All the news, the social hype and the prediction markets in one place, without the toxic sites. You start neutral, then make it yours.
→ to advance
Every feed is tuned for someone else's revenue. The dials are hidden, rage keeps you scrolling, and the news you actually want breaks on platforms you would rather not visit.
Take the school phone ban. X is furious, Reddit's teachers are celebrating, the wires are measured, and the markets are pricing whether it sticks. Skewy shows all of it side by side — and how far apart they are.
No sign-up quiz, no taste test. We watch the channels that matter and take whatever is blowing up. Neutral by construction: popularity and recency, nothing else. Every story arrives assembled — headline, original source, and what everyone else is saying. From there, every tap makes it yours.
A dial for every source. Save as many algorithms as you like and switch by mood: everything balanced on the commute, cats and food at night, full rage on a Friday. It lives on your device and it is the reason nobody leaves — your taste is here.
Nobody wants to fill in a settings screen. So the tuner deals cards: one story at a time, more of this, less of this, or neither — and the dials move behind the scenes. Two minutes of this and the feed is unmistakably yours.
the buttons on the right work — try them
Type what you want in plain words and the app decides what that is. "No royals" becomes a switch. "Less politics" becomes a slider. "Stop me after fifteen minutes" becomes a timer. Anything stranger stays a rule, applied as written.
Give your algorithm fifteen minutes and it counts down in the header, then closes the feed: "That was the deal you made with yourself."
A feed that switches itself off works against our own business model. That is exactly why it earns the trust everything else here depends on.
Skins re-theme the whole app in one tap. Zen is calm and white. Ink is full dark. Tabloid shouts in red-top caps. Terminal is green on black for the people who want that. Cosmetic on top, the same recipe underneath.
tap one
One slider sets the temperature of every headline, and named characters go further — Royal, 90s East London, LinkedIn speak, Gen Z. The same story, told the way you can stand it.
drag the slider, tap a character
Every story asks you one question, and answering is a single anonymous tap — that is the whole effort. Vote first and the room opens up: how the country split, who agrees with you, what they are saying. The result is the reward, so we never show it before you commit.
Reading burns fuel; answering fills the tank. Fuel is not a score to admire, it is the currency that buys more: more reading, more channels switched on, more of the app opened up. Streaks and shares pay more again.
New features arrive constantly, but they do not all arrive at once. Channels, the map, the radio, duels, custom controls: each one opens as you earn it. It paces the onboarding so nobody drowns on day one, and it gives every returning user something new to reach for.
Pulling from social means pulling from where things get made up. So every story carries a Skewy rating — how real it appears, and why. A genuine problem, answered in the place people actually meet it.
A story anyone can read without an account. Your side of a split, straight onto socials. A fact-check verdict, quotable anywhere. And the strong one: your algorithm as a link — a personal recommendation that installs the product and arrives already tuned.
The stripped build — the feed, the algorithm and you, nothing else in the way. Everything in this deck is tappable in it.
