Aaven is an iPhone app that turns the news topics you pick into a natural-voice spoken briefing — for a commute, a walk, or making dinner.
- Pick topics (Top Stories, Technology, Business, World, Science, Health, Sports and more) and sources once
- Press play: Aaven fetches the latest headlines, summarizes them and reads them aloud one after another
- Tap any story to open the original article
- Adjustable reading speed and a sleep timer
Free tier: daily curated top stories plus Wikipedia's On This Day and Word of the Day, no account or sign-up needed.
Aaven Plus (subscription): unlimited sources and categories, a higher-quality neural voice, offline listening and playback customization.
The app and narration are in English, so it also works as listening practice with real, current news. I'm the solo developer.
