v1.0.0-beta
1b135c0

First public beta of ReadPlease — a macOS menu-bar text-to-speech app. Select text anywhere, press your global hotkey, and it reads aloud. Runs as a menu-bar item (no Dock icon).

Install

  1. Download ReadPlease-v1.0.0-beta.zip below and unzip it.
  2. Move ReadPlease.app into your Applications folder.

First launch (unnotarized beta)

Not notarized yet, so macOS blocks it once.

  1. Double-click ReadPlease.app → click Done on the warning
  2. System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll to Security → Open Anyway

Or just run this command in terminal:

xattr -cr /Applications/ReadPlease.app

Permissions

On first run, grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring when prompted — these power the global hotkey and reading your selected text.

Notes

  • macOS only. Early beta — feedback and issues very welcome.
