About

Verified, not scraped.

The Daily Screener is an independent operation that screens the day's news down to the few stories that move your world. Every story is drafted with AI assistance, then read and approved by a human editor before it reaches you — nothing publishes unreviewed.

How a story earns its place

The sieve in our logo isn't decoration — it's the whole product. Here's what a story goes through before it becomes a card in your feed.

  1. Everything enters the screen
    Thousands of stories a day — markets, macro, AI, energy, crypto, climate — go in the top. None of them are yours yet.
  2. The noise falls through
    Each story is weighed against the topics we cover and the topics you follow. Most of it never reaches you. That's the point.
  3. The few that matter get drafted
    What clears the screen is drafted with AI assistance into a tight ~60-word card, with the sources it's built from attached.
  4. A human editor approves it
    Then a person reads the draft, checks that the sources say what the card says, edits or kills it — and only then approves it. Every card. No exceptions.
  5. It publishes, sourced
    The approved card lands in the feed at ~60 words with its sources named, so you can read further whenever you want to. When you're caught up, the feed ends.

What "verified, not scraped" actually means

  • A person signs off on every card. Not a model, not a threshold, not a scheduler. Nothing reaches you unreviewed.
  • Every card names its sources. You can see where a claim came from and follow it back to the original reporting or filing.
  • Silence is a valid answer. When there's nothing worth your time, the feed doesn't invent something to fill the gap — it tells you you're caught up, and ends.

What we don't do

No infinite scroll

The feed has a bottom. When you've seen what matters, it tells you so and stops.

No engagement-bait

Nothing is written to provoke, enrage, or keep you swiping. A card exists because it's worth 60 seconds, or it doesn't exist.

No unreviewed AI output

AI helps draft. It never gets the last word. A human editor approves every card before anyone reads it.

No advice

Our data products, like FundTrail, present disclosed, factual information — what was filed, and when. They are not recommendations to buy or sell anything.

When we get it wrong

We're a small, independent operation, and careful isn't the same as perfect. If you spot something off in a card, email thedailyscreener@gmail.com — we read every message. When we get it wrong, we fix the card and its public permalink, rather than quietly leaving it up.

One account carries the same promise across everything we build — the news app and the data products alike. See the whole family on the products page.
