Your first edition

The four areas of the app, keyboard shortcuts, and how an edition is put together.

The four areas

Area Key What it does
Today 1 Your daily edition: the stories that matter to you, with why each is there. Update edition rebuilds it.
Explore 2 Search everything stored, discover stories beyond your edition, browse by topic, and ask questions answered only from stored reports.
Saved 3 Stories you marked to read later. They sync to your phone.
Settings 4 Topics, edition, schedule, AI providers, sources, sync and data.

Other keys: ? lists every shortcut, / jumps to search, j and k move between stories.

Why a story is in your edition

Every story carries a short, plain reason, for example:

  • Reported by 4 independent outlets: several outlets that are not copies of one wire story covered it.
  • Matches your top topic: it fits the topic you weighted highest.
  • Included to keep your topics balanced: the edition avoids being all one subject.
  • Single source: only one outlet reported it, and the story says so.

The edition is ranked by importance, your topic weights, recency and diversity. You can dismiss a story, save it, or rebuild the whole edition at any time. Today always shows when it was last built.

Make it yours

  • Topics: turn Geopolitics, AI & Technology, Science & Space, Economics and Good News on or off, and set their weight.
  • Edition: size, the balance of positive news, and hiding stories you have already seen.
  • Appearance: Light is the default on every system. Dark and System are your choice. Reduce transparency turns frosted glass into solid surfaces.

Written explanations need an AI provider: see AI providers.
