EarMemo plays audio you already own — podcasts, audiobooks, lectures, voice memos — all locally on iPhone and iPad. No server, no account, no SDK, no tracking. Built for long-form listening: sleep timer, bookmarks, timestamped notes, yearly listening heatmap.
Quick technical note for anyone curious: EarMemo doesn't index, scrape, or upload your files. Import via Share Sheet → file is copied into the app's sandbox → app never touches the network. The yearly heatmap is computed on-device from your own playback log. There is no "EarMemo cloud" because there is no EarMemo server.
The 18 hour audiobook example makes a lot of sense. Its often the edge cases that expose gaps in existing apps, and long form audio seems to be one of them.
@abul_hassan6 Yeah — the funny part is once I designed for the 18-hour case, the 90-minute podcast got better too. Resume behavior, scrubbing precision, what "remembered position" even means after a week away — the edge case forced choices the average case let me fudge.
What's the longest single file you've personally tried to listen to on iOS, and where did it break for you?
