Briefs & notifications#

Briefs condense new content into entries. Notifications are how they reach you.

Cadence#

Each watch has its own rhythm: daily / weekly / only when a condition hits. The delivery time you set is in your local timezone (changeable in Settings).

Daily digest#

• At your chosen hour, all watches' new briefs merge into one email;
• Frequency: adaptive (daily while you read, weekly once you don't), daily, weekly, off — changeable in Settings;
• Every entry has a headline, summary and source link; a one-click unsubscribe link sits at the bottom (doesn't affect push or watches).

Browser push#

• Briefs push a browser notification when ready (enable in Settings — needs browser permission);
• Alert-condition matches push immediately;
• Even without push, everything appears on Today.

RSS#

Every public watch serves RSS at /<lang>/w/<slug>/rss.xml — pipe waper briefs into your own reader.

Alert conditions#

At watch creation or in settings, write a natural-language condition ("mass production of solid-state batteries mentioned") — matches push immediately. Up to 5 per watch.

Timezone & language#

Briefs are bilingual by default; you pick the display language in Settings, and the delivery hour follows your timezone.
