What is Junco?
Junco is an iOS app that turns your email newsletters into AI-generated podcast episodes you can listen to on the go.
How does Junco work?
Connect your Gmail account or use the personal Junco inbox address you're given at signup. Each morning Junco fetches new newsletters, summarizes them with AI, and narrates each one in a natural-sounding voice right on your iPhone, so episodes are ready to play the moment they land. You'll get a notification when it's your turn to listen.
Do I need to connect Gmail?
No. Every Junco account comes with a personal inbox address (you@listen.tryjunco.com). You can subscribe to newsletters using that address, no Gmail required.
How much does Junco cost?
New accounts get 3 sample episodes for free, no credit card required. After that, Junco Plus starts with a 7-day free trial, then $3.99 a month, and you can cancel anytime from the App Store. A yearly plan is coming soon.
How is Junco different from Meco?
Meco is a newsletter reader. Junco is a complete consumption platform built audio-first, daily podcast episodes, a full podcast player with offline downloads and lock-screen controls, mixtape episodes, premium voices that render right on your iPhone, a 100+ newsletter discovery catalog you can subscribe to without sharing your email, and a reading view on the roadmap. For most people who subscribe to a lot of newsletters, the bottleneck isn't the reading experience, it's finding eyes-on-screen time at all. Audio is the unlock, and Junco is built end-to-end for that.
What platforms does Junco support?
Junco is currently iOS-only (iOS 17 and later). Android and web clients are on the roadmap.
Can I read a PDF out loud in the browser?
Yes. Junco Reader (read.tryjunco.com) is a free browser tool that narrates PDFs, text, and Markdown with on-device Kokoro voices. Your documents stay in the browser. The iOS app remains focused on turning your newsletters into a daily podcast.
Your newsletters are waiting.
