Warnings

I hope you get some value out of this app, but it is the bare minimum I wanted for what I needed, and it's buggy with rough edges. Be aware:

  • If your device prompts you to install this as an app, doing so will enable it to work offline so you can use it in airplane mode and avoid distractions
  • I never see or store any of your data. That's great for your privacy but it means you lose everything if you lose your device or clear your browsing data. Use the export and import buttons at the top of the library page to back up and restore your scripts to/from a file that you can store however you like
  • Playback only works reliably if your screen stays switched on with the app open
  • The voice synthesis works well on Android but may be robotic on other platforms
  • You can, at your own risk and cost, plug in an OpenAI API key if you know what that is. Otherwise, just ignore this bullet. You'll get more natural speech but it's minimally tested and the cache is small so you can run up charges easily
