A quiet app for people who still believe in reading with intention.
In a world designed to keep you scrolling, The Daily Gist does the opposite. Save articles throughout your day. Each one gets an instant AI summary — the gist — so you know what you're saving and why. At 7 PM, everything you've collected becomes your evening edition: a single, beautiful page that looks the way good reading should feel.
Browse trending articles from BBC, NYT, The Guardian, Washington Post, NPR, Wired, Ars Technica, Financial Times, Bloomberg, AP News, and many more — all inside the app. Save what resonates with one tap. Every article gets an instant AI summary. No switching between apps, no paywalled aggregators. Just the journalism you care about, gathered in one place.
Every article you save can be public or private. Public articles appear in your shareable daily edition. Private saves stay between you and your reading list. Change visibility anytime. Your curation, your rules.
At 7 PM, everything becomes a single, quiet page. Share your edition via link — anyone can read it, no account needed. A beautiful, unhurried summary of your day's reading.
Follow people whose reading taste matches yours. Their daily editions appear on your home screen. Save articles from their editions to your own gist. Discover through people, not algorithms.
Four moments across your day
Share articles to Daily Gist from Safari or any app — one tap, no interruption. Or browse 30+ news sources inside the app: BBC, NYT, The Guardian, Wired, Bloomberg, AP News, and more. Articles span Business, Tech, Science, Health, Arts, and Sports.
The moment you save, AI reads the article and writes a newspaper-style summary — two or three crisp sentences. Enough to remember why you saved it.
A gentle notification. Your personal evening edition awaits — beautifully formatted, unhurried, yours. Share your edition via link with anyone. No advertising. No tracking. Just the reading you chose.
Browse editions from curators you follow. Share your own edition with friends. Choose which articles to keep public or private. Build a reading streak. Revisit past editions in your archive.
In the age of infinite content, curation is the ultimate act of taste. What you choose to read — and what you choose to share — says more about you than anything you could write.
