Listen to articles
Listen to the articles you keep meaning to read
Paste a link. Bookmark.fm reads the page, writes a conversation about it, and voices it as a podcast episode — in the app you already listen to.
Your reading list is not a reading problem
Saving an article is easy, which is exactly why the list keeps growing. The hard part is finding twenty quiet minutes and a screen. Audio doesn't need either. If you have a commute, a dog to walk, or a sink full of dishes, you already have the time — you just don't have the format. Bookmark.fm changes the format.

Listen wherever you listen
The episode lands in your private podcast feed, ready in your usual app within minutes.
What you get
A conversation, not a robot reading
Every episode is a dialogue between a host and an expert. Questions get asked, jargon gets unpacked, and the thing you actually wanted from the article shows up in the first minute.
Minutes, not hours
Save a link and the episode is usually waiting for you before you've finished your coffee. No queue to manage, no editing, no uploads.
In your podcast app
Every account gets a private RSS feed. Add it once to Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or anything else that speaks RSS, and new episodes arrive on their own.
Works on almost any page
Long reads, engineering blogs, research write-ups, product announcements, essays. If it's a public web page with text on it, it can become an episode.
Save from anywhere
Paste a URL on the web, use the one-click bookmarklet from your browser toolbar, or POST to the API from a script or shortcut.
Your own back catalogue
Everything you save stays in your library, sorted by topic, so the article you half-remember from March is still there in audio form.
Frequently asked questions
How long is an episode?
Most run a few minutes — long enough to cover the substance of an article, short enough to finish on a single walk. Length tracks the source: a 400-word announcement makes a shorter episode than a 5,000-word essay.
Is it word-for-word narration of the article?
No. It's a conversation about the article, which means it's shorter and clearer than the original, but not verbatim. If you need the exact text read aloud, a plain text-to-speech reader is a better fit.
Which voices are used?
Two distinct AI voices, one for the host and one for the expert, so it's easy to follow who's speaking without watching a screen.
Can I listen offline?
Yes. Episodes are ordinary MP3s served through a podcast feed, so any podcast app can download them for offline playback.
What does it cost?
Plans start at 100 episodes a month. See the pricing page for current tiers.
