About this app
Most news tells you what happened. Very little of it tells you what that means. FYI is a daily reader for people who keep up and still feel a step behind. Every morning it hands you five stories worth understanding, in plain language, with the context most coverage leaves out. Five, not fifty. You finish, and then you are done. WHAT A DAY LOOKS LIKE The day arrives as a box. Open it and your five stories are dealt as cards you move through one at a time. Each one opens by asking where you stand, gives you the number that matters, and explains why it matters. At the end you get the day on a single ticket: what you read, how long it took, and the streak you are building. GO AS DEEP AS YOU LIKE Every story opens into the questions behind it. Pick one and you get a clear answer, then two more questions. Level three is not the end either. Stop wherever you are satisfied. LOOK UP ANYTHIN…
App details
What you can learn from FYI Foundry
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 6 screenshots above are FYI Foundry's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: FYI Foundry runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #1CC49C) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #147C64, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
