model project
Audiary is a simple, private text-to-speech app for iOS. Paste or share any text — articles, notes, LLM output — and listen to it like a podcast. No accounts. No subscriptions. Everything stays on your device.
Audiary turns text into audio using your device's built-in speech engine. No network required, no APIs, no waiting.
Paste text directly or use the iOS Share Sheet to send content from any app. Safari articles, Notes, markdown files — it all works.
Lock your phone, switch apps — Audiary keeps playing. Full lock screen controls with play, pause, and skip.
Listen at your pace. Speed control from 0.5x to 2x, with your preference saved between sessions.
Markdown headers become chapters automatically. Skip between sections like tracks in a playlist.
Follow along in full-screen mode with real-time word highlighting as Audiary reads. Great for focus and retention.
Browse and preview every voice available on your device. Enhanced and downloaded voices are prioritized for the best quality.
Audiary has no servers, no analytics, and no accounts. Speech synthesis happens entirely on-device using Apple's built-in engine. We never see your text.
No data collection or tracking
