Three steps. Then walk away.
1
Paste
A link to a news story. A Substack piece. A blog post. Or just type something you want read out loud.

Press play
It starts reading in about a second. You'll see each word light up as it's spoken — nice for eyes that would rather not.
3
Walk away
Take the phone to the porch. Pour a cup. It reads at a patient pace — no chipmunks, no drama.
What it reads.
Local news — kstp.com, Star Tribune, hometown papers.
National stories — The New York Times, The Atlantic, NPR.
Substack newsletters, blog posts, longform essays.
A paragraph you typed yourself, or a note a friend sent over.
Made for the porch.
ReadPep is for the person who used to read the morning paper at the kitchen table. For the walker who wants a story instead of a podcast. For anyone whose eyes have earned a rest.
