lo·re·let

LORE-let noun

1. A little piece of lore: the whole story of something, researched from the best sources, written with character, and ready to be told out loud.

“I made a lorelet about the molasses flood on the way to work. You won’t believe the lawsuit.”

How it works

Ask anything. Get the whole story.

  1. 1

    Drop anything in

    A topic, a question, a half-remembered story. Or share a link straight from Safari, YouTube, Reddit, TikTok or any other app.

  2. 2

    Lorelet does the reading

    It checks journals, official records, encyclopedias and major outlets, reads the pages you gave it, and finds pictures from open archives, all in parallel.

  3. 3

    Get it with receipts

    About a minute later: the story, cited claim by claim, with a confidence score, a gallery, a toolkit for telling it, and narration close behind.


Receipts included

Every claim, cited.

Lorelet reads the way a good researcher does: journals, official records and encyclopedias first, then major outlets, then the open web. Forums count as opinion, never as proof. Tap any citation to see where it came from.

  • Sources ranked by how much they can be trusted
  • A confidence score for every lorelet
  • What’s uncertain is labeled as uncertain

The gallery

Pictures that belong to the story.

Every picture is looked at before it makes the cut. Duplicates, logos and off-topic shots are dropped, and captions describe what’s actually in the frame. They come from open archives and museum collections, credited to the people who made them.

  • Swipe, zoom and read the credit
  • Pictures placed through the text, too

Listen

A podcast about whatever you’re curious about.

Every lorelet is narrated, usually within half a minute of being written. Listen with the screen off, from the lock screen, in the car with CarPlay, or over AirPlay.

  • Chapters, speed, sleep timer and Up Next
  • Plays through dead zones
  • Two AI narrators, Marin and Cedar

The toolkit

Made to be told out loud.

Story beats in the order that lands, conversation starters for a co-host, and rabbit holes for when you want more. The Prompter turns any lorelet into big, glanceable notes while you talk.

  • Story beats, talking points, key figures and a timeline
  • The Prompter, for reading on air

Studio

Then record the episode.

Check your mics, keep the run of show beside the meters, and drop markers as you go. Lorelet records lossless, levels your episode to podcast loudness, and exports a finished file or a separate track for each mic.

  • AirPods, USB-C mics, and a track per person with a DJI Mic 3
  • Recordings stay on your iPhone and in your iCloud Drive

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is a lorelet?

A little piece of lore. Lorelet (said LORE-let) researches whatever you give it and writes up the whole story: what happened, who was involved, why it matters, with pictures, a citation for every claim and a confidence score. You can read it, listen to it, or use its toolkit to tell it yourself.

How long does one take?

Usually about a minute. You can watch it work, and you’re free to leave the app while it does. The narrated version is typically ready about half a minute after the lorelet itself.

Where does the information come from?

Lorelet reads sources in order of trust: peer-reviewed journals, official records, encyclopedias and universities, and major news outlets first, then the wider web. It also looks at what people are saying on forums, but treats that as opinion, never as proof. Every claim links to the source it came from.

What’s free?

Reading and listening. Every day there are 3 featured lorelets, fully narrated, free for everyone, no account needed, plus fresh story ideas every morning. Making your own lorelets takes Lorelet Plus.

Do you sell my data or show ads?

No and no. Lorelet has no ads and no ad tracking. We use your information only to run Lorelet for you. The details are in our privacy policy.
