Indie dev ships Frateca, a text-to-audio app built entirely with Codex, on iOS, Android and web
OneMoreSuperUser · reddit · 2026-08-22
The author shares Frateca, a mobile app built entirely with Codex over several months: it converts any text into clear, natural-sounding speech — webpages, Substack/Medium links, PDFs, pasted text, or even photos of text — playable like a podcast or audiobook with background audio.
The app is privacy-friendly, requesting no permissions by default and only asking for access when you share files for conversion. Stack: React Native (Expo), Node.js, React web. It's free on iOS, Android, and the web.
