One New Thing
Learn one new thing every day
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
For the days you don't want to end having only scrolled.
Each day, One New Thing lays out three things worth reading or watching, drawn from a hand-curated catalog that runs from cosmology to film to mathematics. You choose one, and you can change your mind until you've read it. A new set arrives tomorrow.
Then you write, as much or as little as you like, in your own words, on what you made of it. Pasting is turned off, on purpose: an entry you pasted would tell you nothing when you read it back in December.
Over a year, those entries become a record of what you actually learned.
• Three hand-picked options a day, from the subjects you choose, at the length you choose
• A private Journal you can search, filter, and reread
• Suggest a piece you loved; if it's accepted, it joins the catalogue
• An optional Face ID lock, so your Journal stays yours
• On iPhone and iPad, upright or sideways, and on Mac
No feed to scroll. No notifications calling you back. Your reflections are private to your account.
