Like a lot of people, I stopped keeping up with the news because I never had the 20 minutes it takes to sit down and actually read it. So I built Audiline — it turns your day's news into short, personalized audio summaries you can listen to on your commute, at the gym, or wherever reading isn't an option.
What it does
- Turns the day's news into a few minutes of spoken summary, updated daily
- Personalizes coverage to the topics you care about
- No reading, no clickbait, no infinite scroll — just audio, fact-checked and concise
- Free, live on iOS and Android
Why I built it
I'm a backend/tech lead by day, and I kept noticing the same pattern in myself: I wanted to stay informed, but reading the news competed with everything else on my phone for the same scroll-and-swipe attention, and it almost always lost. Audio didn't have that problem — I already listen to podcasts and music during dead time in the day. So I built the news into that same format instead of fighting for reading time I didn't have.

Still early days, and I'd genuinely love feedback — what would make this something you'd use daily?

This has honestly become my go-to app for staying updated with the news. I really like how convenient it is to just listen to the news, especially when I’m busy. What I like most is that it focuses on the news that actually matters- no noise or endless scroll. The UI is simple and clean too. Really appreciate the effort that has gone into building this.
I’d definitely recommend it to college students and office-goers who don’t always have the time to scroll through Instagram, Facebook, or X for news. One of the best apps I’ve come across for staying updated with news all around the world.
