The news in two minutes.
Twice a day.
A Morning Breef to start the day, an Evening Breef to wrap it up — every story cut to what actually matters. 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.
The feed
Scroll less. Know more.
A clean feed of what's happening — every story a tap from its summary, every source tinted by where it leans, and nothing engineered to keep you hooked.
Your feed
Tuned by you. Not for you.
Follow sources and topics, filter by category or bias, and hide the outlets you're done with. The feed focuses on what's relevant to you and buries nothing — every outlet is on by default, and only you can switch one off.
The reader
The gist first. A catch-up when you're back.
Open any story in Breefly's reader — an AI summary above the full article, with every outlet covering it a tap away. Come back to a developing story and a catch-up picks out what's changed since you read it.
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. Skim the gist of every story, or tap through to the full article when you want more.
Listen
Press play. The news reads itself.
Every Breef comes narrated. Play it like a podcast — while you make coffee, from your Lock Screen, story by story — with read-along text that keeps pace with the voice.
Every side
See who's covering it — and how they lean.
Open any story's coverage to find every outlet reporting it, tallied left, center, and right, under an AI summary of the coverage as a whole. And every source gets a profile: its bias rating, what it covers, how often it's first to report.
Reading Balance
Know your news diet.
Breefly keeps a running tally of what you actually read across the spectrum — the last 30 days at a glance, trends over 12 weeks, and the outlets you read most. No judgment, just the numbers.
