Help & contact: support.
Is it free?
Yes, you can try it for free. It is currently in beta. No account is needed.
Is the app in English?
Yes, on iPhone and iPad: the screens are in English unless your device’s first language is Japanese. The Android test build is in Japanese for now. Choose English as your reading language, and summaries and on-device translations come in English.
Can I read news from other countries in my language?
Headlines and descriptions can be translated into your reading language on the device (tap “Translate” on the card; the text never leaves your device). For stories reported by several sites, headlines from foreign-language sites are also translated and listed (iPhone / iPad version). To summarize stories covered only by foreign-language sites, set up an external AI with your own API key. This is a summary, not a full translation. The article content is sent directly to the AI provider you set up, which may charge separately.
Can I use it on a device without on-device AI?
Yes. You can read articles without summaries. If you set up your own API key, you can also use summaries from an external AI. In that case, the content of the articles to summarize is sent to that AI provider.
Are reading records sent during testing?
During the test period, records of the cards you read (article URLs, time spent, and similar) are sent to the developer's server. The public version will not send them. See the Privacy Policy for details.
How do I install it?
iPhone / iPad via TestFlight, Android as an APK. The steps and how to contact us are on the support page.
