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.
