04Add-ons
Three add-ons for your app, switched on per brand in the Fyren Console.
Daily puzzles made from your own journalism.
AI drafts each day’s puzzle from your articles and your editors approve it. Every answer links back to the story behind it, and streaks bring readers back every day.
Play today’s puzzlesReaders ask, your archive answers.
App analytics without Google.
The app sends its usage straight to the Fyren Console, with no third party in between. You decide what is tracked, and the data stays yours.
“We achieved a rare thing, on time and on budget. Ard worked highly effectively to resolve all issues.”
§Strategic context
Search is changing under publishers’ feet. AI-generated answers resolve the query on the results page, so readers get what they came for without ever reaching your site — and traffic, engagement and subscription revenue are cut off at the source.
A native app is the strategic response. It is a walled garden: it bypasses search entirely and gives you a direct, push-notification-based relationship with your audience. Your readers, your content, your control — independent of anyone else’s algorithm.

07Questions
Three reasons: (1) we start with a proven, battle-tested platform instead of from scratch, (2) AI handles repetitive coding tasks, and (3) zero overhead means zero delays.
No. Each brand has complete design control. Colors, fonts, layouts and UI components are fully customizable. Your readers will see your brand, not a template.
We build custom features all the time. The difference is we can do it in weeks instead of months, and once built, it’s available for all brands (if desired).
AI is a tool, not a replacement. Senior developers review all code, make architectural decisions and ensure best practices. AI accelerates development; humans ensure excellence.
Yes. We can integrate with your existing CMS, preserve your analytics history and migrate user data. Most migrations complete in 4–6 weeks.
The platform is built to scale. We support brands with thousands of users. If you truly need something completely custom, you own your brand configuration and can fork the codebase.
