Be aware of
- File Size: The application has a large file size.
- Design: Made by a programmer, not a designer. The goals are function rather than beauty.
- Support: This is a single-developer personal passion project. Support, response, updates, enhancements, bug fixes, etc., are as my free time allows.
- Updates: I have a full-time job, a life, and a finite attention span. Therefore, a lot of time can potentially go by with no improvements of any kind.
Disclaimer
I've made every good-faith effort to include nothing insecure, malicious, anti-privacy, or destructive. That said: use at your own risk. I made this for myself and I want to share it with the great programming and audible/audiobook communities which have been so generous with their time and help.
