Legible News app for iPhone and iPad

Legible News makes you smarter. It was built in 2018 to deal with the shortcomings of US-based news organizations. Why do news websites not link directly to source materials? Why do they insist on loading extraneous images, videos, pop-ups, advertisements, and other crazy stuff that gets in the way of reading the news? Is everything really breaking coverage?

DAILY NEWS

Read only the most important global news headlines once per day at exactly 5:00pm. Theres no distracting "breaking news alerts", crazy ads, pop-ups, videos, or other insanity. Its just you, the headlines, and lots of contextual links that actually teach you whats happening behind the news.

Read todays headlines for free or subscribe and well email it to you.

THE WEEKLY EDITION

Read even less news. Every Friday we take the weeks news, put it on one page, and show it to you so you only have to read the news once per week. Thats 52 days out of the year youll read the news leaving the other 313 days free for you to focus on other more important stuff in your life.

INBOX

Get The Weekly Edition or Todays news delivered directly to your email inbox so you dont even have to open a browser. Theres no tracking pixels either so your news remains private.

FOCUS

Turn on focus and when you click on a Wikipedia link, well show you just the text so you can stay focused on reading and not get distracted by images, navigation, footers, donation requests (dont worry, we donate $1 of your subscription to Wikimedia), and all the other stuff that appears on Wikipedia pages.

TIME MACHINE

Go back in time and read the news from last week, a year ago, or all the way back to 10 years ago.
