## What is Layers?

Replace doom scrolling with interesting stories from the world of science each day.

Layers takes real research papers from every field - tech, health, space, earth science, psychology - and rewrites them so anyone can understand.

Every day, we surface the most interesting new discoveries and explain them in plain English. No jargon. No textbook framing.

HOW IT WORKS

Layer 1: Scroll through today's science. Each card is a real paper with a hook headline and a 2-3 sentence summary.

Layer 2: Tap any card to go deeper. Get the full breakdown: what they found, why it matters, and the surprising details you won't get from a headline.

FEATURES

- 5 categories: Tech, Health, Space, Earth, Mind
- Swipe right to save papers for later
- Reading streaks to build a daily habit
- Share discoveries with friends
- No accounts, no ads

Built for curious people who don't read science papers, but would if someone explained them properly.
