About this app

No ads. No clickbait. Just the facts, covered rationally, for a few dollars a month. Simple.

The news is broken, but it doesn't have to be.

Most of the news you meet online wasn't built to inform you. It was built to keep you scrolling. When attention is what pays the bills, outrage is what sells, and the feed fills up with anxious headlines, autoplaying video, and clutter. The result is news that's more divisive, and harder to actually read, by design.

Friendly News is an alternative. No advertisers to please, no engagement targets to hit, and no algorithm deciding what should make you angry today. Just the day's news, covered plainly and paid for by the people who read it. Everyone has a right to know what's happening in the world without being farmed for it.
It's news, without the noise.
