Day Old
Read full descriptionHide full description
AI news moves fast. You do not have to. Day Old gives you one thing a day: a short, clear recap of the AI stories that actually mattered, in plain English, in about two minutes. Then you are caught up and on with your day. Here is the trick in the name. Day Old is a day old on purpose. We wait for the dust to settle, skip the hot takes that aged badly by dinner, and tell you what was actually worth knowing. Yesterday's news, minus yesterday's panic. WHAT YOU GET One daily recap of around 400 words. Real prose, written like a friend explaining it, not a pile of links pretending to be journalism. A TL;DR at the top: three or four punchy highlights for when you have ten seconds instead of two minutes. The source articles behind the recap, one tap away, opening right inside the app so you never lose your place. A streak, because being informed is more fun with a scoreboard. There is a grace day built in for when life happens. A Stats page with your day streak, your longest streak, how many days you have stayed informed, and how you are tracking this week. A share card for your streak, plus a link to that day's edition on the web so anyone can read it without the app. Save anything for later. It stays on your device. Light mode, dark mode, and a daily reminder you can set to whatever time your brain switches on. THINGS WE DO NOT DO No account. No sign up. No email address. Open it and read. Saved items live on your device only. They are never uploaded anywhere. Usage stats are anonymous and optional. Never your identity. No infinite scroll, no algorithm studying your weaknesses. We are not trying to keep you in the app. Two minutes and you are out. WHO IT IS FOR People who want to keep up with AI without making it a personality. If you have ever nodded along to a conversation about a model you had never heard of, this one is for you. Day Old. Yesterday's AI news, on purpose.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Day Old at none against My Topics's shown. Day Old also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
