Dark Spot

2025

 It’s not that we don’t care; we just forget too easily.

Dark Spot is a news tracking app centred on the concept of ‘social memory’. Unlike news platforms that chase trending topics and are often filled with entertainment gossip, Dark Spot places time at the core of its design. Through timeline tracking and regular reminders, it ensures that events swept away by the tide of public attention, and those that remain unresolved, stay in view.






Why do we need Dark Spot? When a brand scandal breaks, companies often only need to ‘weather the storm’ to come out unscathed. Without sustained public pressure, accountability is difficult to enforce. Dark Spot aims to embed social issues into everyday life for those who care about justice, turning memory into a public mechanism that can be collectively maintained.





Core Features Dark Spot draws inspiration from the memory curve used in vocabulary learning apps and applies it to news tracking.
