Listen to articles, PDFs, and Kindle—or watch your sources become a show. Animated presenters. Personal feed radio. Local AI. No account or subscription. Free trial.
YOUR FEEDS. NOW ON AIR.
Choose the sources you care about and press Play. Robot Radio turns followed feeds into a continuous lineup of short, presenter-led reports. Browse curated stations across news, technology, science, culture, and more, or build My Station around your own feeds.
A program to turn on, not another reading queue. Discover a story, open the original, or stay for the next report.
WATCH YOUR KINDLE LIBRARY
Sign into you Kindle account and read aloud your favorites with an animated presenter. (NOTE: Kindle page layout must be set to SINGLE COLUMN, or it will not sound right).
START WITH SIRI
Copy a link, an article passage, or a long AI response from another app. Then say:
“Hey Siri, Crunch broadcast.”
Import your source, create an outline, and watch an animated explanation with your current settings.
“Hey Siri, Crunch audiobook.”
Hear the full text, not a summary. Playback starts when narration is ready.
Nothing to copy? Say “Hey Siri, Crunch radio” to open Robot Radio, then choose a station and press Play. More Siri and Shortcuts actions open sources, start research, tune stations, and return to your last audiobook.
HEAR THE WHOLE STORY
Audiobook Mode reads the full text of articles, documents, and EPUBs with expressive on-device narration. Return to your saved place or move between sections. Your own reading becomes your listening library.
GO DEEPER. DIRECT THE EXPLANATION.
Ask questions about a source and follow available citations back to supporting passages. Explore Executive, Technical, and Study Guide modes, or use Focus Mode to investigate a particular question across the source.
Shape a briefing, study explanation, or product introduction through conversation. Change the tone, length, audience, or focus. Choose a response or transcript and press Broadcast.
KEEP THE VIDEO
Replay, save, or share your presenter-led segment with available source imagery. Keep a briefing, revisit an explanation, or share what you learned. Generation waits stay out of the finished video.
BRING YOUR SOURCES
Import articles, PDFs, EPUBs, text, feeds, and research papers. Find more with Discover Assistant and save sources for offline reading.
Supported sources include RSS, Atom, Medium, Substack, Ghost, WordPress, Wikipedia, arXiv, DOI, PubMed, LaTeX, Reddit, YouTube, and Vimeo. Available text, imagery, and transcripts vary by source.
ON-DEVICE AI. ONE PURCHASE.
Apple Intelligence powers summaries and research. Qwen generates speech locally. Mind’s Eye builds the animated presentation on your device—not a remote AI server.
No Crunch account required. No Crunch subscription. Your library stays on your device. You choose what to save and share.
A Liquid Glass workspace for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
AI summaries, research responses, and narration currently support English. Apple Intelligence features require compatible hardware with Apple Intelligence enabled. Online discovery, source retrieval, and publisher media require internet access. Publisher sign-ins and subscriptions may still apply. Check important AI-generated information against the original source.
I like the radio feature to listen to an overview of reports from multiple sources. The music that plays in between reports is so pleasant and calming. I like that there are multiple stations in the radio catalog that I can select when I want a break from the news, like arts and crafts, entertainment, sports, and space. It’s informative and entertaining at the same time. It’s a really nice way to passively enjoy a series of reports on the radio.
Your sources, now with a cast.
ROBOT RADIO, NOW ANIMATED
Mind’s Eye brings feed-based reports to the screen with animated presenters, layered sets, source imagery, and broadcast graphics. Choose a station and press Play, or build My Station around the publications you follow.
20 CHARACTERS. DISTINCT ON-DEVICE VOICES.
Choose from six visual styles or explore the cast with Shuffle. Qwen generates expressive narration locally, while color-changing captions follow the spoken word.
