Tap. Scroll. Listen.
The habit starts on the lock screen
A push notification reaches a reader in seconds. Email doesn't. Social doesn't. Your app, on their lock screen, on your schedule.
Widgets keep you there between alerts — your front page on their home screen, your podcast one tap away.
New alert topics, live the moment you make them
Big story breaking? Spin up a topic in seconds and let readers follow it — no new app version, no App Store review, no release to wait on.
Running an election, a festival, the ski season? Create a topic for it, retire it when it's over, bring it back next year. Your alerts flex with the news and the calendar.
Editorial decides what's worth a push. Not the app store's release schedule.
The front page your desk builds ships straight to the app
Your team lays it out in LabradorCMS or your own CMS. We mirror that work in the app — same front page, same identity, same editorial judgment. Web, mobile, and app, one look.
No app-only compromises. No second design job.
Reading is a session. Listening is a routine.
A built-in player turns your podcast into a daily slot — the commute, the dishes, the dog walk. Lock-screen controls, home-screen widget, no second app to install.
Launch in weeks, not months
Fully customizable apps, built on a proven platform and integrated with the systems you already use. You send a logo, fonts, and colors. We handle the rest — including the app stores.
A one-time setup fee, then a monthly fee covering maintenance, hosting and the notification centre. The monthly fee scales with the size of your title.
- 1Brand it. Logo, colors, layout. No dev cycle.
- 2Connect it. LabradorCMS or the CMS you already run.
- 3Ship it. Privacy policy, artwork, store copy, review dialogue — we take it from you.
