Ancher
Your Chief of Staff for information to help you stay focused
Visit website →About
Ancher is a personal information assistant, framed as a chief of staff for what you read. Instead of an algorithmic feed built to keep you scrolling, it learns a user's intent, filters the noise, and delivers insights that help them think and act.
In its Do Mode, a user can explore both sides of a story, see how people are reacting, turn an article into their own post, or hand a topic to Ancher to watch and be alerted only when a real development lands.
It is aimed at people who follow news and topics closely but are worn down by feeds, and want a focused, intent-driven way to stay informed and act on what matters.

Why we picked it
Where most reading tools optimize for scroll time, Ancher explicitly frames itself against that — a chief-of-staff for information that filters noise and, in Do Mode, lets you explore both sides of a story instead of just one feed's version.
