Five great articles a day. Then you're done. Broaden picks 5 articles for you each day, matched to the topics you care about and drawn from trusted sources like The Guardian, Aeon, Wired and The Conversation. No infinite feed. No clickbait. Just five things worth reading, ready whenever you are. For anyone who swapped reading for doomscrolling and misses the feeling of finishing something good. Most apps want more of your time. Broaden gives you less, on purpose. Five articles is short enough to finish and enough to learn something new. Trade ten minutes of scrolling for one good read, and a reading habit builds itself. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the topics you're curious about: science, psychology, philosophy, history, economics, arts and more 2. Get 5 curated articles each day 3.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wikimind at none against Broaden's shown. Wikimind also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Broaden's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
