Aaven picks up where "just read the headlines" stops working. Choose the topics and sources you care about — Top Stories, Tech, Business, World, Science, Health, Sports, plus daily extras like Wikipedia's "On This Day" and Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day — and Aaven fetches, summarizes, and reads them aloud entirely on-device. No accounts, no logins, no tracking.Aaven picks up where "just read the headlines" stops working.

How it works
On first launch, you pick at least one category or source — Aaven never fetches anything until you explicitly enable a source. From there, tapping Refresh pulls fresh headlines directly from each publisher's own public RSS feed, summarizes each story to your preferred depth, and reads it aloud in a natural voice while you commute, walk, cook, or do chores.
Free tier
The free tier includes a curated daily sample of top stories and daily extras with natural-sounding narration — no account, no sign-up, no credit card required to try it.
Aaven Plus
Aaven Plus unlocks unlimited sources and categories so you can build a fully personal briefing, premium neural voices for more natural-sounding narration, offline caching so briefings are ready before you lose signal, and deeper playback customization (speed, sleep timer, per-category settings).
Design principles
Aaven is built around one rule: every network fetch traces back to an explicit action you took this session — never a background timer, never a silent refresh. Nothing is fetched just because time passed or the app came to the foreground. That also means no tracking and no ad SDKs — the only network calls are to the publishers' own RSS feeds you chose to enable, plus on-device processing for summarization and narration wherever your hardware supports it.
