Press play and hear a briefing built from your topics, ready at the time you choose. Your morning, in your ears, before you open anything else. Anchored turns the news into a personal audio briefing you can listen to with your eyes off the screen. Every morning, at the time you choose, your brief is waiting. Open the app, press play, and hear what matters to you. PERSONALIZED TO YOUR TOPICS Choose from topics like breaking news, technology, markets, climate, geopolitics, health, culture, and science, then go deeper with subtopics such as AI competition, the Fed and rates, energy transition, or space. Your briefing is assembled from your selections, not from a feed. DELIVERED WHEN YOU WANT IT Pick a delivery time. The length follows the topics you choose, so the app shows about how long your briefing runs as you pick. Your briefing is prepared overnight and a notification lets you know when it is ready. SPORTS, DONE PROPERLY Sports is its own segment. The day after games, each league starts with every final score, then the stories behind them. MADE FOR LISTENING A natural American voice reads every briefing, and a globe on the player turns to where each story is happening. Skip between story clusters, adjust playback speed, and control everything from the lock screen, Control Center, or your AirPods. Audio keeps playing in the background while you commute, walk, or make coffee. A CALM ARCHIVE, NOT A FEED History keeps your past briefings in a finite, reverse-chronological list. No streaks, no badges, no infinite scroll. WHAT TO KNOW Briefings are generated by automated language models from public news sources and may contain errors. Anchored requires a subscription, and it starts with a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase, or at the end of the free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Privacy Policy: https://hbkllabs.com/voice-briefing/privacy Terms of Use: https://hbkllabs.com/voice-briefing/terms
