Paste in a headline or a paragraph from any news site and Newscade breaks it down in plain English. No jargon left unexplained, no background knowledge assumed that you don't actually have.

The default mode builds every explanation from the ground up: each term is defined before it's used, so you can read straight through top to bottom without ever stopping to look something up elsewhere.

Explanations are AI-generated. The tool is built to admit uncertainty rather than guess, and to flag when a story may be more recent than its knowledge allows. Always double-check anything important before relying on it.

Stories you explain are saved locally in your own browser only, nothing is sent anywhere beyond the request to explain them. There's no account system syncing this across devices yet.
