NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW THINGS, BUT ALSO HAVE A LIFE

Read five things.
Keep one.

We read the mess, cut the noise, and give you 3 news, 1 deeper idea from an article, op-ed or book, and 1 tiny exercise. In about five minutes, you leave better read than you arrived.

Start anonymously. Personalise later and we’ll remember what you care about—and show the progress adding up.

01Three news picks. Properly explained.
02An article, op-ed or book idea with enough context to use today.
03One thing to actually do with it.

DON’T WANT TO READ FIRST? FAIR.

Put tomorrow’s five
straight in your inbox.

You do not need to finish today’s edition before subscribing. Choose five subjects now; we’ll use them to shape your three news picks and remember every Project Day you complete later.

  1. 01Three news picks shaped around your interests
  2. 02One deeper idea from an article, op-ed or book
  3. 03Your own delivery time, streak goal and dashboard
Choose exactly five subjects you genuinely want us to watch

Free through 31 December 2026. Signing up here does not fake a completion—your Project 100 starts when you actually finish Day 1.

PROJECT 100 · YOUR PACE, ALL 100

Finish all 100.
Become noticeably better read.

Five minutes is deliberately small. Each completed session becomes permanently yours. Miss a day and your live streak may restart, but Project 100 waits exactly where you left it—until the day you finish all 100.

THERE IS A HUMAN BEHIND THIS

Built by Akansh.
Still listening.

Daybreak Five is early, deliberately imperfect, and being shaped by the people who actually use it. Tell me what felt useful, what felt annoying, or what we should build next.
