Why Tider
Tider doesn't just read your text. It writes, produces, and delivers a tailored audio experience — all on your own machine.
The language and voice models download once, then generate audio fully on-device. No servers, no per-use fees, no metering — and it works offline.
Your documents and the audio Tider generates never leave your machine. Nothing is uploaded to be processed by anyone.
Tell Tider to sound like a BBC journalist, a YC partner, or a friendly senior engineer. Every episode is shaped to a voice you actually want to listen to — not a generic robot.
Pick host and guest, format, and style. Tider rewrites any document into a natural back-and-forth conversation — like having your notes explained to you by a podcast.
Subscribe to any RSS feed or URL. Tider crawls, extracts, and queues fresh articles as audio — so your commute is always filled with what's actually new in your field.
The iPhone app generates on-device too — a full pocket studio, not a remote control. Optional Pro cloud sync keeps your saved plans in step across Mac and iPhone.
The AI runs locally. Your documents, your scripts, and the audio Tider produces stay on your device — not on our servers. The only thing you send us is an email, and only if you choose Pro cloud sync.
Your feed, your rules
Pick the blogs, newsletters, and RSS feeds you actually trust. Tider turns every new article into audio — automatically, in your chosen persona, on your schedule.
How it works
Personas
Pick a preset or describe your own. A deep-voiced analyst walking through strategy sounds nothing like a warm narrator doing a solo deep-dive — and both are generated on-device.
Free and unlimited. No account, no credit card. On macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Linux, and iPhone.
