About
One-size-fits-all news fits no one.
Most newsletters are written once and sent to everyone. So the finance person skims past the sports, the sports person skims past the science, and everyone skims past something. Skimming isn't reading. It's guilt with scrolling.
The Gist of It works the other way around. You pick your topics — just the ones you actually care about — and your issue is built from only those. Ten subscribers, ten different newsletters. Same five minutes.
Choose from 10 topics. Change them anytime.
We digest the day's coverage on your topics — hundreds of sources, every weekday morning.
Plain-language stories, five minutes, zero jargon. That's it.
Who's behind it
The Gist of It started with one person tired of feeling behind on everything — and figuring you were too. No ads, no doomscrolling, no "you won't believe." Just the gist.
