The news in two minutes.
From every side.
A Morning Breef to start the day and an Evening Breef to wrap it up — every story cut to the gist, every outlet rated left to right. Read it, or press play and just listen.
News apps are designed to keep you scrolling. Breefly is designed to keep you informed — every story trimmed to the gist, every source rated for bias, every Breef narrated. Catching up takes minutes, not hours.
Inside the app
Five tabs. Everything in reach.
Your feed, a Discover tab full of scores and games, everything you've read, everything you've saved, and a search that answers questions.
Every side
See who covered it, who had it first — and who didn't.
Open any story's coverage for every outlet reporting it, tallied left, center, and right. Watch how it spread, from the outlet that broke it to the last to pick it up. And Blindspots flag the stories one side of the spectrum isn't covering at all.
Morning & Evening Breef
Start caught up. Stay caught up.
Twice a day, Breefly gathers the stories that matter into one Breef — a tight rundown you can read in two minutes, waiting at the top of your feed and on your Home Screen.

The reader
The gist first. A catch-up when you're back.

When you open it
The gist, first

While you're away
The story keeps moving
New reports keep landing, and your feed and History count how many came in since you read it.
When you're back
Only what changed
A catch-up picks out what the new coverage adds — since you saved it, or since you last read it.
