## What is Mara FM?

Mara turns the news you care about into your own daily radio show.

Every day, Mara prepares a personalized audio episode made just for you — a short, listenable digest of the topics, stories, and voices you actually want to hear. No endless scrolling, no noise. Just press play.

WHY MARA
• A radio show of one — every episode is generated around your interests
• Made for your day — listen on your commute, at the gym, or over coffee
• Always fresh — a new episode is ready for you each day
• You're in control — shape what you hear with a simple chat

HOW IT WORKS
1. Tell Mara what you want to hear more — or less — of.
2. Mara prepares a personalized episode just for you.
3. Press play and listen. Come back tomorrow for a fresh one.

FEATURES
• Personalized daily episodes built around your profile

• Request a new episode whenever you want one
• A player made for listening — real waveform, 15-second skips, speed from 0.8× to 2×
• Chapters and a full transcript, with links to the original sources
• Keep browsing while you listen — the mini player follows you
• Like or dislike an episode to shape what comes next
• Collections — save episodes into folders of your own, named and coloured how you like
• Saved keeps your liked, shared and finished episodes in one place
• Share a whole episode, a single story, or the exact moment you are on
• Tell Mara what you thought of an episode, right where you finished it
• Short listens to start with, while your first full episode is being made
• Downloaded episodes keep playing when the signal does not

Mara is your personal audio companion for staying informed — on your terms, in your time.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-24

Signing in is simpler, and there is more to keep.

• Sign in with a link, with Apple, or with Google — no password to remember, and none to lose
• Collections: save any episode into a folder of your own, name it, give it a colour, and browse it later
• Saved keeps Liked, Shared and Heard together, so the episode you half-remember is one tap away
• Something to listen to before your first episode is ready, and a waiting screen that tells you honestly how far along it is
• Tell us what you thought of an episode, right where you finished it
• Share a whole episode, a single story, or the exact moment you are on
• Offline: episodes you have downloaded keep playing when the signal does not

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-25

A big visual refresh and a much steadier player.

• Redesigned home and player — new typography, a real audio waveform, and a cleaner episode card
• New mini player: keep browsing your episodes while the current one keeps playing
• Chapters and full transcript — tap any line to jump to that moment, with links to the original sources
• Like or dislike an episode to shape what Mara makes next
• Share a whole episode, or just the moment you're listening to
• Notifications now open the episode they're about, even from a cold start
• Playback is far more reliable: no more freezing when a fresh episode is still being generated, finished episodes restart cleanly, and you resume exactly where you stopped
• The lock screen now shows the story headline instead of the raw title

### 1.0 — 2026-08-24
