Up.Link

About

Up.Link is the signal for people who build, secure, and run technology. Most tech news tells you what happened. Up.Link tells you why it matters to you — as a developer, a security engineer, a network or GRC lead, an AI practitioner, or the person the team reports to. THE WIRE An editorial feed drawn from Ars Technica, The Verge, BleepingComputer, The Hacker News, Krebs on Security, MIT Technology Review, and Hacker News. Every card carries its source, timestamp, read time, and topic tags. Pull to refresh. Search everything. IMPACT LENS Pick your lens and every story is framed for your job. Tap another lens to see the same event through a different profession's eyes — what the developer sees is not what the compliance lead sees. STORY THREADS Duplicate coverage of the same event collapses into one thread with a development timeline: patch released, proof-of-concept published, active exploitation confirmed. You see the whole arc, plus every source that covered it, and whether the story is still developing or has settled. SECURITY SEVERITY RIBBON CVE ID, CVSS score, and CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities status rendered right on the card. You know what is actually being exploited before you open anything. DAILY UPLINK A five-minute morning briefing as a swipeable card stack, with an optional daily reminder at the hour you choose. Budget it down to three minutes or up to ten and the briefing re-cuts itself. Listen to it hands-free with lock-screen playback and background audio. CATCH ME UP Come back after a few hours away and Up.Link shows you exactly which threads moved, which events advanced them, what is new, and what has settled — instead of making you re-read the feed. ASK THE NEWS Ask a question about today's coverage and get an answer grounded in the articles actually loaded in the app, with tappable source citations. No answers invented from thin air. RELEASE RADAR Follow the releases for the tools you actually use. Up.Link pulls GitHub release and tag feeds for a curated toolchain catalog and tells you what in the changelog actually matters. FOLLOW ANYTHING Follow a company, a technology, or a person and get a running, day-grouped timeline of everything about it. Followed entities appear as chips on the Wire. THE WEEK, SETTLED A weekly retro that groups the week's threads into settled, still moving, and gone quiet — each with its first-to-latest arc. EVENT MODE During WWDC, Black Hat, re:Invent and other tentpole weeks, matching coverage rolls up into a live event view. ALSO INCLUDED - Hype filter that tucks press-release churn behind a fold instead of deleting it - Bookmarks that persist a complete article snapshot for offline reading - In-app reader with Reader mode, plus the system share sheet - Topic muting - Siri and Spotlight shortcuts: "What's my Up.Link" and "Catch me up on Up.Link" - Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support, light and dark Headlines and summaries are shown with attribution and link out to the publisher's own page. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ https://jamsoftinc.com/privacy-policy-uplink
