Introduction to Cinnamon News
Cinnamon is the first news app that adapts to your emotional state. Traditional news is written to grab attention, not to inform thoughtfully. Cinnamon rewrites the same stories in different tones based on how you're feeling — stressed, curious, energized, or something custom. This approach ensures that the news is delivered in a way that aligns with your current mood and needs.
The goal of Cinnamon is to provide a more thoughtful and personalized news experience. By focusing on emotional context, it helps users avoid the anxiety and overwhelm often associated with traditional news consumption. The app emphasizes factual accuracy while tailoring the tone of each article to match the user's emotional state, making the news more accessible and less stressful.

How Cinnamon Works
Cinnamon operates through a simple and intuitive process:
- Start where you are: Users can select from six preset moods or create their own. This sets the emotional context for how news is delivered.
- Focus on what matters: Users can choose the topics they want to follow, such as tech, health, sports, or local news. Cinnamon filters out irrelevant content, ensuring that only the most relevant stories reach the user.
- Same facts. A tone that fits: Each article is rewritten to match the selected mood, preserving the core facts while adjusting the tone to be more calming, motivating, or neutral as needed.
- Reflect and understand: Users can listen to articles using natural-sounding voices, journal their thoughts, and track their mood patterns over time. This helps them understand how news affects their emotional state and make more informed choices about their media consumption.
