The internet, without the loop. Built for people with things to do.
Two hours a day. Sometimes three. Weeks every year — and you have nothing to show for it.
But you don't want to quit. You'd miss things. You need to know what's happening. That's the trap, and it's working as designed.
Core gives you what matters, without the trap. Fifteen posts a day, hand-picked by editors. You read them. The app closes. You go do the thing you opened your phone to avoid.
That's the deal.
Curated daily by editors. When you finish, the feed closes. There is no infinite scroll. There is no "for you." There is no algorithm trying to keep you here.
Every story shows who reported it and where they land — center, left, right. You see the whole picture, not one side. Click any story to read it in full.
On Saturdays, the three themes that mattered this week — distilled into one read. Catch up on the patterns, not just the headlines.
Core runs on-device. We don't sell your data. We don't profile you for advertisers. We don't even know what you read.
The whole point of leaving the feed was to escape surveillance. We're not bringing it with us.
Beta opens this spring. We're letting people in gradually so we can listen to every wave before we send out the next one.
