BriefTea: News & Knowledge

The news app that explains what it assumes you already know.

Most news assumes you already know who everyone is and how everything works. BriefTea doesn't. Every story is a short news summary of 60 words in plain English, and when a story loses you, you can keep pulling the thread until it finally makes sense.

📰 NEWS IN 60 WORDS
Short news summaries you'll actually finish. UK news and world news, politics, business, tech, science, sport and culture, written clearly with no clickbait and no jargon. Catch up on today's news in the time it takes to make a cuppa.

🌌 KNOWLEDGE GALAXY
Curiosity shouldn't stop at the headline. Open a story's Knowledge Galaxy and tap the people, places and terms you don't recognise. Every answer opens new questions, so one news story becomes a whole constellation of general knowledge.

🫖 BREW TEA
Some stories deserve a proper sit-down. Brew Tea turns the biggest stories into swipeable visual decks with the background, the key players and why it all matters. News explained, not just reported.

🧠 DAILY NEWS QUIZ
Think the news stuck? Take the daily quiz, build a streak and see where you rank on the leaderboard. Learn a little, prove it, make it stick.

⏱ NEWS THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME
No endless feed engineered to keep you scrolling. A few notifications a day for the stories that genuinely matter, not a buzz every ten minutes. Read what you need, then put the phone down.
