About

Truedawn

Read full description

Truedawn watches the topics you care about in real time and only wakes you when something real actually happens. Name anything: a place, a person, a company, a market, or a fast-moving story, and Truedawn monitors the conversation as it unfolds. It uses AI to judge whether a real, credible, significant event is genuinely happening, not a scam, a rumour, or bot-driven noise. Only when a topic clears verification does it reach you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Name any topic, as broad or as specific as you like. 2. We watch and verify in real time: credibility tiers, independent corroboration, and scam and bot filtering, not just how loud something is. 3. We wake you, your way: a silent badge, a notification, or a loud alarm that breaks through Do Not Disturb, with a full-screen alarm screen when you open the app. WHY TRUEDAWN - A false alarm is worse than a miss. Truedawn is designed to tell the difference between something happening and something merely being said. - Credibility, not volume. Every signal is weighed by source credibility and how independent voices line up. - Corroboration. We look for independent confirmation before treating an event as real. - Scam and bot filtering. Coordinated amplification, spam, and engagement bait are filtered out before they reach you. - You set the bar. Choose how significant and how certain an event must be before we alert you, and set quiet hours. DELIVERY, YOUR WAY - Silent: a calm count that is simply there when you look. - Notification: a standard push the moment a topic clears verification. - Alarm (Pro): a loud alarm that breaks through Do Not Disturb, even at night, for what truly cannot wait. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your watch topics reveal what you care about, which can be sensitive. We treat them that way: we minimise what we collect, we never sell your data, and we use no ad trackers or advertising SDKs. You can delete your account and all your data at any time, in the app or on the web. PLANS - Demo: free, no account. See exactly how an alert and the alarm feel. - Standard: up to 5 watches, verified alerts, checks every 10 minutes, quiet hours, silent or notification delivery. $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. - Pro: up to 15 watches, alarm mode, checks every 3 minutes, quiet hours with urgent override, everything in Standard. $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year, with a 3-day free trial on the monthly plan. Prices are in US dollars and are shown in your local currency in the app. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID, renew automatically until cancelled, and can be cancelled anytime in Settings. IMPORTANT Truedawn provides best-effort, automated verified alerts. It is not a guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness, and it must not be relied upon for emergencies or safety-critical decisions. Always confirm important information through official and primary sources. Wake me up for what's real. - Terms of Use: https://truedawn.app/terms - Privacy Policy: https://truedawn.app/privacy
