More and more people are relying on their phones as their primary source of news, yet the content is presented in ways that make it annoying to read.

Rather than shoehorning existing content into a new environment, Circa is creating the first born-on-mobile news experience, delivering it in a format native to mobile devices, with an experience intuitive to mobile users.

Circa makes it easier than ever to keep up with what’s going on in the world from wherever you happen to be. News without the fluff, filler, or commentary: Circa’s editors gather top stories and break them down to their essential points — facts, quotes, photos, and more, formatted specifically for the phone.

“The way Circa works is more elaborate than serving you the news with a fancy UI or making sure the news is specifically catered to your interests,” Shundo explains. “We think that in order to make the news more convenient to you, we actually had to redefine the news itself, and then create a way for this new format to be consumed.”

Circa’s editors work hard to collect important and breaking stories from around the world to keep you informed, condensing facts, events, and context into concise points.

Keep track of stories that matter to you. Whenever there are new developments in a story you’re following, Circa adds a new point to it rather than making you read a whole new article.
