Forward the newsletters you already get and NewsTrellis hands back one Brief a day — stories sliced out, duplicates merged, ads dropped, written up at the depth you choose (5 to 30 minutes). Five minutes instead of an hour. And nothing vanishes on read — every story is kept for 90 days, searchable, and yours.
Forward everything you subscribe to. NewsTrellis slices each issue into stories, merges the overlap, and hands back a single calm read.
One calm, image-rich Brief every morning — sliced from the newsletters you forwarded and written at your depth.
Plenty of apps summarize your newsletters. NewsTrellis slices, dedupes, ranks, keeps, and learns — the whole job, not just the summary.
Every issue is broken into its individual stories, then the same story from five sources is merged into one. And you see the receipts — an honest tally of what got set aside (ads, duplicates, anything below your bar), not a black box that just "strips ads."
Not a blunt "short or long" toggle — a real dial: 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes, per story. The story count never changes, only how deep each one goes. Skim on a busy day, go long on a slow one.
what lands, what doesn't. NewsTrellis learns your taste and quietly stops surfacing the sources and topics you keep skipping — sharper every day, never noisier. Not the same digest for everyone; yours.
Every story from the last 90 days is kept — searchable, browsable, yours. A little bit second-brain.
Page back through the last 90 days. Search for that funding round from three weeks ago. It's BrainTrellis-lite: not the whole second brain, but your newsletters don't vanish the moment you've read them — and every story shows how long before it ages out.
And when a story deserves more than a read, hand it to BrainTrellis — your full second brain — in one tap.
