How Trace works
A calmer way to catch up.
Three small steps between you and the stories worth your time.

Group the noise
When several publications report the same event, Trace puts that coverage into one story and keeps the original links attached.

A note from the person behind Trace
Hey, I am Tarat.
Trace is the first solo indie app I’ve built and launched. I put it out at the end of January 2026, and it got so much traction on Product Hunt that I decided to keep going.
Six months in, the app has changed a lot. I read every bit of feedback I can get and genuinely love working on it, making Trace more useful, clearer, and more worth opening for the people who use it.
On the personal side, I’m starting my master’s in AI at the University of Edinburgh this September. So anything you spend on Trace helps me keep building while I figure out student life and, honestly, survive it.
If you’re into investing or the US stock market, I also make StocksBrew. You can find more about me and the other things I’m building at tarat.space.
I’m a human, promise. For anything, feedback, ideas, bugs, or just a hello, email me at tomartarun2001@gmail.com.

Morning, here are the strongest signals in today’s Trace:
- 01Major lawsuit targets Anthropic over copyright theft
Sony Music and Warner Chappell have filed a lawsuit against **Anthropic** in California, accusing the AI company of conducting a **brazen campaign** of intellectual property theft. The lawsuit claims Anthropic illegally used thousands of copyrighted works, including iconic songs like **'Ain’t No Mountain High Enough'** and **'Livin’ On a Prayer'**, to train its AI model, **Claude**. The plaintiffs are seeking damages that could total several billion dollars if awarded maximum penalties.
- 02Vicariously hike the Appalachian in the gorgeous A Trail Tale
A Trail Tale, an interactive trail journal created by Andy Moliski and his brothers, invites users to experience the Appalachian Trail through engaging pixel art and a captivating original score. The game draws inspiration from classic titles like Oregon Trail and features a user interface that allows players to explore daily segments of the trail. As players click through the journey, they can learn about landmarks and track the protagonist's mental state and morale, influenced by factors like weather and scenery. This immersive experience encourages a reconnection with nature and the outdoors.
- 03Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller Sold Broadcom and Bought These Artificial Intelligence (AI) Giants Instead
Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller has fully exited his position in Broadcom, selling the stock after its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio reached as high as 40. Instead, he has significantly increased his investments in Amazon and Alphabet, both of which are ramping up capital expenditures on new data centers to meet surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) compute. Druckenmiller's strategy reflects a broader trend where major tech companies are gaining more control over their chip supply chains, as evidenced by Amazon's focus on deploying its custom Trainium chips in data centers.
