Aaven — News & Audio

I made Aaven, 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 and Aaven fetches the latest headlines, summarizes them and reads them aloud, one after another, like a short radio briefing. Tap any story to open the original article; reading speed is adjustable and a sleep timer stops playback for you.

Free tier: daily curated top stories plus daily extras (Wikipedia's On This Day, Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day). No account required. Aaven Plus (monthly or yearly subscription): unlimited sources and categories, a higher-quality neural voice, offline listening and playback customization.

The news and narration are in English, so it also works as real-world English listening practice.
