Kenya hits 93% renewable electricity, a global first at scale
The grid ran on geothermal, wind and solar for the full quarter, the highest sustained share any large economy has reached. Power prices fell for 11 million households as diesel imports dropped.
Why this matters
Proves a national grid can run clean without blackouts — a template other countries are already copying.

Sound familiar?

You didn't get bored of the news. It started to hurt.

So you deleted the apps. The anxiety eased — but now you feel cut off, a little out of touch, quietly guilty for looking away. There was never a version that kept you informed and let you breathe. Until now.

How it works

Calm by design, not by accident.

Three rules we will never break — because the calm is the product.

1

Only genuinely good news

An AI editor reads every story and keeps only the ones where the real event is good — a cure proven, a forest recovered, a record broken. No bad news dressed up with a silver lining.

2

A finite daily set

At most 20 stories a day, then a gentle close. No infinite scroll, no “you’re all caught up… here’s 50 more.” You finish, you feel good, you put the phone down.

3

Feel it, don't doomscroll it

Each story tells you what happened in two sentences, why it matters, and where it’s from. React with one of four feelings. No red badges, no streak guilt, no manufactured urgency.

The difference

Most “positive news” is just bad news, reframed.

We don’t find silver linings in disasters or summarise tragedy warmly. We surface stories where the core event itself is good — and we refuse every dark pattern built to keep you anxious and scrolling.

Zero infinite scroll Zero red notification badges Zero FOMO or streak guilt Real events only, never reframed
