ThinkPattern
The pattern behind the news
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Not another feed of headlines. We follow the day's news, track the people behind it, and show you how the story fits together. Free, no sign-up, no ads.
No single outlet tells the whole story. ThinkPattern uses AI to read across the media landscape at a scale no person could, structuring millions of articles into patterns you can actually follow. You get the full picture in one place, built for the way you read on your phone.
We turn the day's reporting into three ways to understand it. Stories tell you what happened. Perspectives connect the threads over time. Actors track the people behind the news. Each one is produced by our analysis from the underlying reporting, and everything traces back to the sources it came from.
STORIES
A clear, straightforward account of what happened, drawn from how multiple outlets covered it. See at a glance which sources are reporting a story, and check any of them for yourself.
PERSPECTIVES
The part a single story can't give you. This is where ThinkPattern goes deepest. We map the connections across millions of articles and the people, places, and events inside them, then analyze that web to surface the shifts and patterns that no single piece of reporting reveals. Every Perspective is sourced with direct quotes and citations, so you can see exactly how we got there — and every one can be read aloud, narrated with full lock-screen playback controls, for when your eyes are busy but your ears aren't.
ACTORS
Track the people driving the news. By linking every mention of a figure across the whole body of coverage, we build a living picture of where they stand, how their positions move as events unfold, and who they're aligned with or against. See their allies, their rivals, and what they're focused on now, all backed by the reporting.
BUILT FOR HOW YOU READ
ThinkPattern is a quiet, notebook-style reader. There's plenty to dig into when you have time, and quick reads for when you don't.
- Save for later. Build a reading list on your device and come back to it whenever you're ready.
- Listen. Perspectives can be read aloud, with playback continuing in the background and full controls on your lock screen — for the commute, the gym, or whenever you'd rather listen than look.
- Read offline. Your briefing caches automatically, so it's all there on a plane, on the subway, or off the grid.
- Quiet notifications. We only alert you when a story has a real development. A few a day at most, and you can turn them off entirely.
WHY THINKPATTERN?
- Complete coverage: See how the entire media landscape is covering a story, all in one place.
- Fully sourced: Every summary, perspective, or claim links directly to the reporting behind it.
- Built for focus. No autoplaying video, no engagement bait, no ads. Just reading — or listening.
ThinkPattern covers politics, business, technology, and global news. It's built for people who want to truly understand the world, not just keep up with it.
