Finite: Stop Doomscrolling

News with a clear ending

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Choose publications you trust, read a deliberately limited morning or evening edition, then stop. No infinite feed or endless recommendations. The news should have an ending. Finite creates a small morning or evening news edition from publications you choose. Each edition contains a clearly limited set of stories, stays stable once it has been prepared, and finishes with a real “You finished the news” screen. CHOOSE YOUR PUBLICATIONS Add trusted RSS and Atom feeds or begin with the suggested publication directory. Finite does not build an opaque interest profile or fill your screen with algorithmic recommendations. READ A FINITE EDITION Choose a five-story edition, or unlock ten-story editions with Finite Premium. Open each story at its original publisher, deliberately skip it, or save it for later. Every edition has a visible end. FINISH THE NEWS There is no Load More button, infinite scroll or stream of related articles after completion. Once your edition is complete, Finite tells you that you are done. BUILD A CALMER ROUTINE Choose a morning edition, an evening edition, or both. Optional reminders help you read the news at a deliberate time instead of repeatedly checking feeds throughout the day. UNDERSTAND YOUR HABIT See completed editions, reading consistency and a clearly labelled estimate of time reclaimed compared with your self-reported news routine. Optional challenges help you try a calmer relationship with the news without turning the app into another source of pressure. LOCAL-FIRST PRIVACY Finite requires no account. Your publication choices, editions and reading history are stored locally on your device. Articles remain with their publishers and open using Apple’s secure in-app browser. Finite does not scrape or reproduce complete articles. FINITE PREMIUM Finite Premium unlocks: • Morning and evening editions • Ten-story editions • Unlimited publications • Preferred-source controls • OPML import and export • Additional progress tools Subscription pricing and terms are displayed before purchase.
