NewsBytz

Pick a topic: your sport, your industry, your city. Tomorrow morning, up to three stories about it, why they matter, and the outlets that reported it. Then you're done.

Most news apps are built to be opened all day. News Bytes is built to be finished before your coffee is.

Pick a topic in your own words: "Formula 1", "semiconductor policy", "Chicago city council", "the WNBA". Every morning you get up to three stories about it, each with a short summary, why it matters, and a numbered list of the outlets that reported it. Tap any source to read the original article at the publisher's own site.

Then it stops. There is no feed, no infinite scroll, and nothing waiting for you when you come back.

EVERY STORY IS SOURCED Each story is built from published reporting and carries the outlets it came from. A story we can't ground in real reporting is discarded rather than published. An assistant that will confidently make up the news is the one bug a news app cannot ship with.

MORE THAN ONE OUTLET We search a second time for each topic, asking specifically for coverage from outlets that don't agree with each other, so a story arrives with a range of who reported it rather than the first five results.

LISTEN INSTEAD Every briefing comes with a spoken version, with lock-screen and headphone controls, for the commute, the gym, or the kitchen.

ARRIVES WHEN YOU WANT IT One notification, at the time you pick, in your own time zone, and it follows you when you travel. Mute a single topic or all of them from Settings without losing anything.

FOLLOW AS MANY TOPICS AS YOU LIKE Each topic gets its own briefing and its own three stories. Add one the moment you're curious; drop it the moment you're not.

QUIET BY DESIGN No ads. No account to fill out beyond signing in with Apple or Google. We don't record which stories you open, which sources you tap, or what you listen to, and there is no advertising or analytics SDK in the app. Delete your account from Settings and it's gone immediately.
