Add a topic, pick a cadence, get summaries. That's it.

Pick a cadence
Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Each topic has its own schedule.

Built on top-tier AI
Two complementary engines for every topic, so you see both the long-form research view and the live conversation.
Research summary
Powered by Perplexity Sonar — fresh web search results synthesized with inline citations you can click.
X post summary
Powered by xAI Grok — what people are actually saying on X about the topic right now, with linked sources.
iCloud-synced
Topics, schedules, and summaries sync to your private iCloud database — across all your iOS devices.
Pricing
A typical topic update costs ~1,000 credits. Buy what you need, when you need it. No subscriptions.
FAQ
Quick answers to common questions.
Why credits instead of a subscription?
AI calls cost real money, and different topics burn different amounts depending on how much the model has to research. Credits track actual usage, so a topic you check yearly costs you almost nothing while a topic you watch hourly is metered transparently. No surprise bills, no auto-renew.
What kinds of topics work best?
Anything where you'd benefit from a periodic recap — emerging tech, market trends, public-company news, scientific developments, hobbies, public-figure activity. The more specific you write it, the more focused the summary.
Is my data private?
Yes. We only store your topics, schedules, and summaries — bound to an anonymous account identifier. We don't see your name, email, or contacts, and we don't use your app data for ads or analytics. This public website records aggregate page counts and coarse referral classes without cookies or visitor identifiers. Full details are on the privacy page.
What if a scheduled update fails?
If the AI provider rate-limits or errors, the app retries with exponential backoff. You aren't charged credits for failed updates.
