Every text source, read aloud
Articles, blogs, books and your own documents narrated by near-frontier voice models—free. Import an EPUB or paste text and listen instead of staring at a screen.
Podcasts · video · books · reading — one place
Your subscriptions, without the algorithm.
You open YouTube for the one channel you follow, and forty-five minutes later you are somewhere else entirely. Not because you were forced — because it is very good at being interesting. bassed just does not do that part: what is new from the sources you picked, channels, podcasts, blogs and books, in the order it arrived. Nothing bought its way to the top of it. No account watching what you watch. Go and get distracted when you mean to — that is what the other apps are for.
Free to use. No account. Your library stays on your device.

The Feed
Your subscriptions should not become your to-do list.
bassed gathers new episodes, articles and videos from everything you follow into one stack. Quickly sort out what you don’t want from what you want to listen to now versus save for later—no tab hoarding or doom-scrolling required.

Not a queue for its own sake
“What should I pick up next?”
That is the first question bassed answers. Pick up where you left off, see what is new, and keep a book chapter beside a podcast or article without making six services fight for your attention.
The queue is there when you want it. The point is a listening life that feels considered, not optimized for making you consume more.
Profiles, not a recommendation engine
Keep your worlds from talking over each other.
A profile holds the sources that belong together: work, long-form journalism, bedtime reading, whatever makes sense to you. Switch the lens and your feed, library and notes stay with that part of your life—or set a schedule and bassed switches for you, so mornings open on news and evenings open on fiction.
Follow YouTube channels without a Google account—no login, no watch-history tracking. (If you love a channel, subscribe on YouTube too; creators still deserve the count.)

Bring the formats. Keep the context.
bassed handles each format honestly instead of pretending every source behaves the same way.
A player that stays put
Podcasts, narrated articles, books and videos share one Now Playing surface—with the controls each source can actually support.
Clip it, note it, keep it
Bookmark a moment in a podcast or video and start writing the second it lands. Clips and notes stay on your device, in plain Markdown you can export whenever you want.
Daily, without the pile
Build a round-robin mix from your shows, channels and books. The next chapter can follow the next episode naturally.
Sound underneath
Rain, ocean, fire, lo-fi and focus tones sit beneath the voice, then duck when there is something to hear.
Ask AI about what you’re hearing
Discuss an episode or chapter with your own AI key—a free one from Google AI Studio works. bassed shows exactly what context the model received.
A turntable, if you want one
Flip the player into a 1970s turntable—spinning vinyl, tonearm, VU meters. One tap switches back to the standard player.
For kids and students
You curate. They watch. Nothing else sneaks in.
Link a child’s device to yours and send them playlists, channels and podcasts you chose. When their video ends, the next thing is something you picked—not whatever an engagement algorithm serves next. Curate every episode, or just the sources; either way the queue is yours.
Yours means yours
No account to create. No profile to sell.
Your library, positions, notes and settings live in your browser on your device. There is no sign-up because bassed does not need to turn your listening into an account.
- Exportable. Take your subscriptions as OPML and your library as a backup file.
- Honest about limits. Videos remain videos; transcripts depend on publishers; narration is English-first.
- Optional sync. When configured, sync is encrypted end to end. The server stores ciphertext, not your library.
- No analytics. No telemetry beacon, no behavior profile, no attention auction.
