One verified number each morning — instead of doomscrolling.
A new tab that shows a single, sourced fact about how the world is actually changing. Guess first, then see the truth — and watch your gut recalibrate.
How it works
One reading a day
Each morning, one fact with its source and a short why. No feed, no scroll, nothing to catch up on.
Guess, then see
You pick from three options before the answer appears. Most of us guess too pessimistically — that gap is the whole point.
Sources you can check
Every number links to its origin — Our World in Data, the WHO, the UN, the World Bank. Accuracy, not optimism.
Not optimism. Accuracy.
The news is built to alarm, and memory keeps the alarm long after. Progress Tab doesn't tell you the world is fine. It shows you, with data, that many things are bad and getting better at the same time — child mortality, extreme poverty, disease. The goal isn't to feel good. It's to see clearly.
