Readio turns the articles, PDFs, and documents you read into audio you can listen to - like a personal podcast feed built from anything on the web. Share a link from Safari, paste a URL, drop in a PDF, or subscribe to an RSS feed. Built entirely on-device. Runs on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. No accounts. No tracking. No subscription. One price, yours forever.

LISTEN ANYWHERE

• High-quality on-device text-to-speech with a full Siri voice picker
• Pitch-preserving 0.5x-2x playback - no chipmunk effect
• Skip forward / back, jump by paragraph, scrub the timeline
• Resumes where you left off, even across reboots
• Auto-advance respects your progress - finished articles let the next queued one resume; Skip Next restarts fresh
• Adjustable pause between articles, plus a sleep timer with "stop at end of article"

WORKS WITH YOUR LIFE

• CarPlay with pre-rendered audio for stutter-free highway driving
• Articles render to disk in the background so wireless playback uses a real audio file
• Lock screen, Control Center, Bluetooth, AirPods, and car-stereo controls all wired up
• Background audio that survives phone calls without auto-resuming
• Share extension - send any URL from any app into your queue

A PLAYER THAT FEELS RIGHT

• Tap the mini player and the artwork flies up into the full player with a matched-geometry morph
• Album-style zoom into playlists and detail views
• Animated waveform on whichever article is currently playing
• Twelve accent palettes and iOS 26 Liquid Glass chrome throughout

CLEAN READER VIEW

• Five themes (Auto, Light, Sepia, Dark, Black) and eight reading-optimized fonts
• Drop-cap opener, wider iPad column, sticky header with a live "X min left" pill
• Tap to immerse - toolbars hide for distraction-free reading; one tap brings them back
• Long-press any sentence to share it as a beautifully-rendered quote image
• Read and listen interchangeably - your position syncs across both modes

DOCUMENTS, NOT JUST ARTICLES

• Import PDFs, EPUBs, HTML files, plain text, and Markdown
• Read in the native viewer or extracted into the reader and listened to
• Stored on-device - never sent to a server
• Open from Files, AirDrop, or any share sheet

KEEP THE WHOLE PAGE

• Save full-page snapshots - code blocks, images, and layout intact
• Available offline once captured, viewable from inside the article
• Per-article default view, or turn it on globally

SMART PLAYLISTS

• Today, Quick Listens, Long Reads, Recently Played, Unstarted — auto-curated for the time you have
• Build your own with a rule editor: by source, by length, by recency
• Updates live as your library changes; tap to listen to the whole set

ORGANIZE

• Continue Listening carousel - pick up where you stopped on every in-progress article
• Playlists with custom gradients and SF Symbol icons
• Drag-to-reorder queue, swipe-to-remove, Edit button so handles are always visible
• Long-press in Library, Search, or Up Next for one-tap Play, Start Over, Add to Queue, Move to Top, Archive, Delete
• Auto-archive completed articles - restorable from Archive any time
• Search with sort and instant keyboard dismiss
• iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad

RSS FEEDS

• Subscribe to any feed - articles import automatically and are ready to listen
• Smart deduplication so the same article never queues twice
• "Restored from Archive" indicator when a re-shared article is already in your library

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• Articles fetched directly from the source over HTTPS
• Nothing leaves your device except the article URL itself
• No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs
• One-time payment - no subscription, no ads, ever
