Skimz is a concise, citation-rich news briefing you can finish before your second coffee. We just shipped full Progressive Web App support, so you can install it like a native app and read offline.
Why a PWA matters:
- One-click install on desktop (Chrome, Safari, Edge)
- Auto-updates in the background — always the latest brief
- Launches from your dock/Start menu without a browser tab
- Caches the day’s edition for offline reading
Install in three steps:
1) Visit https://skimz.ai
2) Click the install icon in the address bar (Chrome/Safari)
- Edge: ⋯ → Apps → “Install this site as an app”
3) Skimz appears alongside your other apps
What you get:
- 60-second summary + 10-minute deep-dive every weekday
- Markets, geopolitics, tech, science/health, “This Day in History”
- Inline hover citations for every fact
