What It Does

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Audiary turns text into audio using your device's built-in speech engine. No network required, no APIs, no waiting.

Paste or Share

Paste text directly or use the iOS Share Sheet to send content from any app. Safari articles, Notes, markdown files — it all works.

Background Playback

Lock your phone, switch apps — Audiary keeps playing. Full lock screen controls with play, pause, and skip.

Adjustable Speed

Listen at your pace. Speed control from 0.5x to 2x, with your preference saved between sessions.

Chapter Navigation

Markdown headers become chapters automatically. Skip between sections like tracks in a playlist.

Word Tracking

Follow along in full-screen mode with real-time word highlighting as Audiary reads. Great for focus and retention.

Pick Your Voice

Browse and preview every voice available on your device. Enhanced and downloaded voices are prioritized for the best quality.

Privacy First

Your content stays on your device.

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.
