The News briefing

A briefing, not a feed

Twice a day, morning and evening, a short briefing appears in your menu. It's a fixed handful of items, and then you're done. No infinite scroll, no "more stories for you", no pull to keep going. You read it the way you'd read a note someone left on the counter: start to finish, then get on with your day.

The same for everyone

Nothing in the briefing is picked for you specifically. Every reader on boopr gets the identical briefing, in the identical order. There's no ranking based on what you tapped yesterday, because we don't know what you tapped yesterday, and the briefing isn't built per person in the first place.

Written by a machine, and labeled

The briefing is written by a machine, checked against its sources, and labeled as such. There's no newsroom behind it, and we don't pretend otherwise. Items come from primary official sources, like government releases and agency data, and every item shows the sources it came from, so you can go read the original yourself.

How News respects your privacy

• Reading is private. We can't tell what you read, what you tap, or whether you opened the briefing at all. Nothing about your reading goes back to us.
• Everyone gets the same bundle. Because the briefing is identical for every reader, opening it reveals nothing about you.
• Hiding it is private too. If you turn News off, that choice stays on your phone. We aren't told.

Hiding News

Don't want news in your private app at all? Fair. Turning it off takes about five seconds:

1. Open Settings

   From the menu, tap Settings.

2. Tap News

   It has exactly one option.

3. Turn off "Show News"

   News disappears from your menu. Flip it back on any time.

No notifications, no cost

News never sends a notification. The briefing waits in your menu until you feel like it, and if you never feel like it, nothing chases you. It's free for every account.
