## Description

New: cited summaries + live X posts on any topic you follow — on the cadence you set. Pay-as-you-go credits never expire. No subscription.

You have a list of topics you care about — SpaceX launches, OpenAI rumors, central bank policy, a competitor's product launches. Getting a current read on any of them means opening four tabs, scrolling past noise, and still wondering what you missed on X.

Research Radar does the reading for you, on a schedule you set.

WHAT YOU GET

AI Research Summary
Perplexity Sonar searches the live web and synthesizes a 200-word briefing for your topic:
• Fresh results — not cached, not last week's headlines
• Inline citations — every claim links to its source
• Scheduled delivery: daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly
• On-demand update anytime with a swipe

X Post Summary
xAI Grok scans what people are actually saying on X right now:
• Real-time social pulse, not news wire aggregation
• Useful for topics where the discussion moves faster than the articles
• Runs in parallel with the research summary, same update

Push Notifications
When a summary is ready, a notification arrives with a preview sentence:
• Tap to open the full summary directly
• No badge counts, no inbox — just the topics you defined

iCloud Sync
Your topics and summaries sync across all your iOS devices automatically via iCloud.

PROACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE

Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Arc Search are reactive — you ask, they answer. Research Radar is proactive. You define your topics once, set a cadence, and summaries arrive without you asking. The difference matters if you follow a dozen niche topics and don't want to remember to check each one.

Google Alerts emails you raw links. Research Radar gives you a synthesized read in the app, with citations.

Feedly aggregates other people's articles. Research Radar generates fresh summaries that didn't exist before your update ran.

NO SUBSCRIPTION

Most AI tools charge $10–20/month whether you use them or not. Research Radar uses pay-as-you-go credits that never expire. A typical topic update costs ~1,000 credits — about $0.10 at the Starter rate.

Requires iOS 18.5 or later, iPhone. iCloud account required for topic sync.

PRICING

• Free to download — buy credits when you're ready
• Starter: $2.99 — 10,000 credits (~10 full topic updates)
• Value: $5.99 — 22,000 credits (+24% vs. Starter)
• Power: $9.99 — 40,000 credits (+34% vs. Starter)

Credits never expire. No auto-renewal, no subscription. Buy what you need, when you need it.
