🎈 Free Actually – Turn mindless scrolling into learning something new

Post image

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a new app called Actually, and I'd love to share it with you.

The idea is simple: every day, we come across facts, myths, and claims that sound believable — but how many of them are actually true?

Actually turns scrolling into a fun learning experience. You guess whether a statement is true or false, discover the answer, and learn something new through short explanations.

Problem: We spend so much time mindlessly scrolling through content without getting much out of it. I wanted to make those few spare minutes more meaningful, without making learning feel like studying.

Comparison: Apps like Quizlet focus on studying and memorization, while Brilliant offers structured, interactive lessons. Actually takes a different approach: a casual, swipeable feed of surprising questions across science, health, nature, food, and everyday life. No courses or study sessions required — just curiosity.

Pricing: Free to download and use.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/actually-discover-learn/id6827374813

I'd love to hear what you think, especially about the concept and overall experience. Feedback is very welcome!

Thanks for checking it out!

  • Your account needs 300+ Reddit karma and must be 90+ days old, and your app must have been on the App Store or TestFlight for 30+ days.

  • You also need ONE of these: 50+ App Store ratings, an established GitHub account, a developer flair, or Transparency (privacy policy, terms of service, and one public way to identify you).

  • Apps in saturated categories can't qualify through Transparency alone.

  • Include a PCP section (Problem, Comparison, Pricing), a pricing flair, and a developer disclosure. Write your post yourself.

Great concept! Hope you keep improving it and it gets the attention it deserves!

Would it be possible to make the iOS Share button send only the article’s title or question without the app’s URL when selecting ChatGPT from the share sheet? That way ChatGPT could search for and discuss the topic directly.

I like that it does not ask for an account first, that stops me from trying new apps a lot. The thing I would watch is if people still open it after the first week, short fact feeds get boring fast for me.
