SourceAI

Signal over noise. Always.

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad

The world is loud. Your news doesn’t have to be. SourceAI is a minimalist news reader for people who are tired of doomscrolling, clickbait, and endless noise. Using Apple Intelligence and fully on-device processing, it cuts through clutter and surfaces what actually matters — no hype, no outrage, just signal. It gathers articles from trusted, credible publications and quietly merges duplicate stories into a single, factual brief. Sensational or repetitive pieces are filtered out, leaving only clear, balanced coverage you can actually absorb. You control the tone and intensity with three reading modes: Minimal shows uplifting, positive stories only; Filtered provides balanced, moderate coverage; and Unfiltered gives you everything, unedited. Every story can be saved for offline reading, so you can stay informed anywhere — without relying on a connection or another news app. Updates arrive through smart, respectful notifications that adapt to your habits. They appear just often enough to keep you current, never enough to interrupt your day. The design is deliberately simple. There are no ads, no clutter, no distractions. Feeds load instantly, typography is elegant, and Dark Mode feels native. It’s built for calm, efficient reading — not engagement metrics. Everything happens privately on your device. SourceAI doesn’t track you, build a profile, or send your data anywhere. Apple Intelligence handles story analysis and summarization entirely on-device, so what you read stays yours alone. The free version gives you the full experience: a smart feed powered by Apple Intelligence, all three intensity modes, offline reading, and basic notifications — with complete privacy. The optional Premium plan ($0.99/month) adds more control with custom RSS sources, advanced filtering and keyword muting, faster refresh intervals, and priority support. Most news apps are designed to keep you scrolling. SourceAI is designed to help you stop. It’s for readers who want clarity, focus, and peace of mind — a quiet space in the middle of the modern news cycle. SourceAI Premium renews monthly for $0.99 USD (price may vary by region) and auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before renewal. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

v. 1.1.1 General bug fixes & performance improvements, including fix for large batches of notifications being sent at once. Customizable Priority Notifications: You now have full control over the 0–200 article scoring system powered by on-device Apple Intelligence. A new score slider (50–150) lets you decide which articles are sent immediately versus staggered throughout the day—raise the number to receive fewer, higher-priority alerts or lower it to get more frequent updates, with clear in-app explanations to help you understand how scores are calculated and used. Breaking news alerts, if enabled, are not affected by this. Should you encounter any issues or have general feedback, please utilize the "Contact Support" option in Settings!
