All your sources. One brief. TechnoDaily brings your Gmail newsletters, RSS feeds and YouTube channels into one reader that learns what matters to you, on your device, and shows you a short selection instead of a pile of unread items. TechnoDaily is a paid app with no ads and no free tier. For the first 3 days, everything is open, with no purchase and no commitment. Then: a yearly subscription, with a 14-day free trial for a first subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. You are the customer, not the product. A SELECTION, NOT A PILE In For You, the Unread view shows at most 30 reads at a time, picked from the last 48 hours and sorted into three groups: "Just In", "Today", "You may have missed". The tab badge counts that selection, never the volume. The Daily Brief gathers the topics several of your sources are covering, usually three, with their articles. On an Apple Intelligence-compatible device, a summary paragraph is added, generated on the device; without Apple Intelligence, the Daily Brief is still there. If you turn it on, a morning notification announces it at the time you choose (7:30 AM by default): "3 topics this morning". ONE PLACE Your Gmail newsletters, read outside your inbox, with read-only access. Any website through its RSS feed, which the app finds from the site's address; a subreddit too, by pasting its address. OPML import and export to bring your subscriptions along. The latest videos from your YouTube channels, through your Google account. And starter sources in your language. YOUR READING IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS BUT YOURS Your content and reading activity stay on your devices and in your personal iCloud; ranking, topic grouping and summaries are computed on the device. No TechnoDaily account to create, no ads, no ad profile, no advertising or tracking SDK. Anonymous, aggregated usage statistics are off by default. For Gmail, TechnoDaily has passed the independent security audit required by Google (CASA). ALSO โ€ข Followed topics: follow a topic, see what changes day after day, share the dossier. โ€ข Entity pages: the people and organizations in a topic, day by day, over seven days. โ€ข What the app has learned: what the engine took from your reading, and what it does not learn. โ€ข Your corrections, synced across your devices: "Not interested", "This doesn't belong here", "Exclude from brief". โ€ข Saved: your saved items and your Read Later queue, all types together. โ€ข Search: titles, summaries and full text of everything already on your device, even offline. โ€ข Refine: smart or recent sort, content types, blocked keywords. โ€ข Reading: adjustable text size, and "Next in your feed" at the end of each article. โ€ข Article summaries by Apple Intelligence, generated on the device (compatible devices). โ€ข Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and a widget you can set to the Daily Brief or to a followed topic. โ€ข Four tabs: For You, Sources, Saved, Search. โ€ข Optimized for iPhone Duo: closed, your list; open, the list and the article side by side, as on iPad and on large iPhones in landscape. โ€ข Mac: native app, menu bar, โŒ˜1 to โŒ˜4 for tabs, โŒ˜R to refresh, โŒ˜F to search, โŒ˜, for settings, separate article window, Dock badge. REQUIREMENTS iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro: iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or visionOS 26, or later. Mac: macOS 26.1 or later. Summaries: Apple Intelligence-compatible device. Five languages: English, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Japanese. If TechnoDaily is useful to you, a rating on the App Store helps an independent app. Terms of Use: https://www.technoandco.fr/technodaily/conditions.html Privacy Policy: https://www.technoandco.fr/technodaily/confidentialite.html

Defend Intelligence brings together news about artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, defense and emerging technology. Explore news and stories as soon as you open the app. Browse the Feed, which loads articles as you scroll, and return to what you were reading. Images load on demand. News refreshes while you use the app; if an update fails, the app shows what remains available and lets you retry. Protected briefs are available in the web Feed after sign-in and access verification. Listen to Defend Intelligence Radio live from the Radio tab. Pause and resume from the player or mini player. Audio can continue when you leave the screen or lock your iPhone. The Hot Tech banner opens the podcast page where you can find its episodes. Find links to Instagram, Spotify, YouTube, X and Twitch at the bottom of the More tab. Your first two distinct articles are available without an account on this installation. Sign in before reading a third article or saving bookmarks. Sign-in uses a code sent by email, with no password. Bookmarks stay on this device, separate for each account; they do not sync across devices. The Neural newsletter is a separate, optional subscription. Choose a frequency and confirm your email address. Set your language, text size and light or dark appearance. Some publications and audio episodes are only available in French. New article and Neural edition alerts are offered when the app synchronizes; brief notifications are unavailable in the app. Journey analytics is enabled by default after sign-in, based on our legitimate interest in improving Defend. Screens, actions and active reading time are linked to the account and stored with no automatic expiry. Audio listening is measured separately with a random identifier, without sending your account ID in audio events, and follows the same preference. You can object in More โ†’ Manage my account without losing app access. Existing objections are preserved. Objecting or deleting the account erases account-linked journeys; objecting also stops audio collection.
