Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Dmytro, founder of The Masthead.
I built this because keeping up with the news became absurd — five apps open, three paywalls hit, articles in two languages, and after 20 minutes I still didn't know what was actually happening in the world. Most "AI news" tools fix one slice of the problem (summarization, or curation, or translation), never the whole stack.
The Masthead does the whole loop:
• **World news, in your language.** Follow any feed — NYT, Le Monde, Spiegel, Kyiv Independent, anything with RSS — and AI rewrites each brief in the language you want to read. 12 languages on day one.
• **Wake up to an audio briefing.** A personalized Morning Briefing built from your feed, narrated in your language, plays while you make coffee. Any article can be read aloud too.
• **Go deep when you want.** Tap a story for an AI deep-dive: context, why it matters, multiple perspectives — then ask follow-ups in chat.
• **Podcasts you'd never finish, in 2–4 minutes.** Follow any show, get spoken AI summaries of hour-long episodes in your language. Background playback included.
• **Track topics over time.** Custom Story Arcs follow a thread (a war, an election, a company) across sources, automatically.
Free to start, no signup wall before you see the feed.
Two things I'd genuinely love feedback on:
1. Languages you wish were supported but aren't yet.
2. Sources or podcasts you can't find — drop them here and I'll add them today.
— Dmytro
Great experience. This app become #1 in my morning routine, replaced social media in a way.
