## What is The Brief?

The Brief gives you a finite, evidence-led view of the news, then lets you leave it there.

Choose the regions and topics that matter to you, choose how many stories you want when they are available, set the emotional intensity you are comfortable with, and receive a focused daily briefing built from current reporting.

WHAT YOU CONTROL

• Regions and topics
• Your preferred number of stories
• Calm, balanced or progress-led briefing modes
• Graphic-content filtering
• Daily reminder time
• Saved stories and continuing updates

BUILT FOR CLARITY

Stories are grouped into a finite daily queue with source attribution, update history, evidence context and clear uncertainty labels. The Brief is designed to help you understand what changed without an endless feed, social reactions or advertising.

Core choices remain free, including your preferred story count. The Brief Custom unlocks full customisation, including unlimited region and topic choices, every briefing mode and advanced intensity controls.

The Brief Custom includes a 3-day free trial, then costs £1.99 per month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
