GNBN: Balanced News

A little news. A clear stopping point. GNBN offers a small daily selection of encouraging and difficult stories in up to three pairs. Explore the reporting behind each AI-assisted summary, then stop and check how the news is landing. • Up to three paired views, with an unmistakable end • Previous, Next and Finish controls alongside swiping • Linked publisher sources and original headlines where included in the edition • Honest shorter packs when fewer usable stories are available • Downloaded packs available offline • An optional private balance check stored on your device • Light and dark appearance • No account, infinite feed or streak pressure HOW THE STORIES ARE MADE Our Cloudflare-hosted service gathers public publisher feed material. Workers AI helps select and summarise those headlines and snippets. Summaries can make mistakes or miss context; the linked original report is the source of record. Multiple links do not automatically mean a story was independently cross-checked. Publisher publication dates refer to the original reports; GNBN's curation time marks when a pack was assembled. LESS CAN BE THE RIGHT AMOUNT An Auckland editorial day may have fewer than three usable pairs, or no ready pack. We do not invent extra stories to fill the quota. This is a bounded editorial selection, not comprehensive coverage or a promise of political neutrality. YOUR CHECK-IN IS YOURS Balance responses, history and preferences stay on your device and are not sent to our curation API or AI model. Fetching packs contacts Cloudflare; opening an HTTP(S) source contacts that publisher in your browser. Those connections expose ordinary request metadata such as your IP address. Cached reading works offline, while downloading new packs or opening publisher links requires a connection. There is no account or cloud backup for your local balance history. Uninstalling can remove it.
