## What is Slowire?

Catch up on everything you follow at a glance, in one calm line that moves on its own. Slowire turns the sites, podcasts, and channels you choose into a news ticker for your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Follow sites, podcasts, YouTube channels, and Bluesky or Mastodon accounts: paste a link, search a name, or pick one of nearly 200 topic packs
2. Add the Slowire widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen
3. Glance whenever you like: new stories step by on their own, and a tap opens the one you want

SLOWIRE PRO
Free covers 15 sources, every widget, weather, podcasts, and local events and road closures near your places (road closures in many US states), and each widget can show its own topics or sources. Pro follows as many sources as you like and watches web pages for changes. Choose an annual subscription with a free first week for new subscribers, or a one-time purchase. Family Sharing is included.

FEATURES
- Small and medium widgets, a Lock Screen widget, and StandBy
- Apple Watch app with complications
- Desk ticker: turn your iPhone sideways for a big clock and the line
- New, Today, This Week, Events, and Highlights views
- Weather and severe weather alerts for your places
- News, analysis, and SEC filings for US stocks
- New podcast episodes open in the podcast app you choose
- No account, no tracking, and no third-party ads; syncs with iCloud

For anyone who wants to stay informed without getting lost in the scroll.
