Mosaic News – Build YOUR News
Transparent news built for YOU
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
See the whole story behind every headline, compare every side, shape the news in your feed, know your sources, and see your patterns. No ads, no accounts, total privacy.
News should inform you, not overwhelm you.
Most news apps hand you scattered headlines chosen by an algorithm you cannot see. Mosaic News puts the pieces together and hands you the controls.
SEE THE WHOLE STORY
→ Open one headline and step back. Mosaic brings together reporting from different publishers covering the same event, so you can move from one article to the whole Story and then zoom out to the larger Big Picture.
→Compare how the left, center, and right frame the same event. See who is covering it, notice where coverage is concentrated, and follow the narrative as it develops.
SHAPE YOUR FEED
→See why each story appears and change the Feed Formula that ranks your news.
→Tune topics and publishers, or switch Moods to choose the kind of feed you need right now. Catch Up when you are busy. Choose Feel-good when the news gets heavy. Go deeper when you want more context, or create a Mood of your own.
KNOW YOUR SOURCES
→ Open a Publisher Report Card to explore sourced information about a publisher’s political lean, factuality, credibility, reach, ownership, and history.
→ Mosaic shows where its information comes from, so you can inspect the evidence and decide for yourself.
SEE YOUR PATTERNS
→ Insights privately shows the topics, publishers, and perspectives shaping your attention. Your personal reading history stays on your device.
NOTHING HIDDEN. NOTHING SOLD.

Hey there!
A small update with some polish throughout Mosaic. More to come soon :)
• Summaries and Big Picture views are easier to read, especially on iOS 27.
• Discovery search is quicker to get you where you're going.
• Plenty of little UX touches to make Mosaic feel smoother across the app.
