The free US news app that needs no account.
Swipe the news.
GetMyNews is a US news app without account: one headline card at a time from 37 US newsrooms, instead of an endless scroll. Swipe right on what you want to read, left on the rest — and when the deck runs out, you’re done. No sign-up, no paywall, nothing to install: free in your browser, or on Android.

What happens when you swipe a card?
Right keeps the story and asks for more like it, left drops it — and in the app both answers train the model on your phone. Drag the top card here, or use the buttons and the arrow keys.

The deck
Which US newsrooms does GetMyNews cover?
GetMyNews reads 92 public RSS feeds from 37 US newsrooms, in English. Public radio, network news, business desks, national dailies and specialist tech and science titles land in one deck, sorted by topic rather than by outlet.

GetMyNews is not affiliated with any of them — it reads the public feeds they publish, and always links back to their own site.
How it works
How does GetMyNews work without an account?
You answer two questions on first launch — your age range and the topics you follow — and the app builds a first deck of about 20 cards. No email, no password, no profile: both answers stay on the phone, and so does what the app learns from your swipes.
- 01
Tell the AI who you are
A conversational onboarding: your age and what you like, and the AI builds your starting feed in seconds.
- 02
Swipe
Every story is a full-screen card. Right: “interested”. Left: “not for me”. That simple.
- 03
Your feed tunes itself
The on-device AI learns from every swipe, right on your phone. The more you swipe, the more it looks like you.
Features
What can you do inside the app?
Five tabs, and nothing else to learn: Discover holds the deck, Max takes your instructions, My news keeps what you swiped right, To read keeps what you saved, Settings holds your profile. Tap Read the full story and the publisher’s own page opens in your browser.
Just tell Max what you want less of
Max is the assistant built into the app. Type “hide sports” or “add tech” and your deck changes on the spot — no settings menu to dig through, and nothing leaves the phone.
37 US newsrooms, one deck
NPR, NBC News, Bloomberg, The New York Times, TechCrunch and more — one deck instead of ten apps and twenty tabs.
The same story, several newsrooms
When five outlets cover one story, GetMyNews groups them into a single card — and shows you who else is reporting it.
Straight to the source
Tap a story and the publisher's own page opens in your phone's browser — their layout, your subscription if you have one, no copy in between.
My news and To read
Everything you swiped right waits in My news. Tap Read later on a story and it sits in the To read tab until you have time.
Share in one tap
Send a story to a friend in a single gesture, and the link takes them straight to it.
Free, no sign-up
Funded by a small banner and one full-screen ad every 20 stories. Nothing else, and nothing locked behind a paywall.
Privacy
What does GetMyNews know about you?
Nothing that names you. There is no account and no GetMyNews server, so what you swipe stays on the phone — but the app is ad-supported, and Google AdMob reads your Android advertising ID to serve those ads. You can change that choice under Settings → Ad privacy.
No account
No email, no password. Open the app and start swiping.
No server
There is no GetMyNews server collecting what you read.
On-device learning
The AI tunes your feed on your phone, and nowhere else.
Limits
Who is GetMyNews not for?
Anyone who needs news from outside the United States, or a reader on anything other than an Android phone. GetMyNews ships on Google Play only and sends no push notifications: unless you switch on the daily briefing in Settings, the deck waits until you open it.

Frequently asked
Straight answers, no fine print.
Do I need an account to use GetMyNews?
No. There is no account in the app at all: no email, no password, nothing stored under your name. You answer two questions on first launch — your age range and the topics you follow — and start swiping.
What happens to my data?
It goes nowhere: there is no GetMyNews server. Your taste is learned on your phone, and your swipes never feed an advertising profile on our side.
Is it really free?
Yes, entirely, and with no sign-up. It's funded by ads served by Google AdMob: a small banner plus one full-screen ad every 20 stories — that's it. Nothing is locked behind a paywall.
I switch phones — do I lose everything?
No. Your saved news and personalized feed follow your Android backup, like your other apps. Nothing to restore by hand.
Is it US news only?
Yes. GetMyNews currently covers 37 US newsrooms, in English — top stories, politics, business and markets, tech, science, sports and entertainment. Tapping Read the full story opens the publisher's own page in your phone's browser.
What are your sources?
92 public RSS feeds from 37 US newsrooms: public radio, network news, business desks, national dailies and specialist titles — NPR, CBS News, NBC News, Bloomberg, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch and more. An on-device model tags each story by topic, and the newsroom is always shown on the card. GetMyNews is not affiliated with any of them.
How do I get the app?
GetMyNews is free on Google Play for Android — no account to create and no waiting list. Download it, answer two quick questions and start swiping.
Does it work offline?
Cards already loaded stay readable without a connection, and so do your saved stories. You need to be online to load new cards and to open an article on the publisher's site.
