My Daily Brief1.4.0 - App Store

Not your ordinary podcast player. My Daily Brief always gets you the latest episode, alongside weather, calendar, reminders, and horoscopes.

My Daily Brief turns the updates you care about into one listenable routine-podcasts, spoken weather and weekend outlooks, today’s calendar and reminders, and a daily horoscope, organized into playlists built around your life.

Whether you’re getting ready in the morning, driving to work, or winding down at night, My Daily Brief keeps you current without scrolling through apps.

BUILD YOUR BRIEFINGS

Morning commute, weekend catch-up, or a daily reset-create playlists for the moments that matter and fill them with:

. Podcasts - The latest from the shows you follow, from search and top charts to any RSS feed
. Weather - Spoken daily forecasts and weekend outlooks for the places that matter to you
. Calendar - Spoken summaries of what’s ahead on the calendars you choose
. Reminders - Open tasks from your lists, filtered your way
. Horoscope - A spoken daily reading for your sign

Each item can be tuned on its own, so your briefing stays fresh without constant babysitting.

HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE

My Daily Brief adapts to how you listen-not the other way around. Fine-tune each podcast or spoken report on its own:

. Podcasts - How many episodes per briefing, feed update frequency, download vs. stream, playback speed, skip behavior, start offset, and streaming pre-buffer size
. Weather, calendar, reminders, and horoscope - Detailed or concise reports, optional weekday or weekend schedules, and how soon the same briefing can play again
. Playback - Heard vs. skipped thresholds, customizable skip buttons on iPhone and CarPlay, playback speed, and optional playlist completion summaries
. Sync and backup - Auto sync on launch, scheduled background refresh, network timeout and retry settings, and optional iCloud backup of your library configuration

DESIGNED FOR LISTENING, NOT STARING AT A SCREEN

. CarPlay - Your briefing on the dashboard, ready for the drive
. Lock Screen and Now Playing - Full iOS playback controls while you multitask
. Home Screen widgets - One-tap access to the playlists you use most
. Smart Playlists - Create smart playlists that appear only at specific times and on selected days.
