Turn saved articles into a predictable daily reading habit.
CatchupDay helps professionals keep up with industry reading without the backlog. Save articles during the day, then start each morning with a short set of briefs that help you decide what’s worth reading fully.
The hidden cost of always-on news consumption
Always-on alerts promise that staying informed keeps us prepared, yet the endless cadence can dilute our ability to retain what we read.
The brain treats each new update as an open loop, pulling attention away from the deeper context that makes information useful.
Long-form reading thrives on uninterrupted time, but constant pings fracture that rhythm into disconnected fragments.
When news feels infinite, readers often skim without finishing, leaving them with more anxiety than insight.
Reclaiming focus starts with narrowing the feed and giving each article a clear boundary.
Brief
A concise overview that helps you decide whether this article is worth your time today.
Why it matters
- Identify the signal before opening the tab
- Batch reading windows to reduce context switching
- Summaries reveal if a deeper read is worth it
Stop hunting for what to read. Start reading.
Instead of scanning newsletters, feeds, and bookmarks every morning, CatchupDay gives you a small, intentional set of articles you already chose. Each day’s digest fits into a predictable reading window.
Your reading, your priorities
Your daily digest is built only from articles you saved. No algorithms, no trending feeds, and no endless scroll.
Daily Digest
A short set of briefs designed to fit into a focused morning reading session.
Humans have a limited attention span for reading
Research shows that sustained attention while reading is limited, especially when content feels uncertain or overly long. Readers often abandon articles not because they lack interest, but because the time commitment is unclear.
Why it matters
- Attention drops when effort feels open-ended
- Summaries reduce uncertainty about time investment
- Condensing content helps readers stay engaged
Why pre-reading improves comprehension and retention
Studies on learning strategies suggest that skimming or previewing material before a full read improves understanding. Seeing the structure and main ideas first helps readers retain more when they later read in depth.
Why it matters
- Pre-reading activates context
- Readers understand details better after an overview
- Skimming supports deeper learning, not shortcuts
Designed for how professionals actually read
CatchupDay separates saving from reading, so you can capture ideas when they appear and read with focus when you have time.
1) Save articles as you find them
Save a link when something catches your interest. No pressure to read it right away.
2) Get a small daily reading set
Each day you receive a limited number of articles, summarized into short briefs.
3) Read deeper only when it’s worth it
Use the brief to decide whether to open the full article or move on confidently.
