Focused FM radio streaming

Develop a minimalist FM radio app that removes clutter and focuses on station discovery. Curate local stations with quality metadata.

Why now

Radio streaming apps have become bloated with features while neglecting core discovery of local stations.

Who for
Local radio listeners
Business model
Premium features
Effort
A few weeks

Listeners wanting local radio contend with apps full of podcasts, playlists and premium features that bury simple station browsing.

Build a clean interface that surfaces local FM stations with accurate metadata (genres, languages) and easy favorites system, stripping out non-radio features.

Monetize through premium features like recording and removing occasional ads rather than overwhelming users.

Launch with basic streaming and station directory for one region before expanding metadata coverage.

Risk: Small differentiator from built-in radio features on most phones already.
