Each morning a page lands on your lock screen: short, surprising, and checked against the source it cites. Tear it off, and you know one more true thing than you did yesterday.
Free on iPhone and iPad.Pick a time: with coffee, on the commute, at lunch. Factful sends one notification a day, and the whole fact is right there on your lock screen, no tapping required.
Factful never sends anything but the page. There are no streaks to keep and no reminders to come back.
Your pages are scheduled weeks ahead, right on your phone, so they keep arriving even on the days you never open the app.
Factful is a page-a-day calendar. Yesterday's page stays on top until you pull it away, with the sound of paper and a little tap you feel in your hand, and today's fact is waiting underneath.
Each page has a Why it's true: the story behind the fact and the source it came from, one tap away.
Each page cites its source, and every number on it is matched against that source before it ships. A fact also has to surprise someone who wasn't looking for it, and most don't. We retired 73 facts that were true but not interesting enough.
A burst of cosmic radiation in 993 left a radiocarbon spike in tree rings worldwide. Counting rings out from that spike in wood cut with metal tools at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, showed all three trees were felled in 1021. It is the only secure date for Europeans in the Americas before Columbus.
Today's fact sits on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Before your delivery time, the widget simply says when the page arrives, so it never spoils the notification.
Light and dark, iPhone and iPad.
Every continent on Earth could fit inside the Pacific Ocean at once.

Yes. One page a day, every day, with its source, your library and the widgets, free for good. Factful+ adds up to five pages a day, your choice of subjects and search.
From sources you can read yourself: encyclopedias, science agencies, museums, journals and major publications. Every page shows its source, with a link, under Why it's true.
Every number in a fact is matched against the page it cites before it ships, and anything the source doesn't support is cut. If you ever spot a mistake, each page has a "Spot an error?" link that goes straight to us.
