## What is BugleNews?

Bugle puts every news site and blog you follow in one timeline.

When several newsrooms cover the same story, Bugle shows one row with all of them. Coverage shows how the left, center and right reported it, with the headlines side by side and a note when only one side covered it. The day's biggest stories, the ones the most newsrooms are carrying, lead Home.

Features:
- Follow any RSS or Atom feed, sixteen suggested newsrooms, and local news for ten cities
- Stories grouped across outlets, with Coverage and blindspots
- Today: the five biggest stories first
- Follow topics, mute an outlet or a word
- Save stories whole, pictures included, to read offline
- Your Reading: the lean of what you actually open
- Search, text size, light and dark mode, Apple Watch
- Optional account that syncs feeds, saved stories, topics and mutes; reading never needs one
- No tracking, no ads

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 7.17.1 — 2026-10-26

Bugle has a mascot, a little horn with a smiling face, on a new launch splash, the icon, and a first-run topic picker. Home is redesigned the way Apple would build it, with a large title, a glass Briefing button and search at the bottom. Hacker News stories show the article and the whole comment thread. New Popular Left, Popular Right and Both Sides collections, unread dots, a compact layout, a shelf of your podcast shows, sharper lead pictures, and episodes that open on their cover.

### 6.1.0 — 2026-10-26

Podcasts. Fourteen shows come followed, from WSJ and Wall Street Breakfast to My First Million and Mel Robbins, and any podcast feed works like any other. Episodes play right in the app at up to 2x, with back 15 and forward 30, Up Next, a mini player above the tab bar, lock screen controls, and they pick up where you left off.

Also new since the last version:
- Three columns on iPad and Mac, with keyboard shortcuts.
- A Top Stories widget, Siri and Shortcuts, Spotlight and Handoff, and Share from Safari to follow a site or save a story.
- Listen: the system voice reads any story aloud.
- Paste a site address and Bugle finds its feed. OPML import and export. Tech and Mac sites to follow.
- Stories open in full even when a feed only sends a summary, with their reading time and a timeline of the days before.
- Unread counts, Mark All Read, and a Blindspots chip.
- Eleven languages, and better VoiceOver and Dynamic Type.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-10-26

Bugle 2.0. The day's biggest stories lead Home. Follow topics, mute an outlet or a word, and pick your city for local news. Sharper photos, pictures that stay offline, and an account that syncs saved stories, topics and mutes, not just feeds.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-29

Articles no longer run off the right edge of the screen. Feeds that use fixed-width cards, wide tables or long unbroken links now wrap to fit your phone, and the genuinely wide blocks scroll on their own instead of pushing the whole article sideways.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-26

Inkpress now starts with a real newsroom instead of a single blog. Fresh installs come subscribed to sixteen curated sources across Canadian, US and UK news plus tech, and every one of them is a normal subscription you can remove.

Removed a feed and want it back? Manage Feeds now has a Suggested list.

Also fixed: articles from sources that stamp their dates with a zone name rather than an offset were sorting to the top of the list no matter how old they were.
