NewsGator: News Aggregator

NewsGator is a news aggregator built to end information overload. It gathers every article covering the same real-world event, from all your sources, into a single Story. It gives that story a realistic, clickbait-free title and keeps a neutral summary up to date as new facts emerge. Then it sends you to the original publisher, so the people who did the reporting get your visit. ONE EVENT, ONE STORY • Story Clustering: Multiple articles reporting on the same event are merged into a single Story card. No more scrolling past twenty headlines about the exact same announcement. • Honest Titles: Every story gets a factual title that says what happened. No clickbait. • Living Summaries: The summary is refined as new facts emerge, and the story is badged "updated" — never returning already-read news as unread. READ THE SOURCE, SUPPORT ITS AUTHOR Interested in a story? One tap opens the original publisher's website, so your visit, subscription or ad views go to the journalists who did the work. The summary is a triage tool, not a replacement for real journalism. RUN IT YOUR WAY: TWO POWERFUL ENGINES • Standalone with Apple Intelligence: No server or subscription required. Runs entirely on your Apple devices using Apple Foundation Models (Apple Private Cloud Compute and on-device System Language Models). Your feeds and read states sync seamlessly across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac via your private iCloud account. • Optional Server Mode: Connect to a self-hosted NewsGator server for centralized multi-user ingestion, any OpenAI-compatible AI of your choice (oMLX, Ollama, LM Studio…), IMAP newsletter mailboxes, and third-party RSS reader sync (FreshRSS, Miniflux, Inoreader). INTERACTIVE ARCHIVE CHAT • Chat Your Archive: Need to recall where or when you read something? Ask questions directly to your news library. Answers are grounded in your stored stories and cite clickable source cards.
