About this app
OptOut is a free news aggregation app that brings you the best of independent media. Read, listen to, and watch news content from financially independent sources—news you won’t find anywhere else.
NEWS WITHOUT CORPORATE BIAS
All content comes from news outlets that are financially independent. No corporate owners. No institutional bias. No conflicts of interest.
OVERLOOKED STORIES THAT MATTER
We feature investigative reporting and stories about climate, democracy, justice, labor, and other important topics. We have a special focus on voices traditionally underrepresented in the media industry.
CURATED BY JOURNALISTS
A diverse team of experienced journalists hand-curates the news of the day, not corporate algorithms designed to boost profitable content.
PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE
Follow outlets and individual journalists to create your own personalized feed.
PROTECTING YOUR DATA
OptOut respects your privacy by design and does not sell your preferences or browsing history to advertising firms.
A NONPROFIT RUN BY JOURNALISTS
This app is a project of the OptOut Media Foundation, a nonprofit charity founded and led by journalists, not Big Tech. We’re funded by grants and by you, our audience, not corporations or Wall Street.
Opt Out of the corporate media. Opt in to independent news you can trust.

Can't find any settings options, no dark mode, too much eye strain for me.

I have found this app easy to use and to customize to my preferences for type of intake (written articles versus videos versus podcasts) and content areas. I look forward to more news organizations joining!

I wanted an unbiased, independent news feed which Opt Out supposedly is. However the app is so poor with predominantly video feeds and no way to change to text only. Unusable for me, so I'm trying AP.
What's new
We've fixed an issue that was preventing certain types of notifications from being received, and made other bug fixes and performance improvements.
