No app." url: "https://mailmewhen.com/guides/daily-fact-quote-email" lang: "en" published: "2026-09-07" modified: "2026-09-07" --- # How to Get a Daily Fact or Quote of the Day by Email *Updated September 7, 2026* There are a few ways to get a daily fact or a quote of the day by email: a fact newsletter such as Now I Know, a quote service like BrainyQuote or Goodreads, an RSS feed from Wikipedia pushed to your inbox, a list of your own, or one sentence handed to MailMeWhen, which needs no account and no app. A fact or a quote is the smallest thing that can improve a morning: half a minute of reading, something to repeat at lunch, a line to put above a list of tasks. It is also the easiest habit to lose — the app gets muted, the tab never gets opened, and by Thursday you have read nothing. ## Ways to get a daily fact or quote by email 1. Fact newsletters: Now I Know has sent one researched story a day for years, and magazines and museums run daily letters of their own. They are well made, often free, and the same fact goes to everyone — you cannot ask for the ocean, football, or the history of your own city. 2. Quote of the day services: BrainyQuote and Goodreads both mail a quote a day, and verse-of-the-day letters do the same for scripture. The quote is chosen for the whole list, it usually arrives wrapped in ads, and outside English the choice thins out fast. 3. An RSS feed pushed to your inbox: Wikipedia's article of the day and its 'Did you know' section, or a community like r/todayilearned, all publish feeds an RSS-to-email tool can deliver. It works, and you get whatever the feed had that day, formatting and all. 4. A list of your own: put a hundred quotes in a spreadsheet, schedule one a day to yourself, and it is exactly your taste — until the week you stop maintaining it. ## A fact or a quote a day in one sentence With MailMeWhen you describe the letter you want: 'one surprising fact about space every weekday morning, with a link to the source', 'a short quote about patience every Monday', 'one thing that happened on this day in football'. A real person reads the request, and the letters follow — in your language, at your rhythm. The first 7 days are free, with no payment details. After that it is $5/month for that one letter, and it stops by itself if you don't subscribe. Reply once to stop, or to change the topic. ## Good to know about daily fact and quote emails Narrow the topic and the letters get better. 'A fact about the ocean' beats 'a fun fact', and 'a line a coach would use before a match' beats 'something motivational'. Ask for the source. A fact worth repeating is a fact you can check, so say 'with a link to where it comes from' and every letter carries one. Any language works, not only English, and the rhythm is yours: every morning, weekdays only, or Monday before the team meeting. ## Try it — hand us this sentence: > Send me one surprising fact about space every weekday morning, with a link to where it comes from. [Take me there →](https://mailmewhen.com/?need=Send%20me%20one%20surprising%20fact%20about%20space%20every%20weekday%20morning%2C%20with%20a%20link%20to%20where%20it%20comes%20from.) ## Common questions **Can I choose what the daily fact is about?** Yes — the topic is the setting. Space, medicine, the history of your city, football, food: name it in the request and the letters stay inside it. If it starts to feel narrow, reply to any letter and widen it. **Where do the facts come from, and can I check them?** Ask for the source and every letter names it with a link, so anything surprising can be checked in a click. A real person reads your request before the first letter is written, and that first letter arrives within 24 hours. **Can I get a quote instead of a fact, or both?** Both work. Ask for a quote a day, a fact a day, or one short letter carrying a fact and a line worth quoting. Whatever you describe in the sentence is the shape the letters take, and one reply changes it later. ## More guides - [How to Get the Bitcoin Price by Email Every Day](https://mailmewhen.com/guides/bitcoin-price-daily-email): Three ways to receive the Bitcoin price in your inbox daily — exchange apps, alert tools, or one plain-language sentence.
