Stories, updates, and insights from the team building privacy-first tools for better reading and listening experiences.
From desktop v0.1.71, PDF View renders imported PDFs at full fidelity with synchronized sentence highlighting on the page itself—plus demo video, how to use it, import times, and an honest note on complexity and edge cases.
From desktop v0.1.75 on Mac and Windows, WithAudio runs Piper TTS alongside the app for fast local neural speech—starting with German via Thorsten-Voice and opening the door to many more languages and community voices.
Starting in desktop v0.1.72, WithAudio can run TTS on MLX on Mac—3–4× faster Kokoro, room for new models like Marvis TTS, while Transformers.js remains on Windows and as fallback. Inspired by mlx-audio-swift.
Three Spanish voices (from v0.1.68) and two Italian voices (from v0.1.73) are now in the desktop app. Hear samples, follow the docs for voice setup, and try WithAudio with a free trial or a one-time license backed by a seven-day money-back guarantee.
Since late January 2026, WithAudio offers a free trial with limits so you can evaluate the app before buying. Same product philosophy: a one-time license, not a subscription—plus links to voices and video demos.
