NewsDiary
The Informed Reader
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
NewsDiary turns the news you read into something you keep.
READ IT HERE
Browse to any article inside NewsDiary and save it in a tap — or share a link from Safari. The page renders in your own logged-in browser, so articles that defeat other readers come through intact.
LAYERS, ONLY WHEN YOU WANT THEM
Add AI layers over what you are reading: a summary, a read on bias, fact-checks, background context, and the people and places involved. Each one names the model that produced it. Layers are off until you ask for them, so your reading stays clean.
On iOS 26 and later, summaries can run on-device with Apple Intelligence — the article never leaves your phone.
MARK IT UP
Highlight passages, write notes, or record a voice note and have it transcribed. Your marks stay private unless you choose to share them.
YOUR DIARY
Everything you save lands in a personal, searchable diary, kept by day. Keep a reading list of what is next, and write your own posts when you have something to say.
LOUNGES
Closed groups for people who read together: shared articles, discussion threaded onto the exact passage, and end-to-end-encrypted chat. No public feed, no follower counts, no algorithm deciding what you see.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads. No third-party analytics. No tracking of any kind. Export your reading whenever you like, or delete your account and it is gone for good.
Free.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Dig deeper answers at once. Open it and it answers three questions about the article, with numbered sources. Ask a follow-up in the box under the answer.
Missing context now looks each gap up. Every gap gets a short answer from pages found on the web, with links to them.
More Layers: Illustrations, Timelines, Concepts and Language learner. They stay off until you switch them on in Layers.
When something fails, a short note says so and goes by itself. Tap Report to send it to us.
You can flag a finding as offensive or harmful. On iPad, Missing context keeps its answers when you move it into the text.
