What's in the box
Six parts. No filler.
A reader, not a feed. Everything below ships in the same free app, works without an account, and keeps its data on your devices.
01Today
An edition, not a feed.
A short, balanced list ranked by importance, your topic weights, recency and diversity. Every story says why it is there, so nothing appears for reasons you cannot see.
- A plain-language reason on every story
- Dismiss, save, or rebuild the edition
- Shows exactly when it was last built
- Single-source stories are labelled as such
02Reader
Cited down to the sentence.
What happened, why it matters, where sources differ, background and what is still uncertain. Click any citation to see the outlet, the headline and the link.
- Numbered citations on every statement
- "Where sources differ" is a section, not a footnote
- "How this story was checked" shows model and checks
- Originals are always one click away
03Explore
Search, discover, ask.
Local full-text search across everything stored, discovery beyond your edition, topic pages, and questions answered only from stored reports, with citations or an honest "the reports do not cover that".
- Instant local search, no server involved
- Generate & Open writes a story on demand
- Questions keep their history and evidence
- Needs two independent outlets to write a story
04Schedule
Your briefing, on your clock.
Build the edition at a time and on days you choose. Daylight-saving aware, catches up if the app opens late, and keeps a log of every run.
- Pick the time and the days
- Catch-up within 20 hours
- A log of every run
- Writing on a schedule is a separate opt-in
05Sync
Desktop and iPhone, no server.
Sync through a folder you already have: iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Syncthing. Saved stories and topic choices go both ways; keys and providers never leave the computer.
- Any folder both devices can see
- Saved stories and topics sync both ways
- Phone is honest about how old its edition is
- Local morning reminder on iPhone
06Safety
Your data survives you.
Daily backups, a backup before every upgrade, restore from the app, recovery from a damaged file, retention you set, and delete-my-data. Crash reports stay on your computer.
- Integrity check at every start
- Backups: daily, before upgrades and restores
- Damaged files are moved aside, never deleted
- Local crash reports, no telemetry
