Dense: Tiny News Widget

Description

Tiny news. One small widget. Dense puts short news summaries on your Home Screen or Mac desktop, so you can catch up without an endless scroll. Choose a topic and read a short AI-written digest of current headlines. The summaries appear in the widget itself. You get the essentials without opening the app, and new stories are highlighted when the digest changes. A LITTLE NEWS, THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY - Read several news summaries in one widget. - Choose from seven topics: world news, US news, UK news, technology, US politics, US business, and US sports. - Spot new stories through highlighted text. - Tap the widget to browse earlier digests in Dense. - Open available source articles from the app when you want more context. PICK A TOPIC. ADD A WIDGET. Put a briefing on your iPhone or iPad Home Screen, or on your Mac desktop. Add widgets for the topics you follow and choose a background that fits your screen. Dense handles the AI summaries, with no API keys to set up. READ MORE WHEN YOU WANT TO The app keeps a history of digests and shows available article links beneath their stories. Read a quick summary now, then follow a source when a story deserves more of your time. Want a different view of the news? Use Story Explorer to filter by mood, from Doom to Bloom, and by impact, from minor to major. Select a point on the chart to highlight its story, or browse a topic's digest history to see how its mood changes over time. Built by Peter, an independent developer who wanted news to take up less of the day.
