About FYI Foundry
Most news tells you what happened. Very little of it tells you what that means.
FYI is a daily reader for people who keep up and still feel a step behind. Every morning it hands you five stories worth understanding, in plain language, with the context most coverage leaves out.
Five, not fifty. You finish, and then you are done.
WHAT A DAY LOOKS LIKE
The day arrives as a box. Open it and your five stories are dealt as cards you move through one at a time. Each one opens by asking where you stand, gives you the number that matters, and explains why it matters. At the end you get the day on a single ticket: what you read, how long it took, and the streak you are building.
GO AS DEEP AS YOU LIKE
Every story opens into the questions behind it. Pick one and you get a clear answer, then two more questions. Level three is not the end either. Stop wherever you are satisfied.
LOOK UP ANYTHING
Run your finger across any word or phrase you do not know. An explanation comes back in seconds, written for that sentence rather than copied from a dictionary.
LEARN THE IDEA UNDERNEATH
Foundry holds short courses on the things a headline assumes you already know: what a central bank does, how a tariff is actually paid, how to read a policy. About ten minutes each.
KEEP WHAT MATTERS
Save any card to a board you can search, and add your own note. Every day you have read stays in the library.
SHARE IT
Send a story to a friend, or share your day as a sticker.
WHAT WE DO NOT DO
No ads. No marketing email. No endless feed, and nothing that refreshes while you are still reading. Signing in is optional and everything works without an account. Sign in with Apple or Google only if you want your saved cards on more than one device.
News should leave you smarter, not busier.

Latest updates
3.0.0
This is the largest change to FYI since it launched.
A DAY YOU OPEN
The day now arrives as a box. Open it and your five stories are dealt as cards you move through by swiping. Reaching the end gives you a ticket with your streak, your reading time and the shape of the day, which you can share as a sticker.
GO DEEPER
Every story now opens into the questions behind it, and every answer opens into two more. Follow one as far down as you want.
LOOK UP
Run your finger across any phrase and an explanation comes back, written for that sentence.
FOUNDRY
A new place to learn the ideas underneath the news, in short courses.
FASTER
The first story now arrives in under two seconds, down from nearly five.
AND THROUGHOUT
New type, new colour and new motion across every screen, a quieter first day for new readers, and the writing has been rewritten to be plainer. The box now carries its own date, so you always know which day you are reading.
