A note from the person behind Trace
Hey, I am Tarat.
Trace is the first solo indie app I have built and launched. I put it out at the end of January 2026, and it got so much traction on Product Hunt that I decided to keep going.
Six months in, the app has changed a lot. I read every bit of feedback I can get and genuinely love working on it, making Trace more useful, clearer, and more worth opening for the people who use it.
On the personal side, I am starting my master’s in AI at the University of Edinburgh this September. So anything you spend on Trace helps me keep building while I figure out student life.
If you’re into investing or the US stock market, I also make StocksBrew. You can find more about me and the other things I’m building at tarat.space.

Questions, answered
Is Trace free?
Yes. Guests can start reading for free. Sign in to get more free stories daily, personalize your topics, and opt into the morning email. Pro ($5/mo) unlocks every story, full Pulse, and the archive.
What counts as one AI summary?
Opening a new story brief counts once. You can reopen the same brief as often as you like without using another read, and original publisher links are always unlimited. The counter resets every morning with the new edition.
Where does Trace get its news?
Trace reads 400+ sources overnight: established tech publications, company announcements, research teams, Hacker News, Reddit, Product Hunt, GitHub, and X. When several outlets cover the same event, the card shows every source, so you can verify anything in one tap.
How is this different from a news aggregator?
Aggregators hand you a firehose and make ranking your job. Trace hands you the stories that mattered, grouped across outlets, summarized with key points, and ranked around your topics. You open it, you read it, you are caught up in under 10 minutes.
How does personalization work?
Pick your interests in your profile and your For You feed re-orders around them right away — they only change ordering, nothing else. Same transparent ranking, weighted to your topics. No engagement bait, no outrage optimization.
What is Pulse?
Pulse is the builders’ radar next to your feed: trending GitHub repos with star counts, and Hacker News discussions with points. Full Pulse is part of Pro.
Can I cancel Pro anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from your profile, no retention call, no exit survey. You keep Pro until the end of the billing period, and your bookmarks and profile stay exactly as they are on the free plan.
Is there an app or email version?
Trace is web-first today, with a Chrome extension that puts the ranked feed in every new tab and an Android app on Google Play. A daily email brief lands every morning at 10:30 Europe/Berlin — turn it on from your profile.
Does Trace work with OpenClaw or Hermes?
Yes. Pro includes read-only MCP access, so OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude, Codex, or Cursor can pull the same ranked feed you read. The agent can never post, delete, or change anything.
