Surprise shadow drop! I’ve been stealth building Strophe, a native iOS ebook reader with on-device text-to-speech. Turn any ebook into an audiobook, import any web articles or text, multiple voices, sound scapes, and way more. No listening limits, no account needed and works offline. I've built this app for myself to replace ElevenReader, Instapaper, Speechify, Apple Books, etc. Just submitted it to the App Store. Available later this week for all iOS devices!

When I started working on @BasaltApp I had one thing in mind: to follow @kepano & @obsdmd's file-based approach but for financial data. I wanted to users to own their data and be able to do what they want with it which is why I came up with a format that anyone can feed the docs to Claude/Codex and build tools around. github.com/tbergeron/basalt-…

Aiva is currently down. @OpenAI somehow changed our API keys. We had to regenerate a new one and push an update. @Apple being so nice, rejected our expedited update because our screenshots (which we didn't even change) contain device frames. Please bear with us 🙏

We’ll be back on Twitter soon!
Twitter finally killed @AivaSays' Twitter API access. Took a surprisingly long time luckily, for some reason the new API is being a b**ch to setup but we'll bring it back soon. Sucks that they haven't left low usage accounts active and forced us to re-apply, etc. Stay tuned!

Attention subscribers! If Aiva is acting as if you’re not subscribed please try the following workaround: Go to Preferences and tap the “Restore Purchases” link. It should restore your unlimited messages. Please note that you might need to do it each time you open the app. We’re working on a fix that will be released later this week. If you have any other issues, do not hesitate to reach out to hello@aivasays.com Thank you for your patience.
