The Couch Insider is an independent technology publication. We help everyday readers make sense of the devices, apps and services they use, so they can decide what to buy, when to upgrade and how to stay safe online.

What we cover

  • Gaming and consoles: PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, PC gaming hardware and subscription services.
  • Smartphones and personal tech: phones, cameras, earbuds, wearables and the software that runs them.
  • AI and software: AI assistants, apps and the platforms behind them.
  • Privacy and security: passwords and passkeys, VPNs, browsers and online scams.
  • Tech economy: how prices, supply chains and company decisions affect what you pay and what you can buy.

You will also find earlier articles on health, food, pets and cars in our archive. Technology is our focus going forward.

Why we publish

Tech news moves fast and is often written for insiders. We write for the person who has to live with the decision: someone choosing between two consoles, wondering whether an update is worth installing, or trying to tell a real deal from a scam. Every article should leave you with a clear answer and the context to act on it.

How we create our content

  • Research and sources: we work from manufacturer announcements, official documentation, reputable reporting and community discussion, and we link to primary sources so you can check the facts yourself.
  • Bylines and dates: every article shows who wrote it, when it was published and when it was last updated. We only change the “last updated” date when we make a meaningful change to the article.
  • Use of AI: we may use AI tools to help with research, outlines and drafts. A human editor is responsible for every article we publish, including its accuracy.
  • Headlines and images: our headlines and images should describe what the article actually contains. If a headline promises an answer, the article should deliver it.
