Why we save more than we read
Most of us save far more than we will ever read. The long essay from Sunday, the thread a friend sent, the interview we promised ourselves we would finish.
They pile up, quietly. But a walk to work is twenty minutes, and a run is forty.
Put the two together, and that pile starts to look less like guilt and more like a playlist.
The trick isn't reading faster. It's finding the minutes you already have, and filling them with the things you meant to get to.
Nobody gets to everything they save, and that's fine. The point is that the good ones finally get heard.

Tuneread reads X Articles and threads, LinkedIn posts and articles, Substack, Medium, newsletters, blogs, news sites and long essays.
How it works
You save the good stuff.
The essay from Sunday. The thread a friend sent. The interview you promised yourself you'd finish.
It piles up.
Bookmarks, likes, open tabs, "read later". Hundreds of them, in five different apps. You know how it goes.
Tuneread reads it to you.
Share a link and press play. It lines everything up, so the next good thing is always ready: on the way to work, on a run, with your eyes closed.
Made for listening
Everything a good listen needs.
Follow every word.
The paragraph being read is tinted, the word is lit, and the text keeps up by itself.
The best ideas rarely arrive at a desk. They show up on a walk, halfway through something you meant to read last week.
Right on the lock screen.
Play, pause and skip from the lock screen, your AirPods or the car.
Tap to jump.
Missed a bit? Tap the paragraph, and it reads from there.
Your speed.
Slow for the dense bits, quick for the rest.
Works on a plane.
The voices run on your iPhone, so anything in your library plays without a connection.
Keep it as audio.PRO
Download a whole article ahead, or save it as an audio file to play in any app.
31 languages
Every paragraph in its own language.
Read in English and German? Or English and Czech? Tuneread hears where an article switches and changes voice with it, paragraph by paragraph. Best of all in English.
We took the night train from Prague and woke up somewhere near the border.
In Wien regnete es, aber das Café am Bahnhof hatte schon geöffnet.
Vlaky do Vídně a Berlína prý brzy zrychlí. Uvidíme.
Le soir, on a parlé de tout, sauf du retour.

“I kept saving long X Articles and posts I never had time to read. So I built an app that reads them to me while I travel to work.”
Questions
Good questions.
Do I need to log in to X or LinkedIn?
No. Tuneread reads public posts, threads, X Articles and web pages without your accounts. Posts from private accounts can't be read.
Does it work with paywalled articles?
It reads what a page shows without logging in. Behind a hard paywall, you'll usually get only the free part.
Can I listen offline?
Yes. Once an article is in your library and the voices are downloaded, Tuneread reads it with no connection.
Is there an Android version?
No, Tuneread is for iPhone, with iOS 26 or later. It's also made for iPhone Duo.
What happens to my data?
Your library, your place in each article and the audio stay on your iPhone. There's no account and no tracking. To get an article, Tuneread opens its page the way a browser does; X posts come through FxTwitter, an open-source service, or our own copy of it. The voices run on the phone, so what you listen to is never sent to a speech server. More in the privacy notes.
How much does Pro cost?
$9.99 in the US, €9.99 in Europe and £9.99 in the UK, paid once. No subscription, and the free version keeps working without it.
