The news as a short, personalised audio brief — only the stories that matter to you, in the time you actually have. Set a time and it's ready when you are.
Endless feeds, twenty open tabs, and you still feel behind. While You Were Busy does the reading for you and hands back a tight audio briefing of what actually moved — so you're informed in the gaps of your day, not buried by them.
Listen on your commute, your run, or your morning coffee. Eyes free, hands free.
Pick the topics you care about and the brief is weighted to them — not a one-size feed.
Choose a time; it's generated and waiting. Wake up to a brief instead of a firehose.
Global sources, balanced across regions and languages so you're not stuck in one bubble.
Listen in English or Mandarin Chinese today, with more languages on the way.
No ads, no cross-app tracking, no selling your data. An anonymous account — no sign-up needed.
Tell it what you care about — world, markets, tech, your region, whatever. Or just describe it in plain words.
Schedule a daily brief for the morning, or make one on demand. It scores the stories, writes the script, and narrates it.
A 3–7 minute briefing, saved on your device for offline listening. Skip between stories, scrub, done.
