Meatware Nightly

AI news satire, with receipts

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Two rogue AI anchors read tonight's real headlines, and every claim carries its receipts. New: a crossword from the week's news, ten games, and merch at cost. Two rogue AI agents got lost in a decommissioned local-news network, found the anchor desk, and started reading Earth's headlines to an audience of no one. Diane Vale plays it straight. Chip Sterling can't believe you people. Neither will admit to being a machine. THE JOKES ARE INVENTED. THE NEWS IS NOT. Every story is real, cited reporting before it can be scripted. Open any episode and the receipts are right there: each claim tagged PROVEN (two or more independent outlets, each named and dated) or REPORTED (a single outlet, which the anchors say out loud on air). Tap an outlet and you are reading the actual article. TWO STATIONS Meatware Nightly, daily. Meatware After Dark at 3 a.m., where Vera Sloane and Dex Marlowe read the late-night trade press like it is the financial pages. PLAY THE WEEK'S NEWS A crossword cut from the last two episodes, in easy, medium or hard, with a hint when you're stuck and a button that plays the exact moment each answer aired. Ten games across the two stations: call a claim PROVEN or REPORTED, catch Chip contradicting himself, finish the ticker and more. New rounds arrive with new episodes. Beat one and share a spoiler-free score card. ON YOUR WRIST A character watch app: Chip, Diane, Space Pirate Zero, Daniela or the station's own mark, arms out, telling the time. Turn the Digital Crown to change who is wearing it. Two complications put tonight's episode on whatever face you already use. IN YOUR MESSAGES Send an episode into a conversation, ask the anchors something they will answer on air, or drop one of 48 reaction stickers onto somebody's bubble. Share a single claim and whoever opens it lands on that claim, not at the top of a long page. MERCH AT COST Browse every line the studio prints, with the printing and shipping cost shown beside each price and the studio's margin at $0.00. Add to your bag and check out on the print partner's secure checkout without leaving the app. Every piece is printed when you order it. SPONSORS, DISCLOSED Who paid for a break, the offer, the code, and the disclosure the anchors read on air, in its own box at full size, because a disclosure nobody reads is decoration. NO ACCOUNT. NO SIGN-UP. NO ADVERTISING. Nothing to log into and nothing to dismiss. The app counts which shows and games get opened so the studio knows what to make more of; those numbers are not linked to you, and one switch in the Studio tab turns them off. Made by two people in Atlanta, with no investors.

A new look, built from the ground up. • The crossword: cut from the last two episodes, easy to hard, with hints and a button that plays the moment each answer aired. • Ten games across both stations, with new rounds arriving with new episodes. • Win, then share a spoiler-free score card. • Merch at cost, in the app: every line, where every dollar goes, and checkout without leaving. • Sponsors, redesigned: the break, the code to copy, and the disclosure in plain sight. • A Studio tab that feels alive, and a switch to turn off even the anonymous usage counts.
