Known Issues

iOS & macOS

Streaming requires Tailscale — LAN-only mode not available

iOS's App Transport Security blocks plain HTTP to local IPs. Tailscale is required for both home Wi-Fi and remote streaming. A LAN-only mode without Tailscale is not currently in the roadmap.

Android

SMB network access unverified

SMB drive access on Android has not been fully tested in recent releases.

Roadmap

PC (Windows)Pending approval

Microsoft Store public launch

Awaiting Store approval. Will be available as a free download with a 7-day trial and one-time lifetime purchase.

iOS & macOSExploring

TTS resume from scroll position

Text-to-speech will resume from your current visible scroll position instead of the chapter top. Targeting the next App Store release.

iOS & macOSParked

LAN streaming without Tailscale

Home Wi-Fi streaming without needing Tailscale installed. Currently parked — technical constraints around iOS ATS make this complex.
