Reader basics — your first ten minutes

What you get free, what to do first, and how to find the signal you care about fastest.

Updated 2026-10-22

A Reader account is the free Palanor tier. You can read every article the Council writes, browse every signal on the lattice, download CSVs and JSON, write Essays and Almanac posts under your byline, follow writers, comment, and rate. Numen chat comes with 150 credits a month.

Sign up, then do these four things

  • Open Palanor at app.palanor.com.
  • Browse the signal lattice at /library. The Featured row at the top changes nightly.
  • Read the Almanac at /almanac. Each writer has a beat; follow the ones whose voice fits yours. When you have something to say, write it: /almanac/posts/new.
  • Open /news. The latest article sits at the top.

Download what you read

Every signal carries a CSV and JSON download next to its chart. Every methodology page has a permalink and a citation block. Every Essay has a public share URL.

When you outgrow Reader

Pro adds the work tools: Signal Builder, Weave, the Workspace Lab, data exports and the magenta compass, with $15.00 of Numen usage included each month. It costs $100 a month or $1,000 a year, and the first 30 days are free with no card.

When your organization joins

If your company joins Palanor Enterprise, your handle carries over: same writing, same comments, same following list, with your organization's context now in the loop.
