Burgundy Journal: Daily News

About this app

News without the noise. The Burgundy Journal is a quiet news reader. It pulls coverage from a short, hand-picked list of trusted outlets, groups the stories that cover the same event, and writes a clear, neutral summary of each — so you can catch up on the day in a few minutes and get on with it. No account. No paywall. No infinite scroll engineered to keep you here. HOW IT WORKS • Vetted sources in, junk out. Coverage streams in from outlets like CNN, BBC News, Wired, TechCrunch, Yahoo Finance, NPR Health and Rolling Stone. No random blogs, no content farms. • One story, one card. When a dozen outlets chase the same event, you get a single card with one plain-language summary and links to every original. • The original is one tap away. Every summary links straight to the source reporting, and if a headline was rewritten you can tap to see the outlet's own. THE FEED Full-screen cards, one story each. Swipe through what's new; stories you've already seen sink to the bottom so you never re-read the same headline. EXPLORE A grid of the big stories right now, ranked by how many outlets are covering them. Tap one and keep reading into a feed built around that topic. SEARCH AND TIMELINES Search any topic — a company, a politician, a team, a bill — and see how the story has developed over time. Tap any highlighted keyword inside a summary to follow it. THE WEEKEND RECAP Every Monday, a 60-second story-style recap of the weekend's biggest stories. Swipe through it, or skip it. FILTERS • Topics: Politics, World, US, Business, Finance, Technology, Science, Health, Sports, Entertainment, Culture, Environment, Crime and Legal. Mute the ones you don't want. • Mood: show everything, hide the bad news, or switch to good news only. • Sources: choose which outlets appear. • Muted words: anything you never want to see again. WHAT WE DON'T DO • No sign-up, no email capture, no login wall. Open the app and the feed is there. • No subscription. The app is free, supported by a few unobtrusive ads instead of a paywall. • No clickbait. Headlines are rewritten to say what happened, and the original is always one tap away. Works on iPhone and iPad, in a dark, distraction-free design. Questions, or an outlet you'd like added: admin@burgundyjournal.com Privacy policy: burgundyjournal.com/privacy

3.0.3 • Headlines no longer run off the right edge of the card on iPhone. • Swiping through the feed is smoother — cards stopped re-rendering mid-swipe. • Ad cards were rebuilt: they load quietly, never shift the feed under your thumb, and the first card is always a story. • The app is fully account-free now. The leftover sign-in screens are gone. New to 3.0? Explore shows the big stories in a grid. The Feed is one full-screen card per story with a plain-language summary. Search follows any topic over time. And every Monday a 60-second Weekend Recap catches you up. No account, no paywall.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
