Twelve newsletters, five bullets

Everything your subscriptions said this week, condensed into one Saturday-morning digest you actually finish.

You subscribed for a reason. Then the newsletters stacked up unread, and now opening them feels like homework -- so you either skim none or lose an hour you didn't plan to spend.

The information diet was supposed to be curated. It became a second inbox.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

This routine runs every Saturday morning. It reads the week's newsletters and condenses them into a single digest: the five things worth knowing, with the source for each.

Stay informed in five minutes. The subscriptions finally pay for themselves.

THE SETUP

Set it up in three steps

  1. Open Littlebird and go to Routines, then create a new routine.

  3. Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. Pause or edit it anytime with auto-pause.
VS. CHAT SKILLS

Why not just use a skill?

A Claude skill or a ChatGPT skill can approximate this -- if you remember to ask. Copy in your calendar, paste the thread, wait, then carry the answer back out of the chat tab.

Littlebird already has the context: your meetings, your inbox, your calendar, and what was on your screen. The routine runs on schedule whether you remember or not.

Same idea, no choreography. The output lands in your Gmail or your task list instead of a chat window you have to babysit.

FAQ

It's free on Basic. Plus runs $17 per month billed annually or $20 month to month, with a free 14-day trial.
