## What is Chief News?

Chief News is a personal briefing app by Catching Print for people who want a clearer read on the day.

Chief News is built to be calm, editorial, and easy to return to. Not more noise, just a better starting point.

Choose your topics, editorial voice, city, and schedule. Chief turns that into a focused brief you can read, save, and return to.

With Chief News, you can:
    •    Customize your daily brief built around the topics and editorial voice you choose
    •    Save issues and keep an archive of past briefs
    •    Adjust your topics, delivery days and time, city, and editorial voice anytime
    •    Create or reopen your account without a password
    •    Manage support, privacy, and account deletion in the app

Founding Member unlocks Chief as a deeper daily system: custom topics, full archive access, calendar context, and broader topic control, available through an App Store subscription.
