Everything a reader needs

Built for reading. Tuned for you.

No endless identical list, no robotic narration, no cloud profile of your habits. Just the news, laid out like a magazine that happens to know you.

Flip reader

Swipe through full-bleed covers, briefings and spreads. A layout engine composes every page — never an endless identical list.

Reader mode

Full-text extraction finds the real article and strips the junk — nav bars, popups, share rails — even when a feed only carries a headline.

Human read-aloud

Natural ElevenLabs voices with a real listen queue, lock-screen controls and gapless auto-advance. No system-voice fallback, by design.

For You, privately

An on-device taste model learns from what you read and finish. Nothing about your reading leaves the phone for ranking.

Your sources

69 curated publications across the world's desks — plus your own RSS. Feed-less sites get resolved into feeds automatically.

Offline everything

Download stories with their audio. Read and listen on the plane, in the tunnel, off the grid — no connection required.

Reading

A magazine, not a feed.

Every story opens clean. Nuzio's on-device reader mode finds the real article inside the webpage — and quietly throws the rest away.

Full-bleed flip reader. Cover, kicker, headline and dek melt into the page — flip for the next story.

Reader-mode extraction. Finds the real content block and strips nav, share bars, scripts and cookie prompts.

Typography that respects you. A wrap-around drop cap, adjustable text size, and a calm, even measure.

Sections & topics. A spine of section pills; pick interests once and the feed is tuned from first launch.

The quiet rise of fusion startups

The Verge · 4 min read · Listen 4:32

For decades, fusion was the punchline of energy research — forever thirty years away. This year, private capital stopped laughing. Three startups crossed milestones once reserved for national labs, and the money followed.

The bet is no longer whether a reactor can ignite, but who can make ignition boring, repeatable and cheap.

Tap play — this one works.

Listening

News that reads itself. Beautifully.

Every story can be read aloud by a natural, human-quality ElevenLabs voice. If it can't sound good, it doesn't play — there is no robotic fallback, by design.

A real listen queue. Queue a story or a whole section; synthesis runs ahead so playback is gapless.

Lock-screen Now Playing. Artwork, scrubber, −15/+30 skips and track controls from Control Center.

Voices per language. Multilingual voices with sensible defaults for English and Malay — override per language if you like.

Instant when it matters. Downloaded and cached stories start playing immediately — even offline.

For You

It learns you. It never tells.

A private affinity model lives on your iPhone and learns from what you read, finish and listen to. It ranks your For You feed locally — your reading history is never uploaded to rank you.

Seeded by you. Pick a few topics at onboarding and the feed is tuned from the very first launch.

Refined by behavior. Finishing a story counts more than opening one; listening counts too.

Ranked on-device. The model, the signals and the scores never leave your phone.

Digests, not noise

A morning and an evening briefing, and then silence. Quiet hours are built in — Nuzio never pings you at 2 a.m.

Privacy

Your taste stays yours.

Nuzio works fully without an account. The parts that make it feel personal are exactly the parts that never leave your phone.

Ranking runs on-device

Feeds are fetched and ranked locally. What you read, skip and finish trains a model that exists only on your iPhone.

Keys live in the Keychain

API keys are never shipped in the app bundle; speech synthesis is fronted by our server so secrets stay server-side.

Accounts are optional

Sign in with Apple, Google or email only if you want saves and preferences synced. That's all an account ever carries.

Under the hood

From the open web to a calm page.

Six quiet steps run every time you open the app — most of them on your phone.

69 curated feeds, plus anything you follow.
