Endless tabs. Saved podcasts you never finished. Articles you bookmarked and forgot. You are not behind. You are buried. The problem was never access. Nobody shows you where to start, and almost nothing you consume actually stays. Micro cuts through the noise. Type any topic and get one clear path. Instead of another feed to fall behind on, Micro shows you where to start, teaches the fundamentals in short audio lessons, then checks what landed and brings the weak spots back before you forget them. No endless scroll. No 40-hour marathon you never finish. Just the path that matters, built around how memory actually works. HOW MICRO WORKS - Type any topic, from AI basics to personal finance, negotiation, or nutrition - Get one clear starting point instead of a hundred open tabs - Learn in 10-minute audio lessons you can follow anywhere - Answer quick recall checks so you know what really stuck - Micro finds your weak spots and turns them into targeted practice - It brings knowledge back at the right moment, so it stays with you WHY MICRO IS DIFFERENT The internet gives you infinite content and zero direction. Micro gives you a path. Chatbots hand you an answer and you forget it by lunch. Micro gives you a loop: start, learn, recall, practice, repeat. That loop is how scattered information becomes knowledge you actually keep. BUILT FOR YOUR REAL DAY Listen while you walk, drive, commute, work out, or take a break. Ten focused minutes beats two hours of scrolling. Your progress and your AI tutor are always one tap away. FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ACTUALLY KNOW THINGS AI and tech. Money and investing. Marketing and psychology. Health and nutrition. Communication and confidence. Pick one thing to master, and Micro makes sure it sticks. Stop collecting content you never use. Start a path you actually finish. Micro is free to start. A subscription unlocks unlimited topics, deeper paths, and your AI tutor. Subscription plans and pricing may vary by region. The final price is always shown on the Apple purchase sheet before you pay.

Learn American history as a connected story, not a collection of isolated facts. Unredacted gives you 100 chronological lessons and the historical record behind the difficult chapters, so you can understand what happened, how events connect and what the evidence actually says. From Native North America before 1492 to modern US conflicts, follow a complete course modeled on the sequence of a two-semester university survey. The first 10 lessons are available to explore before you decide whether to unlock the rest. GO FURTHER THAN A HISTORY SUMMARY Many history resources focus on a famous person, a single war or a few memorable dates. Unredacted follows the larger timeline through four years of material, with lessons that take about 15 to 25 minutes each. Begin with colonization and the founding era. Continue through slavery, westward expansion, the Civil War and Reconstruction. Explore industry, empire, the world wars, civil rights and the decisions that shaped America's role abroad. Each chapter builds on what came before. THE SOURCES ARE PART OF THE STORY Unredacted includes 18 Case Files on documented events, abuses of power and covert operations. Topics include Indian removal, Tulsa, MKUltra, COINTELPRO and US interventions overseas. The files identify the records behind the account, drawing on sources such as congressional reports, declassified government documents, court records and testimony. The course does not ask you to take a political side. Where historians disagree, it explains the competing readings. Where a common claim does not hold up, it shows what the record supports instead. The goal is to help you read history with curiosity and scrutiny. BUILT FOR READING, LISTENING AND REVIEW • 100 lessons organized into four chronological years. • On-device narration lets you listen to lessons using your iPhone or iPad's speech synthesizer. • 60 profiles introduce the people behind the decisions and events. • A cross-linked glossary explains 741 historical terms in context. • 20 quizzes include explanations for each answer. • Spaced repetition brings important terms back for review. • Bookmarks and notes keep your questions and discoveries close. • Search helps you find lessons, figures and terms across the course. • Three Home Screen widgets rotate a historical quote, term and figure each day. Read a lesson between classes, listen while following the text, or return to a glossary term when you want to understand a reference. Use quizzes and spaced review to revisit what you learned rather than starting over. OFFLINE AND PRIVATE BY DESIGN The full curriculum is bundled with the app. Lessons, profiles, glossary terms, quizzes and Case Files work without a connection, including in airplane mode. Purchases and purchase restoration require a connection to the App Store. You do not need to register or create a learning account. Analytics and Meta ad measurement are optional and off by default. Your progress, notes and bookmarks stay on your device. There is no account-based sync, so use your device backup settings when moving to a new phone. ONE PURCHASE. THE WHOLE COURSE. Explore the first 10 lessons, then make a single purchase to unlock the remaining 90 and the complete curriculum. There are no subscriptions or ads. Family Sharing is supported for the in-app unlock. Unredacted is an independent self-study course. It is not accredited and does not grant academic credit. It is for students looking for context alongside their US history studies and for curious readers who want a carefully documented account they can follow at their own pace. Open the first lesson. Follow the timeline. See the sources behind the story.
