Our story began with a vision to build a platform that makes knowledge accessible, affordable, and fun, while also being free from negativity, doom-scrolling and advertising. That’s how we came to be Knowledge Hackers. Uptime is a free app featuring 5-minute Knowledge Hacks from the world’s best books, courses and documentaries. All Hacks are available in text, audio and our unique visual story format, distilling the key ideas and insights from thousands of sources to keep users informed and save them time and effort. And the best thing is, you can share Hacks in just a tap with anyone via socials and text. It’s time to know more in no time.
