TaleReady, in the developer’s words.
A small independent app for people who have audiobook files and want to take them offline on Apple Watch. These are product facts and assets, not independent reviews.
The short description
TaleReady is a private iPhone and Apple Watch player for DRM-free MP3, M4A, and M4B audiobooks. Import on iPhone, prepare a listening window, and check the time verified as playable on Watch before leaving the phone behind.
Why I built it
I wanted to head out with my Watch and headphones and listen to audiobook files I already owned. I wanted a straightforward way to prepare the next part and see that it was actually on the Watch before I left. That is the problem I built TaleReady around. — Marek Pesan, developer
