Broaden

Every morning, Broaden picks 5 articles for you — curated from trusted sources like The Guardian, Aeon, Wired, and MIT Technology Review. No feed. No algorithm fighting for your attention. Just five things worth reading, ready when you wake up.

Most reading apps give you more content. Broaden gives you less — on purpose. Five articles is enough to learn something new. It's short enough to finish. And when you're done, you're done.

The result? A reading habit that actually sticks.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick topics you're curious about — neuroscience, economics, architecture, space, and more

WHY PEOPLE STICK WITH IT Broaden works because it removes the hardest part of reading: deciding what to read. No more 40-tab "read later" graveyard. No more decision paralysis at 7am. Your 5 articles are already chosen. You just show up.

The streak tracker and friends leaderboard add just enough accountability to make skipping a day feel wrong — in a good way. And yes, there's a beaver mascot cheering you on.

Read one article a day. Or all five. Over a month, you'll have read more than most people read in a year.
