Daily History: Stories & Facts
True Stories to Read or Listen
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
One true story from history, every morning. Beautifully written, 5 minutes to read, or tap to hear it narrated. No lists, no trivia. Just one story worth knowing.
A new history story every morning. True, beautifully written, and yours in about 5 minutes.
Daily History isn't an "on this day" list. No 50 bullet points, no Wikipedia excerpts, no trivia quizzes. Each day brings one story, picked because it's genuinely fascinating, then researched and told like a great nonfiction book.
READ OR LISTEN
Every story has a narrated version. Tap Listen and keep going with your phone locked: on a walk, on your commute, while the coffee brews. Skip back, skip ahead, or scrub to any moment.
A DAILY RITUAL
Open the app and you're already reading today's story. Pick a reminder time, and each morning's notification tells you the day's title. Finish a story to keep your streak going.
STORIES FROM EVERY ERA
Ancient empires, forgotten spies, disasters that changed the rules, inventions that almost didn't happen. Stories list their sources, so you can go deeper.

"While you were away" shows the stories you skipped, and your Timeline keeps everything you've read. New here? "Start here" picks a few favorites to begin with.
