05What’s not

The edition ends

No reminder until you turn one on, at an hour you choose. Politics, violence and celebrity gossip are filtered out before they reach you.

06Nothing about you

No device id. No session id. Not even an anonymous one.

Nothing is stored on your device that identifies it. There is no account and no advertising. The privacy page sets out exactly what is and is not recorded.

Settled is quiet on purpose

It is not trying to be the first to tell you anything.
