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.
