Beakly

A daily news briefing app

June 17, 2026 Just launched Beakly: a daily news briefing app for iOS πŸš€

After months of building, Beakly is live. It's a reaction to news

apps that optimize for engagement β€” instead of an infinite feed, you

get one short daily briefing on the topics you choose.

Now the real challenge begins: distribution. If you've launched a

consumer iOS app, I'd love to hear what actually moved the needle on

your first 1,000 users.

    I'd be careful treating this as a distribution problem too quickly.

    The harder question may be whether the reason someone installs Beakly is the same reason they keep opening it a month later.

    Those can look aligned early on while pulling the product in very different directions.

      Thanks for feedback.

        You're welcome.

        One reason I raised it is that I've seen products reach a stage where the difficult part isn't collecting more signals.

        It's deciding which signals deserve to shape the next set of decisions.

        That's usually where things start getting interesting.

Tired of clickbait and infinite feeds, I made an iOS app that distills the day's news into one short briefing you can read in a couple minutes. You pick your topics, it does the rest.
