**Releasing November 20th**

Hey Folks, I just wanted to share some information on the upcoming Adventure To Fate: Dungeons game. This is the next chapter in the Adventure To Fate series and will be the 7th release over the past 14+ years.

Here is a preview of the game and what sets it apart from the previous ones.

Hi all,

I make AudioBo, a Mac app that turns a folder of MP3s or a ripped CD into one audiobook with chapters. Until last week it only made M4B files, the kind Apple Books plays. Version 1.4.4 adds DAISY, the format that Victor Reader, Plextalk and similar players use, and I'd like to hear from anyone here who has such a player.

Why I built it: a user wrote that he records books for his blind mother, and her DAISY CD player would not play the M4B files. Every tool for making DAISY books I could find runs on Windows, so I added it to AudioBo.

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,
Big news: Cat Nap Cafe is finally out! It's been weeks of waiting, and I'm so excited to share it with you.
Cat Nap Cafe is a cozy game from Bridge Play Interactive, and like everything we build, it was made with accessibility in mind from the start. I'm blind myself, so VoiceOver support isn't an afterthought for me.

Hi Applevis community. My name is Daniel, and I am the developer behind Tag Everything, an AI-powered NFC labelling system for your physical items.

I’ve soft-launched the product locally in Australia and I’m now looking for some more feedback as I release it globally.

Hi everyone,

My name is Dan, an indie developer. Over the past year, I’ve poured nearly all my time into building a pedestrian mobility app called EchoScape.

It technically landed on the App Store back in February, but I deliberately held back from posting here until now. I didn’t want to bring something half-baked to this community. For months, I kept walking, tweaking and refining it until the core loop could genuinely carry a full outdoor trip on its own.

Hello everyone!

Some of you may remember me as the developer of FruitPot, the accessible slot machine game that was discussed here on AppleVis several years ago.

I still remember the wonderful support and feedback I received from this community, and I'm very grateful for it.

Well, I'm back with something completely different!

I've just released FruitPot Adventures, a free point-and-click adventure game for iPhone, designed for both blind and sighted players.

Hello,

I asked the editorial team before posting this, and Michael kindly pointed me here.

I make Legato, a browser for macOS. It repairs a page's accessibility before VoiceOver reads it: unlabelled buttons get names, headings become real headings, focus order stops jumping, dialogs stop trapping you. It does not replace VoiceOver — it works with it, and you can keep your own screen reader and your own voice.

I am not here to announce it. I am here because I do not trust my own testing.

Hi everyone,

I'm a software engineer and I'm completely blind. Like many of you, I've spent years struggling with PDFs that are difficult or sometimes nearly impossible to navigate with a screen reader.

Reading shouldn't be this complicated.

Documents with broken reading order, poorly structured tables, inaccessible layouts, and scanned pages can turn something as simple as reading an article, academic paper, or technical document into a frustrating experience.

Hi everyone, I’m the developer of Echo Runner, I just wanted to give a quick update regards to my game. I’ve officially fixed the issue in Echo Runner where player progress—including levels, coins, and best scores—was constantly resetting. To resolve this and properly host the game, I’ve created a dedicated website for it on GitHub. I'm sorry for the inconvenience for those playing my game, and hopefully this resolves things so you guys can have a better experience! Here’s the link to my game https://e7chia.github.io/echo-runner/

Hello everyone,

I’m the developer of Folio, an iPhone and iPad app that helps you organize many different parts of everyday life in one place. I’ve been working on Folio for a long time, and it is now available on the App Store.

Folio is more than a basic to-do list. It lets you create notebooks that match the way you actually organize your life. Each notebook can have its own fields, categories, statuses, sorting order, reminders, and repeat rules.

You can use Folio for many different purposes, including:

Hello AppleVis community,

I’d like to introduce Li IPTV Pro, an IPTV player for watching channels and other content using your own IPTV subscription. The app supports iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

I started working on the app about a month ago, and I’m still developing and improving it. As a VoiceOver user myself, accessibility is very important to me.

You can join the TestFlight beta and try the app here:

Hello everyone, dear AppleVis community.

I would like to present my project Sonarpad, which is now also available on iOS and Android.

After creating Sonarpad for Windows and Mac, which you can find on the website https://sonarpad.com, I have finally brought my ideas to the mobile world too. These ideas have already had very good success.

At the moment, the iOS version is still in beta, but it has already been tested by many Italian testers. For this reason, I am happy to share it with you too.

Hello AppleVis community,

My name is Meriç, and I develop apps with accessibility at their heart. Today, I would like to introduce ZeroBooks Reader, my app for reading and listening to books, documents, and audio files on iPhone and iPad.

ZeroBooks Reader is a one-time purchase, with no app subscription or hidden recurring fees. It is fully accessible with VoiceOver and includes dark mode for people who prefer a darker interface, including users with low vision. Extensive settings let you tailor the reading experience to your preferences.

Hi everyone,

I'm Roman, a developer from Brno in the Czech Republic. I have ADHD and a bit of dyslexia, and I made Tuneread so I could listen to the articles I save instead of letting them pile up. It has been on the App Store for a couple of weeks, and I'd really like to hear from people who use VoiceOver every day, because I don't.

How it works
