The Family

Three Apps. One Vision.

BaCE SpeakEasy is a unified set of applications: one for everyday use and document-based audio, one for authors and advanced production, and one for listening — all sharing the same design language, privacy philosophy, and commitment to local-first use.

How It Fits

Built for Real Use, Not Platform Lock-In

Use it for what you already create and keep.

SpeakEasy is designed for people who make, manage, and revisit their own media. It is not built around feeds, subscriptions, or tracking. It is built around your files, your library, and your control.

For everyday use, writing, and creative work

Convert drafts, notes, and documents into spoken audio for easier review and everyday listening.

Independent authors and serious writers

Convert manuscripts and long-form writing into more natural-sounding spoken audio with greater control over voice, settings, and output.

Listeners and collectors

Keep your personal music library and audiobooks in one place, free from ads and the cloud.

What makes SpeakEasy different

No cloud required

Your files stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded just to make the product function.

No subscriptions

Designed as software you use, not a service that keeps charging you to keep access.

No ads

No clutter, no noise, and no incentive to keep you distracted inside the app.

One design language

A unified experience across creation, conversion, and listening.

Why Offline Matters

Private by Design

SpeakEasy is built around a simple belief: your writing, your recordings, and your listening habits should not have to leave your device to be useful.

Local-first is not a footnote here.

It is the point. SpeakEasy is designed to work without turning your documents, recordings, or library into a data source, reducing friction and keeping your media under your control.

Whether you are reviewing a manuscript, converting written work into audio, or building a quieter personal library, the experience stays focused on the media itself.

What that means in practice

Your content stays yours

Files are handled locally rather than routed through a remote platform by default.

Your library goes with you

Offline listening means your experience does not disappear when the signal does.

Your attention stays intact

No ad-driven interface. No feed logic. No endless platform behavior layered onto a simple task.
