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 iCloud-derived identifier. We don't see your name, email, or contacts, and we don't use your data for ads or analytics. Full details 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.
