Daily rhythm

Your daily digest

One text at your time with what you actually follow: pre-market, your industry, the newsletters you never open.

You already know what you want to read; you just never read it. Describe the digest you want and pally builds it fresh each morning from the web and your inbox, then sends it as one text at your time.

The routine

How it works

Describe the digest in your own words and name the time and the days. It might be pre-market numbers and a watchlist, your industry and its competitors, the five newsletters piling up unread, or local news. One text sets it up; you do not rebuild the request each morning.

Each morning pally reads fresh rather than replaying yesterday. It looks things up on the web for news and numbers, reads the newsletters sitting in your connected inbox, and works out what is genuinely new against what is the same story rewritten by four outlets.

The result is one message short enough to read standing up. If a section had nothing worth reporting, it says so in a line instead of padding it out, so the length of the digest tracks the news rather than the schedule it arrives on.

Then it is a conversation, not a feed. Ask what a line means, get the source, go deeper on one story, add a sector, drop a section, or move the time. You can run more than one digest, like markets before the commute and an industry roundup at five.

A useful fit

Good for

  • Pre-market numbers before the commute
  • Industry and competitor news without five news apps
  • Newsletters you subscribed to and never open
  • A watchlist explained in plain language
  • Changing what's in it by replying once

Text it naturally

Things to try

send me a pre-market digest at 6:45 on weekdays with my watchlist
add anything about commercial real estate in my city
go deeper on that second story
drop the crypto section, keep the rest

Before you start

Common questions

Where does the digest come from?+

Fresh reads of the web each morning plus the newsletters in the inbox you connect. Pally looks things up for you rather than telling you to go and check a site yourself, and it will say when a claim is a draft or unconfirmed.

Can I have more than one?+

Yes. A market digest before the commute and an industry roundup at five in the afternoon can run as separate routines, each with its own contents, days, and time, and each editable by replying in the thread.

What happens on a quiet day?+

You get a short digest that says so. A one-line morning is the point: it means nothing in your sections moved, which is worth knowing and takes five seconds to read.

Keep going
