A little curiosity,
every few hours
A surprising fact slides into the corner of your Mac, never takes focus, and fades away on its own. Watch one arrive.

TOPICS none for everything
Hover the card to keep reading. Space or → for another. In the app, cards come every few hours, not every few seconds.
Curiosity that knows its place
Something new to know, without ever pulling you out of what you're doing.
Never in the way
The card never takes focus, so whatever you're typing keeps going where it was. It fades away on its own, or stays while you hover.
Waits for a better moment
No facts while you're in a call, away, locked or full screen, and if you like, while music or video plays, during Focus, or outside your hours.
Right from the menu bar
A fresh fact each time you open the menu, with a little burst of sparkles. Pause for an hour or until tomorrow, and see when the next one is coming.
Your kind of facts
Over 2,400 facts across 13 topics, from Space and the Human Body to History, Music and Food. Pick the ones you like, and every fact comes up once before any repeats.
Mac, iPhone and iPad
Widgets in every size on your desktop, Home Screen and Lock Screen, and on iPhone and iPad a daily fact at the time you choose, with a soft ding.
Private by design
No accounts, no analytics, no ads. Your settings and history stay on your device. Read the privacy policy.
