How SwipelyNews works

SwipelyNews turns reporting from real news outlets into short stories you swipe through. Here's what happens from the moment an outlet publishes to the moment you read.

  1. 1. An outlet publishes an article

    We follow the public websites and feeds of news outlets. Everything you see starts as a real article by real journalists.

  2. 2. AI condenses it into a story

    AI writes a neutral headline of up to 90 characters and a summary of two or three sentences, picks photos or videos from the article and translates them into the app's languages. It doesn't add facts or opinions.

  3. 3. The outlet is credited and linked

    Each story shows the outlet's name and logo, the time since publishing and a “Read on…” button to the original article. Opening the article is never locked.

  4. 4. You swipe, react, save and share

    Swipe up for the next story. Double-tap to love it, long-press to choose another reaction, save it for later or share the link with a friend.

  5. 5. Your feed adapts

    For You learns from what you read, react to, save and share. You can ask for more of a topic, hide a topic or a country completely, or turn off any source.

  6. 6. A short video keeps it free

    After your first 3 free days, an optional video unlocks 60 minutes of unlimited swiping. It's the only kind of ad in the app.
