How to Get a Daily Email Digest of News on Any Topic
There are a few ways to get a daily news digest by email: Google Alerts for your keywords, an RSS reader, a topic newsletter, or one sentence handed to MailMeWhen, which needs no account or app.
You care about one topic — an industry, a technology, a team, a company — and you'd like the day's two or three important developments in plain words. Not forty tabs. Not a feed engineered to keep you scrolling.

A daily news digest in one sentence
Describe the topic to MailMeWhen the way you'd brief a helpful friend: what you care about, how many items, what tone. Each day the letter picks the few things that mattered and says them plainly.
First 7 days free, no payment details; then $5/month, stopping by itself if you don't subscribe. One reply stops it whenever you like.
Good to know about daily news digests
Specific beats broad: 'news about solid-state batteries' produces a much better letter than 'tech news'. You can also ask for it in your language even when the sources aren't.
The digest draws on public sources and is a summary, not original reporting — for decisions that matter, click through and verify.
Try it — hand us this sentence:
I follow the electric-vehicle industry. Mail me the three most important developments each day, in plain words.
Common questions
How narrow or broad can the topic be?
As narrow as you like — a single company, a local industry, a foreign-language beat — and the narrower, the better the letter. A broad topic such as 'tech news' works too, but the letter then has to choose from far more, so say what within it actually matters to you.
What time does the digest arrive, and how long is it?
At the time you name in your request: 'every morning at 7' or 'at the end of the day'. Length is yours too: three items in plain words, one line per item, or a paragraph each. The sentence is the setting. The first letter arrives within 24 hours of your request.
Can several topics share one letter?
Yes. Put them in the same request — 'the EV industry and solid-state batteries, three items each' — and they arrive as one letter. Each request is its own subscription: the first 7 days free, then $5/month. If you'd rather have two separate letters at different times, write two requests.
