A whole new way to experience audio

Anchor makes it super easy for anyone to hear, share, and create interactive streams of audio called stations. It’s like radio, but bite-sized, interactive, addictive, and way more fun.

Make audio on the go. In addition to effortless, telephone-mode recording, Anchor gives you the ability to add full length tracks from Apple Music or Spotify, pull in external audio clips, and add high quality interludes from world-class musicians and sound designers. It’s like having every audio production tool you could ever want in your pocket.

Amazing, addictive audio. Hear all sorts of great stations on Anchor, hosted by fascinating people you can’t hear anywhere else: from scientists and musicians, to political experts and comedians, to some of the most well-known outlets and publications on the planet. Whatever you’re into, there’s probably an Anchor station dedicated to it.

A whole new format for listening. Anchor brings the beloved Stories format to audio, and is full of innovative, audio-first features that enable true lean-back listening. For example: love something you’re listening to? Instead of “liking" a segment in Anchor, you can actually applaud it (and if your phone is locked and in your pocket, you can applaud just by knocking on the back of your phone). You kind of have to see it (and hear it) to believe it.
