⌚️ Saved by his Apple Watch

🔮 Purple Horizons Dispatch

Hey there, Explorers!

Ever dream of unplugging and spending a tech-free day at the beach or in the mountains? After reading about the guy saved by his Apple Watch, you may want to think again.

In this issue, we dive into that rescue story and explore balancing our tech addiction. From nailing the perfect playlist while you play to an almost-analog way to capture thoughts (without your phone) and a super cool escape for tech lovers like us.

Here’s what’s happening…

🗞️ TECH & TRENDS | News & More

🎧 Your personal DJ awaits—Your music, your way | YouTube Music is testing a new feature that lets you use AI to generate a custom playlist by describing exactly what you want to hear. They’re also rolling out a ‘hum to search’ feature on Android and iPhone that will come in handy when you can’t remember the words or title of a song. Time to get creative!

⌚️ Saved by his Apple Watch | A surfer dragged half a mile from shore after being caught in a rip current remembered that he could use his Apple Watch to call emergency services. An hour later, he was rescued by helicopter! You may want to reconsider completely disconnecting from tech the next time you head out to the beach.

☮️ I’m a tech hippie, man! | This tech journalist has found his personal path toward using more sustainable and durable tech products while ditching free, industry-standard platforms like Gmail and Google Search. One major benefit? Owning your data…

🚿 Stop forgetting those GREAT ideas while in the shower | Meet CRUSH: A purpose-built AI voice-to-text recorder that makes it a breeze to quickly capture and organize thoughts, ideas, and conversations—even while you’re in the shower! The Kickstarter campaign for CRUSH has already met its goal, so we’ll be seeing this product come to life really soon!

🧑‍🚀 Got $184K to spare? | Several startups are building balloons to hoist tourists 100,000 feet into the stratosphere—as close as you’ll likely ever get to space without formal “astronaut” training. The balloon rides will last around 6 hours and, of course, will feature a bar and a bathroom, just in case. You in?
