Description

Listen, read or watch bite-sized summaries of the world’s best books, podcasts, documentaries and courses. Our award-winning app is easy growth, fun learning, and free!

Designed by experts and scientifically proven to help you learn, Uptime is an exciting way for you to spend 5 minutes immersing yourself in content that will help turn you into the smartest person in the room. Whether it’s meditation, politics, or career advice you’re after, our Hacks can have you feeling confident and well-informed across any area of your life.

WHY UPTIME?
• It’s effortlessly engaging. Our 5-minute summaries (which we call Hacks) are easy to understand, quick to get through, and cover every topic imaginable.

• We save you time. Uptime finds the world’s top non-fiction books, podcast episodes, documentaries, and online courses, and summarizes them so you can take away all the key information in a fraction of the time.

• You choose what works for you. Our content is available as text to read, audio to listen to, or as visual stories you can tap through. Whether you’re sitting down to concentrate or out on the go, Uptime is designed to suit your needs.

• We’re built for learning. Designed by experts, Uptime has a science-based methodology that’s proven to foster long-term information retention.

• We help you take action. We don’t just leave you to consume facts. Our Insights in Action provide you with tips and tricks that you can implement in your everyday life.

• Uptime helps you reach your goals. Watch your streak go up and see how many hours you’ve saved — a book might take hours, but a Hack only needs 5 minutes.

• You can bank the best bits for later. Save your favorite quotes, insights, and actions as Sparks to refer back to, and even categorize them into Boards to share with your friends.

• Our content is one of a kind. Many of our Hacks are written by the creators themselves, not only guaranteeing authenticity but offering unique insight you can’t get anywhere else.

• We guarantee quality. We curate only the top creators – with New York Times best sellers, the latest Netflix documentaries, top-rated Apple and Spotify podcasts, and courses from the world’s most prestigious universities.

Love it

I have only had it for a day but love it already. Great design, interactive & good variety (text, illustration, animations & video), easy to navigate & best of all free!

Developer Response ,

Hey Sian, thank you for using and loving Uptime! This feedback is so kind and super appreciated! ❤️

Robotic voice is hard to take

I love the concept and was excited to give it a try but I find it unpleasant to hear the robotic voice it’s been recorded on. It would have been much nicer if it was read by a human rather than the cut and paste pre recorded robotic voice. After a couple of minutes I am over it and can’t concentrate anymore. Like audio books, it’s pleasing when a person actually narrates it. Cutting cheap corners not always work, it didn’t work for me.

Developer Response ,

Hi there, and thank you for your feedback. I just want you to know that we've recently changed the voice, and have been working on improving our audio features, but would be interesting in chatting further if you'd like to share some more feedback. You can reach us at support@uptime.app 👍
