TruthLens: News Verifier
News Fact-Checker & Verifier
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
TruthLens tells you what's actually confirmed in the news — and what isn't.
Paste any news URL, type a claim, or tap a trending story. TruthLens searches live sources, detects whether apparent consensus is real or manufactured, and delivers a clear, honest verdict in seconds.
VERDICTS BASED ON SOURCE INDEPENDENCE
• Independently Verified — multiple truly independent sources confirm the facts
• Single Origin — multiple outlets, all citing the same original source
• Contested — dominant narrative challenged by independent sources
• Single Source — only one outlet reporting this so far
• Sources Conflict — no clear narrative, active disagreement
WIRE ECHO DETECTION
Ten outlets repeating one AP report is not confirmation. TruthLens detects when apparent consensus is just a single
claim being amplified, and shows you exactly which source everyone is citing.
KEY FEATURES
• Paste any article URL directly — TruthLens resolves it automatically
• Neutrality Score — measures how biased the language is (0–100)
• Verifiable Claims — specific factual statements with corroboration status
• Source trust scoring — tiered by domain (.gov, wire services, established outlets)
• Follow-up questions — ask deeper on any story, free of charge
• Full history — every query saved for later reference
VERIFICATION SETTINGS
Control how strict TruthLens is before issuing a verified verdict. Switch between Strict, Balanced, and Permissive
modes. Enable Primary Sources Only to filter to government, wire services, and established institutions.
10 free verifications per day.
