So I built <strong>Audiline</strong> — 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.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <ul> <li>Turns the day's news into a few minutes of spoken summary, updated daily</li> <li>Personalizes coverage to the topics you care about</li> <li>No reading, no clickbait, no infinite scroll — just audio, fact-checked and concise</li> <li>Free, live on iOS and Android</li> </ul> <h2> Why I built it </h2> <p>I'm a backend/tech lead by day, and I kept noticing the same pattern in myself: I <em>wanted</em> 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.</p> <h2> Try it </h2> <ul> <li>Website: <a href="https://www.audiline.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.audiline.com/</a> </li> <li>App Store: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/audiline-short-audio-news/id6799126995" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/audiline-short-audio-news/id6799126995</a> </li> <li>Google Play: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.audiline.app&amp;hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.audiline.app&amp;hl=en</a> </li> </ul> <p>Still early days, and I'd genuinely love feedback — what would make this something you'd use daily?</p> showdev productivity news
