Inside the app
How it reads
No feed, no scroll, no notifications begging for your attention. One mystery, and then your day starts.
Chapter one
What is Anomalia?
Every morning, a single story appears. A vanished ship. A signal from the sky. A town that has burned underground for sixty years. One mystery, chosen for you, ready to be read with the first cup of coffee.
Anomalia is a daily ritual, not a feed. There are no infinite scrolls, no notifications begging for your attention, no algorithms learning what to sell you next. Just one quiet artefact a day, written like a paragraph from a documentary — calm, verified, and unafraid to leave the question open.
We keep it PG. We cite our sources. We treat the unknown with curiosity, not fear. Five minutes is enough.
Chapter two
What you’ll discover
Seven categories of the unexplained, each pulled from history, science, and the quiet corners of the world.
-
Strange phenomena
Ball lightning, the Wow! signal, sky sounds without source.
-
Forgotten inventions
The theremin, the mechanical television, machines time left behind.
-
Unsolved mysteries
Dyatlov Pass, the Lead Masks of Vintém Hill, files still open.
-
Lost places
Centralia still burns. Hashima sits empty. Maps go quiet.
-
Bizarre history
The Dancing Plague of 1518. A town that could not stop moving.
-
Curious coincidences
Mark Twain arrived with Halley’s comet. He left with it too.
-
Cryptids & legends
Folklore with a paper trail, from every continent.
Chapter three
Why Anomalia
Always PG
Mystery without horror. We don’t trade in fear, gore, or conspiracy. Every story is one you could share at breakfast.
Five minutes, with your coffee
One artefact a day, written to be finished before the cup is cold. A small, repeatable ritual — not another thing to fall behind on.

Frequently asked questions
Is Anomalia free?
Partially. The first 5 mysteries you read are free, and they stay yours to keep — counted in mysteries read, not in days, so nothing runs out while you are away. After that, reading continues with a subscription: from €0.99/month or €9.49/year, which also unlocks the full archive of past mysteries.
How long is each mystery?
About five minutes. 150 to 180 words, finished before your coffee gets cold. The kind of length you read in one sitting, not in chunks.
How do I receive the anomalies?
Anomalia is available on Android and as a web reader. Each day's mystery is waiting from midnight in your own time zone, and Android can send one quiet daily notification. We don't send stories by email — the new mystery and full archive live in the app and web reader.
Is this just trivia?
No. Each mystery is a narrative with a beginning, a middle, and an unsolved edge. We are closer to narrative non-fiction than to a flashcard. Every story is generated by an LLM and then verified by a second LLM pass before publication.
What languages are supported?
Twelve. The interface and the mysteries themselves — not just the buttons — are available in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Polish, Dutch and Catalan. You pick your language inside the app, and this website is published in the same twelve.
