The news, read to you, while your hands are busy.
You have twenty-five minutes a day where you cannot read but you can listen — the commute, the treadmill, the kitchen. Shortify fills them with what was published this morning on the subjects you chose, and keeps going without being asked.
Today, not last Tuesday
A podcast is recorded, edited and published, and by the time it reaches you the story has moved. Shortify reads what was published this morning, because the deck is written minutes after the article is.
Your beat, not a front page
Pick the subjects you actually follow and that is what plays. Not the biggest story in the world — the biggest story in the thing you are paid to know about, or the thing you cannot stop reading about.
While your hands are busy
Driving, walking, the gym, the washing up. Two voices read the cards in turn, so it sounds like a conversation rather than a machine, and nothing needs a tap to keep going.
It keeps going until you stop it
When a story ends the next one starts, chosen to move you on rather than repeat the subject you just heard. It is a station for one person, and it stays on air until you turn it off.
Being straight with you
- The cards are written by AI from the original article, and AI gets things wrong. Every deck credits the newsroom and links the reporting — follow it for anything that matters.
- It is a summary read aloud, not a produced show. There are no interviews, no hosts and no analysis beyond what the article said.
- Narration is pre-rendered where we have it and read by your device where we do not, so the voice changes occasionally.
