Burgundy Journal: Daily News

Every story summarized in plain language. One card per story, even when a dozen outlets cover it. Vetted sources, no account, no paywall. Free on iPhone and iPad.

News without the noise.

The Burgundy Journal is a quiet news reader. It pulls coverage from a short, hand-picked list of trusted outlets, groups the stories that cover the same event, and writes a clear, neutral summary of each — so you can catch up on the day in a few minutes and get on with it.

No account. No paywall. No infinite scroll engineered to keep you here.

HOW IT WORKS • Vetted sources in, junk out. Coverage streams in from outlets like CNN, BBC News, Wired, TechCrunch, Yahoo Finance, NPR Health and Rolling Stone. No random blogs, no content farms. • One story, one card. When a dozen outlets chase the same event, you get a single card with one plain-language summary and links to every original. • The original is one tap away. Every summary links straight to the source reporting, and if a headline was rewritten you can tap to see the outlet's own.

THE FEED Full-screen cards, one story each. Swipe through what's new; stories you've already seen sink to the bottom so you never re-read the same headline.

EXPLORE A grid of the big stories right now, ranked by how many outlets are covering them. Tap one and keep reading into a feed built around that topic.

SEARCH AND TIMELINES Search any topic — a company, a politician, a team, a bill — and see how the story has developed over time. Tap any highlighted keyword inside a summary to follow it.

THE WEEKEND RECAP Every Monday, a 60-second story-style recap of the weekend's biggest stories. Swipe through it, or skip it.

FILTERS • Topics: Politics, World, US, Business, Finance, Technology, Science, Health, Sports, Entertainment, Culture, Environment, Crime and Legal. Mute the ones you don't want. • Mood: show everything, hide the bad news, or switch to good news only. • Sources: choose which outlets appear. • Muted words: anything you never want to see again.

WHAT WE DON'T DO • No sign-up, no email capture, no login wall. Open the app and the feed is there. • No subscription. The app is free, supported by a few unobtrusive ads instead of a paywall. • No clickbait. Headlines are rewritten to say what happened, and the original is always one tap away.

Works on iPhone and iPad, in a dark, distraction-free design.
