## Description

Catch up on today's US news in a few minutes — neutral 60-word summaries, always sourced, no account needed.

Short news summaries you can read in a minute. Gist turns the day's US news into a deck of swipeable cards — each a ~60-word neutral summary with the outlet's name and a one-tap link to the full story. No account, no sign-in: open it and start reading.

A daily news briefing built for time-poor readers who want to catch up in a few minutes — no clickbait, no spin, no emotional headlines. Swipe through an endless deck drawn from multiple reputable US outlets, switch sections with the tabs up top, and tap "Read full story" whenever you want the original reporting.

What you get:
• 60-word neutral summaries — every card sourced, with a link back to the outlet
• A full-screen card deck you move through with one thumb
• A true dark mode that follows your system theme — easy on the eyes at night
• Your sections — World, Business, Technology, Sports, Science, Health, Finance, Fashion, plus trending topics
• Daily Briefing — a short, finite set of today's stories; read to the end and you're caught up
• Daily news quiz — test yourself on the stories you actually read, and share your score
• Reading streak — grows every day you catch up
• Offline reading — cards you've already loaded stay readable, images and all
• Bookmark & share — save any card, or share it as a clean branded Gist card image
• Full-text search across recent headlines and summaries

What Gist does not do: it does not reproduce article text — summaries are short neutral paraphrase, and the source name and outbound link are always shown so credit goes to the original outlet. It does not ask you to log in. News is US-region for now. Supported by non-intrusive ads.

Privacy: Gist has no account system. Your bookmarks, read history, sections, theme, streak and quiz progress are stored only on your device. Card images load directly from the news outlets' own servers, so those outlets may see your device's IP address when an image loads — standard for any app that shows web images.
