Witbound

It was never you — audiobooks give your eyes nothing to do. Witbound reads along with the books you own: the real narrator, every word lit up, all on your phone.

Read while you listen. Witbound pairs your audiobook with its ebook and highlights every word as the narrator speaks it.

Bring your own files. Your epub or PDF plus your audiobook (m4b, m4a, mp3, flac and more) go in; a perfectly synced read-along comes out. Everything happens on your iPhone — your books never leave it.

No ebook? Audio only. Witbound listens to the narration and writes the book for you, chapter by chapter, so any DRM-free audiobook becomes a readable, followable book.

WHY READERS LOVE IT • Word-by-word highlighting keeps your eyes and ears in lockstep • Real typography — italics, small caps, chapter art and maps preserved • Paper, sepia and night themes, adjustable type size • Sleep timer, chapter countdown, skip and scrub • Lock-screen playback controls • Reading streaks and honest stats • Dark mode throughout

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No analytics. The privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect — transcription and sync run entirely on your device using Apple's on-device speech engine.

YOUR FIRST BOOK IS FREE The bundled sample plus one imported book of your own, free forever. Witbound Plus unlocks the rest of your shelf.

WHAT WITBOUND WON'T DO Copy-protected files (Audible .aax, Kindle-store books, DRM'd epubs) can't be opened — the law forbids breaking locks, and Witbound never will. DRM-free books and audiobooks — Libro.fm, Downpour, LibriVox, Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, or your own rips — work beautifully.

Requires iOS 26 or later. Processing an audiobook takes about a minute per hour of audio and runs best while charging.
