Is Republik down right now?
A Republik status problem tends to be quiet. The magazine loads, but the sign-in claims no membership exists, or a long article stops halfway. Republik down reports are rare, and they cluster around the login and the audio player rather than the front page.
Open a story while signed out and read the free preview. If previews load but members’ doors stay shut, the membership check is the fault. If even the front page fails, the platform itself is down.
Is Republik down for me or everyone?
Load republik.ch on a device where you never sign in. A clean public page there tells you the magazine is up. Your member session is the broken piece, not a Republik outage for all readers. Trouble on the clean device too means the platform carries it.
What does a membership open on Republik?
The membership opens the whole magazine: every investigation, essay and series, in app and website. There are no adverts and no lighter tier; the door is simply open or shut.
Guests read previews and the pieces members share with them. That sharing is part of the model, so a shared link failing is a real fault worth fixing.
How does the audio version of an article work?
Many articles carry a spoken version recorded for the app and the site. The player remembers your place, so a long investigation can travel from the kitchen speaker to the train headphones.
When the audio refuses while the text reads fine, the player stream is the broken part. The article itself stays open below it.
When does the daily briefing reach members?
The briefing email gathers the day into a short read and lands in member inboxes on its daily rhythm. A missing briefing is usually an email problem: a filter, a full inbox or an address change that never reached the account.
Can I read Republik without the app?
Yes, the full magazine reads in a normal browser, and many members prefer the big screen for the long pieces. The app adds the audio player comforts and the offline copies. Both doors read the same membership.
Common Republik Problems and Fixes
Republik faults live mostly in the membership check, the login email and the audio player. The repairs below follow that map.
Hunt the membership under the right address
Sign in on the website and open your membership page to see the state the system holds. Members sometimes pay under a private address and read under a work one. Once the reading happens under the paying address, the whole magazine opens.
Request a fresh login link and watch the spam folder
Ask for a new sign-in link from the app and check spam and promotions before the old link expires. Login links age quickly, so use the newest one only. If no mail arrives at all, the address in the account needs correcting.
Restart the audio from the article page
Close the player, reopen the article and start the spoken version from its own button. A stuck player often clings to a broken stream position. Starting fresh also restores the place memory for the rest of the piece.
Whitelist the briefing sender
Find an older briefing in your mail, mark the sender as trusted and add it to contacts. Filters learn senders one correction at a time. The membership page also shows whether the briefing is switched on for you.
Let the app keep your reading place
In the app settings, keep the reading progress option on and avoid force-closing the app mid-article. The place memory saves when the app closes gently. Reopening the article then lands on the paragraph you left.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a membership to read Republik?
The full magazine opens to members, while guests read previews and shared pieces. Membership is the only product; there is no free tier with adverts. A trial or a shared link gives a first taste.
Why does Republik have no advertising?
Members finance the magazine directly, so it carries no adverts and no sponsored pieces. That model is the founding idea of the house.
How does the Republik audio player work?
Open an article and start its spoken version from the player button. The player keeps your place when you pause or switch devices. If the sound refuses, reopening the article usually restarts the stream cleanly.
Can I share a Republik article with non-members?
Yes, members can share pieces, and guests open shared articles without a membership. The share button sits with the article. If a shared link asks your guest to pay at once, the link was likely copied halfway.
What is the Republik daily briefing?
It is a short email that sums up the day and points to the new pieces. Members switch it on in their account. A missing briefing usually ends up in spam or follows an address change.
Why does the Republik app forget my place in a long article?
The place memory saves when the app closes gently, and a hard force-close can lose the last stretch. Letting the app rest in the background keeps the marker. The website remembers the same place through your sign-in.
