Shroomie is an AI-powered news app that makes reading fun, effortless and habit-forming. Every story is bite-sized and interactive, and every day you read, you grow a mushroom garden — turning daily news into a game. AI handles everything behind the scenes, from sourcing stories and generating visuals to personalizing your feed.
Every news product we tried was solving what to show us, not how it felt to read.
AI has given us smarter curation and better summaries, but the reading experience remains fundamentally... boring to us.
So we asked: what if reading the news actually felt fun?
Shroomie makes news bite-sized and interactive. We designed an immersive flow where you can effortlessly skim through your feed, react, and deep dive on topics of your interest.
Every day you read, you grow a mushroom garden. We believe the best habits aren't built through discipline — they're built through play. After every session, you walk away with something real: a garden that grew, and a mind that did too.
AI powers everything behind the scenes — sourcing stories, generating visuals and summaries, and deep-dive research. A personalization engine combines ML and LLMs to curate a feed tailored to each reader.
Check us out on App Store! This is our v1, and we're shaping what comes next with early adopters. Try it and let us know what you'd change!
