Choose what you want
Up to eight topics and eight publishers, paywalls labelled.
Your attention, curated
One small brief.
Then get on with your day.
The news you chose, one good thing that actually happened, your money, your day — on a single page.
The money page
Understand what you own — honestly.
Every account in one place, then broken open: what you actually hold, how much of it is the same few companies wearing different fund names, and where your money really sits by sector, country and asset class.
How it works
Set it up once. Read it every morning.
Connect only what helps
A brokerage, a calendar, or neither. Skip anything and the brief still works.
Read it, then close it
The brief has an end. The widget carries the day’s figures, so you need not open it again.
Why less
Everything that matters. Nothing that does not.
Your news, your money, your day, and something worth looking at — on one page you can finish.
The page is arranged your way
Pick your topics and publishers, set the density, and drag the sections into the order you actually read them in.
You see through the funds
Two funds can hold the same ten companies. Money adds up your real exposure, so concentration shows up before it surprises you.
Progress worth noticing
A reported advance in science, medicine or climate when a recent story meets the evidence bar. Some days no story qualifies.
Art, poetry and history
A painting, a poem and a little history, chosen for the day.
Read-only connections
Holdings arrive read-only through Plaid. Calendar writing stays behind its own consent. There is no inbox and no Gmail.
Encrypted and account-bound
Provider sessions are AES-256-GCM encrypted, tied to your account, and reached only through passkeys or multi-factor sign-in.
Private data, limited measurement
No server-side portfolio or calendar database. Saves and protected widget snapshots stay on your device; preferences follow your account. Session replay is off, and analytics are limited to aggregate use.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is this another news feed?
No. It is a fixed page that ends — your topics, evidence of progress when available, your money, your day. Nothing to catch up on.
Do you store my holdings or my calendar?
No. Both are fetched when you open the page and shown, never written to our storage. The iOS widget is the one exception: it keeps a single brief snapshot inside the app’s protected container so it can render while the app is closed.
How are my bank connections protected?
Brokerage data arrives read-only through Plaid, and each provider session is AES-256-GCM encrypted and bound to your account. Nothing sensitive is written to a cookie or browser cache.
Who can sign in as me?
Accounts, sessions, passkeys and multi-factor authentication are handled by Clerk. The iOS app signs in with native passkeys rather than a stored password.
What do you log about my reading?
Less anonymously counts which publisher was opened and whether the open came from Today, Reading, Saved or Money. It does not retain who opened it, the article, headline, topic, ticker or reading history.
Can Less is More change my calendar?
Only if you grant separate Google write consent. Until then browsing is read-only, and you can disconnect at any time.
What if I connect nothing?
Every connector degrades to a plain disconnected state. The brief still assembles from the news and culture you chose.
Is there an app?
There is a native iOS app with passkey sign-in and home-screen widgets. The site also installs as an app on macOS and iOS; offline it shows a blank page rather than a stale brief.
Your attention, curated
Tomorrow morning could be quieter.
