Question 1 of 11

01

How old are you?

The news app
that grows with you.

One place to read the news, understand it, and talk about it. AI summaries, a daily briefing, per-article discussions, and a community behind every story. Built for the generation that left the news — and the one that never stopped caring.

News today is fragmented, exhausting, and optimized for engagement, not understanding.

A generation has left the news, and nobody built them a replacement. Pulse is built for the way people actually read now.

Without transparency, without sources, without depth — but at least they're talking. Pulse brings the conversation to journalism, not just the feed.

apps it takes to feel informed today

News is scattered across newsletters, feeds, podcasts and paywalls. Pulse collapses that into one calm surface — where reading it and discussing it happen in the same place.

One app
for every age, from 8 to 80

News Levels replace age-gates. A 13-year-old can grow into adult reading; anyone can dial it gentler on a hard day.

News Levels

One story. Reshaped for who's reading.

The same news written at your level, on your terms. Progress by reading across sources.

  • One briefing that replaces five
Features

Everything you want. Nothing that doesn't belong.

AI summaries, written like a human

Every story gets a one-sentence headline, a two-sentence summary, and a tap-to-expand “Why it matters”, so you can skim smart or go deep on your schedule.

Bias, visible.

A live left-to-right meter on every article, with a list of every outlet covering the story. Perspective is a feature, not a pop-up.

Daily video briefing

A personalized three-minute video recap of the day, generated fresh each morning. Your commute, your headphones, your news.

The room behind every story

Every article opens a room. Read, react, leave your take, reply to others. Opinions follow the story — not the algorithm, not the rage cycle. A poll underneath every article tells you where readers actually stand.

A loop that actually brings you back

Streaks, XP, a daily quiz, and Bubl cheering you on. Reading the news can feel like levelling up — we borrowed that mechanic from the app that proved it works, and built it around journalism instead of grammar drills.

Ask follow-up questions. Get sourced answers.

Tap “Ask” on any story to dig deeper. Answers are grounded in the article and linked back to the original reporting. You can always see the opposing view to judge critically.

The daily loop

Open it once. Leave it smarter.

  1. 01

    Your morning briefing plays.

    A three-minute video of what matters, made for your level.

  2. 02

    A calm feed, one story at a time.

    Summaries, sources, bias, context — no infinite scroll.

  3. 03

    Leave your take. Hear the room.

    Source-linked follow-ups and a community that reacts to the same stories you're reading.

  4. 04

    Finish with a quiz. Keep the streak.

    Three questions, fifty XP, and Bubl doing a little dance.

A note from the founder

I grew up between two countries and a dozen social media apps. All were made with the same need: create an addictive loop, and revenue for social media. When I adopted a time limit on apps in my phone, I realized I was left out of news. I didn't know what was going on around me. Now I fixed it.
