iOS · LAUNCH 2026
nwsly is a daily news app that delivers exactly five AI-analyzed briefs — three national, one local, one state — then closes you out with "you're caught up, see you tomorrow." Each story is an 80–120-word brief drawn from 3–5 source articles. The free product is finite by design — five minutes a day, five cards, no infinite feed. nwsly+ ($100/yr) adds source bias ratings (Left / Lean Left / Center / Lean Right / Right, with factuality and ownership disclosure) and unlimited additional stories. No ads, no data sales, subscriptions only.

● ON THE RECORD
Brief Generation
Each 80–120-word brief is analyzed by Claude (Anthropic) across 3–5 source articles.
Human Review
Every brief is reviewed by a human editor for accuracy, framing, and source mix before publishing. No brief publishes unreviewed in Year 1.
Source Ratings (nwsly+ feature)
Our in-house source profiles (Left / Lean L / Center / Lean R / Right · Factuality · Ownership · Funding) are editorial judgments, informed by — not licensed from — AllSides, AdFontes, and MBFC. Surfaced inside the app on the nwsly+ tier.
Errors
Corrections are issued on the card itself, dated, and surfaced to anyone who already read the brief.
