About Oblisten
Give your Obsidian notes a voice. Oblisten turns Markdown notes into a personal listening library. Connect a vault stored on your iPhone or in iCloud Drive, choose a note or folder, and keep listening while you walk, commute, or take a break. LISTEN YOUR WAY • Apple on-device text-to-speech, with selectable Chinese and English system voices • Background playback, Lock Screen controls, and headset controls • Continuous playback with five speed levels: 0.8×, 1.0×, 1.2×, 1.5×, and 2.0× • A sleep timer that stops after a chosen duration, the current note, or the current queue • Resume playback, follow spoken text, or start from a paragraph EXPLORE YOUR VAULT • Browse folders and search note titles or content • Play individual notes or a folder of notes • Create listening templates using folders, tags, and path keywords • Choose random or sequential playback • Browse recently updated notes and recent playback history • Open the current note in Obsidian BUILT AROUND YOUR NOTES Oblisten cleans Markdown formatting for speech and scans your authorized vault for changes. Your local index, playback history, and listening preferences stay on your device. Speech uses Apple system voices; no account, API key, or cloud speech service is required. Oblisten never modifies your vault files and does not provide Obsidian sync. Files stored in iCloud Drive must be available on your device for reading.
What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated October 7, 2026
This update focuses on simple, on-device listening. • Speech now uses Apple system voices exclusively, with separate Chinese and English voice selection. • Removed cloud speech providers, API key setup, and cloud audio cache controls. • Simplified settings while retaining listening templates for folders, tags, and path keywords. Oblisten is a note listening player. Spaced-review ratings and scheduling are no longer part of the app.
