YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED
Oughtyo works seamlessly with the Files app. Import your files from iCloud Drive or your device storage with a single tap.
- Play almost anything—MP3, M4A, M4B, AAC, WAV, AIFF, and more.
- Oughtyo copies your files to its local storage, ensuring your original files remain untouched and safe.
- Rename, reorder, and even give your library a custom name to make Oughtyo truly yours.
POWERFUL PLAYBACK TOOLS
Go beyond "Play" and "Pause." Oughtyo offers tools to help you get through your content faster and more efficiently.
- Turn on Shorten Silence to intelligently compress silences and pauses. Shorten dead air while keeping speech sounding natural and fluid.
- Oughtyo’s playback progress bar doesn't just show you how many minutes are left in the file—it calculates the estimated time remaining based on your current playback speed.
- Set a specific speed for a lecture and a different one for a book. Oughtyo remembers your preference for every single file, with per-file speed controls.
REVOLUTIONARY BOOKMARKING
Oughtyo transforms bookmarks from simple timestamps into powerful tools.
- When you create a bookmark, Oughtyo generates a short transcript of the surrounding audio so you can remember exactly why that moment mattered. (iOS 26 is required for transcription)
- Export your bookmarks, notes, and transcripts as a .txt file. It’s the perfect tool for book clubs, study groups, or highlighting your favorite quotes.
COLLECTIONS & CHAPTERS
Stop scrolling through endless lists.
- Bundle multi-part audiobooks or lectures into "invisible playlists" called Collections. Condense dozens of files into a single, clean library entry.
- If your file has chapters, Oughtyo reveals them with a beautiful artwork rotation. Skip between segments with ease.
BUILT FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE
- Fall asleep to your favorite audio with timers for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or the end of the current chapter.
- Keep listening while you multitask or when your device is locked.
- Your files stay on your device. No ads. No intrusive permission pop-ups.
