HeadlineBuzz is built natively in SwiftUI, making the most of every iOS platform feature — from Dynamic Island awareness to Dynamic Type for accessibility. Six handcrafted themes let you set the exact mood for your reading session.

  • Six curated themes

    System, Light, Dark, Sepia, Midnight, and Gray — each meticulously tuned for long reading sessions.

  • Glassmorphic UI

    Translucent panels, depth-layered cards, and liquid-glass backgrounds that feel alive.

  • Dynamic Type

    Every text element scales with your system font size settings, making it fully accessible.

  • Smooth animations

    Spring physics, fade transitions, and micro-interactions make every tap feel satisfying.
