News

News is your private news reader. It pulls together global headlines, local stories, and any RSS feeds you follow, and organizes everything into tabs you control. Nothing tracks what you read, and there’s no algorithm deciding what you see.

Categories

The tabs across the top are categories:

• Global and Local are built in: a broad world feed and stories near you. Local follows you, too: away from home with your phone, the tab covers the town you are actually in, and it switches back the moment you are home.
• Your admin can add shared categories that show up for everyone in the home.
• You can add your own personal categories from any RSS feed.

Don’t care about a category? Hide it, and it drops out of your tabs without affecting anyone else.

Adding your own feeds

Paste the address of any blog or site that publishes an RSS feed and News starts pulling its latest stories into a category of your choosing. Your personal feeds are private to you.

Reading

Tap any story to open it in a clean reading view (just the text and images, matched to your light or dark theme) with the option to jump out to the original site. Stories refresh in the background so your tabs stay current.

Today dashboard

The same news powers the News widget on your Today dashboard, alongside weather, sports, on-this-day history, and more: a quick glance at the day without opening the full app.

Your privacy

Feeds are fetched by your own server and the list of what you follow and read stays in your account. No accounts, no trackers, no recommendation engine.
