Getting to know Listenfold

What is Listenfold?

A native podcast player being built around a simple idea: choose the time you have and listen to a coherent shorter version of an episode, using the original recording and voices.

Is it a spoken AI summary?

The intended listening experience uses the original speakers’ voices from the recording. It selects meaningful passages; it does not generate replacement speech or clone voices.

Will the editing happen on my device?

We’re building episode transcription and editing to run on your iPhone or iPad. Searches and episode downloads still contact their providers. Supported devices, offline behavior and final privacy details will be confirmed before release.

Can every episode fit any amount of time?

No. Some conversations lose essential meaning when shortened too far. The product is designed to offer a longer version or the original when a useful edit cannot fit your chosen time.

When can I use it?

We are refining the listening experience before public release. We have not announced a launch date. Availability will be posted here when the app is ready.

Will it work with every podcast?

We are building discovery around public podcast feeds. Final content availability and supported feed types will be confirmed before launch. Paid, private and restricted services should not be assumed to work.

How will testing work?

Testing will be by invitation before public release. If you receive an invitation, follow the instructions supplied with it to share feedback. This website is not distributing an alpha, beta or TestFlight invitation.

Can I purchase a membership here?

No. There is no checkout on this website. Final membership details and any purchase terms will be shown with the app before a purchase is available.

Using a development build

These steps describe the current build. Controls may change as we refine the app.

Preparation stopped. What should I do?

Open Listenfold again and check the episode. Interrupted preparation may resume automatically. If it still needs attention, use the retry action shown for your requested time. Keep Listenfold open unless its progress message says it can continue in the background.

You can also open Other versions and choose Original. To check whether editing is available on your device, open Model setup.

My preparation is waiting in a paused queue.

Open Settings → Preparation queue → Start queue. Pausing the queue lets the current preparation finish before stopping the next one.

How do I listen without a connection?

While connected, choose the version you want and tap Keep offline. Wait until it says Available offline before going offline. Streaming alone does not save a complete recording.

If the selected version is not saved, reconnect or choose a downloaded version. An original and a prepared edit are separate listening choices.

The app says protected storage is unavailable.

Unlock your iPhone or iPad and return to Listenfold. The app retries when protected storage becomes available. If the error remains, contact support with the exact message before deleting the app or your library; deleting them can remove saved listening files.

How can I free up storage?

Open Settings → Storage to review saved audio and use Remove audio for items you no longer need. Listening history is retained. Removing a prepared listen can mean preparing it again.

To remove the entire current local library and its editing files, use Delete local library and editing files and read the confirmation carefully. This cannot be undone. Deleting listening data does not cancel an Apple subscription.

What do Restore purchases and Manage Apple subscriptions do?

Both are on the Membership page. Restore purchases asks Apple to recover eligible purchases; it does not recover deleted recordings or edits. Manage Apple subscriptions opens Apple’s subscription settings.

Membership sales are currently disabled. When purchases become available, the app will show Apple’s actual price, trial eligibility and renewal terms before you subscribe.
