Pick a hero. Fable proposes the whole story - where it happens, what goes wrong, how it turns. Change anything that isn't right, and it's written and illustrated in minutes. Tap Listen and it's narrated in seconds. Creating stories is free. Unlimited. No trial, no catch. NEW: A COMMUNITY FEED WORTH BROWSING The Community Feed is now arranged on shelves: Story of the Week, New This Week, Popular Right Now, Quick Listens, and shelves by mood and genre, from Cozy Bedtime Listens to Mysteries. Shelves follow the age range you choose. Open a story and More Like This shows you what to listen to next. IF YOU BUILD WORLDS Cast a hero, drop them somewhere impossible, and hand them a problem worth solving. Setting, twist and trouble all arrive as suggestions you can overwrite. Three-chapter journeys let a character carry a desire, a flaw and a love across a real arc. Search your whole cast by name or trait - build forty heroes and actually reuse them. IF YOU WRITE TO THINK Some stories are how you work something out. Start from a blank page with Craft Your Own: Fable asks, you answer, and the story is yours line by line. Leave mid-draft and come back - unfinished stories wait for you on the Still Writing shelf. HOW A STORY GETS MADE 1. Pick a hero. Create opens on your cast - or choose one of ours. 2. Read the proposal: the setting, what's strange about it, how your hero feels, the trouble, the twist. 3. Change any option. Change one and everything after it is proposed again. 4. Choose one story, or a three-chapter journey. 5. Write it. It arrives illustrated. Tap Listen to hear it narrated. A NEW HERO IN TWO QUESTIONS Answer two things - or tap Surprise Me - and Fable returns three finished heroes, each with a name, a personality, a skill and a portrait. Keep the one you want. Want to answer all seven questions yourself? That door is still open. CAST & CREATE Browse the Character Library and cast a ready-made hero straight into your story, each with their own quirks, strengths and flaws. Free heroes are yours to use any time. Premium heroes cost 1 token each time you cast them. WHAT HAPPENS TO A STORY YOU SHARE Publish to the Community Feed and readers can find it on the shelves within about a minute. Turn on notifications and we'll tell you when it gets its first listener, and again as the listens add up. The stories that stop us become illustrated shorts on our YouTube channel and narrated episodes on our podcast, and some characters become heroes others can cast. Story of the Week puts one in front of everyone, and we tell the person who wrote it. IMAGINE IT. HEAR IT. SHARE IT. - Stories start playing in seconds and keep going when you lock your phone - 75+ expressive voices (subscriber feature): narration that sounds human - Share with friends or to the Community Feed, free, or keep it on your private bookshelf - Every story you hear saves to My Library to replay free, even offline - Daily streaks earn bonus Trail Tokens HOW TOKENS WORK Writing is always free and always unlimited, and so is sharing. Tokens are only for extras: hearing a story narrated (2 tokens, then replays are free), listening to a Community Feed story (2 tokens, then it's yours), unlocking a journey's next chapter early, keeping an extra hero candidate, and casting a premium character. New adventurers start with 3 free tokens. One-time token bundles and monthly subscriptions are both available - subscriptions include the full expressive voice library.

Turn any song into a boxing workout. Tempo Boxing watches your punches through the front camera and spawns targets on the beat of whatever music you're already playing — your Spotify queue, a YouTube mix, the gym's overhead speakers, a friend's Bluetooth speaker, a live DJ set, a rehearsal room full of drums. No playlist integration, no pairing, no setup. If you can hear it, the app can sync to it. HOW IT WORKS Prop up your phone. Start the music. Throw hands. The front camera tracks your fists in real time using Apple's Vision framework. The microphone listens for the beat. Targets appear on screen in rhythm — kick drums, snares, hooks — and your job is to punch them before they fade. Combos stack. Missed beats cost you. Your heart rate does the rest. FOUR WAYS TO TRAIN Punching Only — No music, no pressure. Freeform drills and warm-ups. Targets appear one at a time; punch when you're ready. Beat Workout — The main event. Play anything on any speaker and the app syncs targets to every beat it hears. Works with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, the radio, a live DJ — literally anything audible. Beat Workout 2x — Same live-mic setup, but targets land on the beat AND between beats. Double density, double intensity. You'll gas out faster than you think. Your Own Song — Import a track and the app pre-analyzes it once, choreographing a perfect target map to that exact song. Same track, same workout, every time. Perfect for repeat drills with your favorite hype music. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Works with any music source — no login, no pairing, no integrations needed • Runs 100% on-device — camera frames and mic audio never leave your phone • No accounts, no ads, no subscriptions, no paywalls • No equipment — no wraps, no bag, no wearables, no Apple Watch required • Private by design — nothing is recorded, uploaded, or shared WHO IT'S FOR Fighters looking for a quick cardio round between sets. Runners who need a rainy-day alternative. Office workers who need to punch something at 6pm. Anyone who's ever shadowboxed to a good song and wished the song would punch back. Put your phone down. Stand six feet away. Hit play.
