Directions, not promises · update as priorities evolve
§ Roadmap · what's ahead

On the
workbench.

What we're building now, what's queued up next, and what's on the wishlist for later. These are directions, not promises — the order changes as we learn what readers actually need.

§ Now · in flight

Now.

What's actively being built. Most items here land in the next few releases.

Voices

More voices, more range.

New voices with different timbres — warmer, brighter, and a few quieter ones for late-night reads. The first additions land soon.

Speed

Faster first read.

Cutting the wait between pressing the shortcut and hearing the first word. The next release shaves it noticeably.

Assistant

An assistant you can ask.

The placeholder on the Help page turns into a real assistant — ask anything about HearFlow and get an answer that knows the product and your settings.

Long reads

Better at book length.

Smoother handling for very long selections — a research paper, a whole chapter — without losing tempo across the read.

§ Next · coming up

Next.

Designed or in early build. The order may still shift — these are the strongest candidates for the next quarter.

Languages

Beyond English.

Spanish, French, and German first, with more languages following. The voice-quality bar is the same — we won't ship one until it sounds right.

Saved passages

Mark and come back.

Save a paragraph worth re-hearing. HearFlow keeps a small library of the things you want to come back to.

Plans

A plan for students.

The product started for one IB student. A dedicated plan for students and educators is something we owe our origin story.

Sharing

Send a passage.

Hear something worth sharing? Send the snippet to someone — the text and the spoken version, together.

§ Later · the wishlist

Later.

Ideas we like but aren't building yet. Loud user signal moves these up; quiet signal keeps them parked.

Browser

A browser companion.

A small extension so HearFlow can read what's on the page even when an app makes the text hard to highlight.

Mobile

Beyond the Mac.

An iPhone and iPad companion — read your highlights from your Mac on the move, or trigger reads from your phone.

Teams

Reading rooms.

For book clubs, study groups, and reading partners — shared listening with synced position. A way to read together, by ear.

Bookmarks

Audio bookmarks.

A library of saved reads you can return to — the chapter you didn't finish, the article you want to re-listen to next week.

What's already shipped lives in the changelog. What you help us decide lands in the next one.
