Ripple News - AI Personal News
See How Each Story Affects You
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
iPhone
AI-powered news that shows how every story affects YOUR life, money, and household. Early bird: $5.99/mo (40% off) — only 250 spots.
Every news app tells you what happened. Ripple tells you why it matters — to you, specifically.
Here's the thing: the news is broken. Not because reporters aren't trying, but because every outlet has a lens. Left, right, sensational, understated — you're always getting someone's angle, whether you know it or not.
Ripple fixes that. We pull stories from dozens of sources and run them through AI that strips out the spin. What you get is the story — clean, clear, and actually useful.
But that's only half of it.
Tap "See The Ripple" on any story, and our AI analyzes how that specific headline affects your actual life. Your career. Your city. Your finances. Your family. Based on the profile you build when you sign up, every Ripple is different because every reader is different.
A new trade policy hits the wire? A banker in Detroit gets a different Ripple than a nurse in Nashville. That's the point.
WHAT YOU GET:
• A news feed that doesn't pick sides — stories from across the spectrum, neutralized by AI so you can form your own opinion.
• Ripples — personalized AI analysis that connects headlines to your life. Not generic "this might affect the economy" takes. Specific, relevant, yours.
• Home Screen widgets in 3 sizes so you can glance at the latest without opening the app.
• Dynamic Island alerts when fresh stories drop.
• Share cards for stories and Ripple analyses that actually look good when you send them.
• Save stories for later. Read them when you're ready.
THE HONEST PITCH:
Ripple was built by one person — a developer in the Midwest who got tired of reading the same story five different ways and still not knowing what it meant for his own life.
3 Ripples are free. After that, Ripple Premium unlocks unlimited personalized analysis for $9.99/month or $79.99/year. No ads, no data selling, just a subscription that keeps the lights on and the AI running.
Your news should work for you. Not the other way around.
