Product questions

The practical details.

Someday is one calm local library for the things you meant to read—with a focused reader when you have the screen, and on-device audio when you do not.

What is Someday?

Someday is a local-first iPhone app for collecting chosen reading and returning to it in the form that fits. Import articles, PDFs, screenshot text and optional Gmail newsletters. Read them in a focused text view or create natural audio to keep offline.

Which imports are supported?

The Release feature set supports shared web articles, pasted URLs, local text PDFs from Files, and screenshot text recognised on-device. Optional Gmail newsletter import is available when the app’s Google OAuth configuration is enabled. YouTube URLs are not supported.

How does Gmail newsletter import work?

You connect Gmail with read-only access. Someday first requests limited recent-message metadata to identify likely newsletters, then requests full message content from Google only for senders you select. The imported content is processed on your iPhone and enters the same local Library as other articles. You can disconnect Gmail in Settings.

Can it import screenshots?

Yes. Choose up to 20 screenshots and Someday uses Apple Vision on your iPhone to recognise their text. The result becomes a normal readable item that can follow the same path to audio.

Is reading a first-class experience?

Yes. Read is not a staging screen for audio. It is an article-focused library with unread and read states, restored reading progress, structured article formatting, type controls and optional focus ambience.

How does audio work?

Someday uses an on-device Kokoro voice model to create local audio files. Once generated, audio remains stored on the iPhone for offline playback.

Does Someday require an AI provider key?

No for ordinary importing, focused reading, deterministic cleanup and standard on-device article or PDF narration. Optional AI enhancement uses a provider key configured by the user. Someday does not require a Someday account.

Can I delete my data?

Yes. Delete individual items, choose Delete library & listening data in Settings, clear optional provider credentials, or delete the app. Someday has no server-side Library database.

Is Someday already in the App Store?

Not yet. Someday is an active development build being prepared for release. The site describes the planned Release experience without promising an App Store date.
