A daily newspaper of history, made just for you. FlashBack prints a today-in-history edition tailored to your interests every morning. Free, private, 100% on-device.
Flashback: a history newspaper written just for you, delivered every morning.
Every day holds a thousand stories. Flashback finds the ones you'll actually care about and brings them to you, tied to today's exact date in history.
Open the app each morning and read six short, true stories from this day across the centuries. An event that shaped the world. A remarkable person born today. Another who died.
An invention that changed everything. A quote worth remembering. And a city that mattered on this date. Each one takes a minute to read, and the whole edition fits into your morning coffee.
What makes Flashback different is that it's built around you. When you start, you choose the subjects you love, whether that's wars and power struggles, science and invention, art and culture, business and the people who built it, or politics and the figures who shaped nations. From then on, every story you see is chosen to match. No two readers get the
same edition.
-> WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK
A daily habit, not a feed to scroll. One edition a day, six stories, a few minutes well spent. No endless timeline, no noise.
Written to be read. Every story is rewritten in clear, engaging language, the way a great editor would tell it. Easy to follow, satisfying to finish.
Genuinely personal. Your interests shape every section, every day. The more specific your taste, the better it gets.
A gentle daily nudge. A single notification each morning with a hook about today's edition, so you never miss the story waiting for you.
-> PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Flashback runs entirely on your iPhone. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and no tracking. Your preferences and reading history stay on your device and never leave it. The stories are generated right on your phone, so the app respects both your attention and your privacy.
Free to download. Free to read. A new edition every day.
History isn't a subject you studied once. It's happening on this date, every year, going back as far as you care to look. Flashback is your daily window into it.
Download Flashback and start tomorrow with a story worth knowing.
