I often struggle to keep up with the fields I’m interested in. Sometimes I spend an hour or more jumping between tech news sites, X, and LinkedIn, only to feel like I’ve gained nothing.
That got me wondering: what if I could build a news tracker that gathers news from across the internet and just works for me?
So I built this, a personal news agent that follows your instructions. You just type in what you want to follow, like “recent crypto big things”, and the app will use AI to pull updates every few hours. It only fetches what you tell it to.
We tested it with 300 users on TestFlight (including friends here, thank you all!!) and found some use cases we expected and some we didn’t at all:
Tracking the latest research papers in very niche domains
Creating 30+ topics, some about industries, others about sports teams, specific types of movies, and more (the number surprised me)
Adult content (please don’t try it, we don’t support that at all right now lol)
With their feedback, we improved the in-app reading experience and added more sources to cover different topics. It’s not perfect yet, but we’d love more people to try it and share feedback. We just launched on the App Store, and you can find us there today!

If you have any interesting ideas for how you’d use the app, please let me know. It would be fun to brainstorm and build together!
congrats!! been using it for a while. glad to see it on the app store!
thank you for your support!!
“300 beta users is no joke. How did you pull in your first batch—friends/family, or outreach beyond your circle?”
hey we didn't pull in our friends. we got our users from reddit.
Congrats on the launch. The use case resonates a lot, especially for people juggling niche interests across scattered sources. The TestFlight feedback loop seems to have given you some solid direction already. I’m curious, how do you handle source reliability and prevent the feed from turning into noise?
thanks! we're using AI to semantic match with user's input if content is not relevant it won't be pushed.
