## What is Inkline?

When a name you watch runs in the world's press, Inkline shows you - a client, a competitor, your own. Follow the journalists on your beat, by byline. Turn coverage into a report worth sending.

Inkline is free to read, and there is no clock running. A checked directory of 5,175 publications across 105 markets and 72 languages. Nothing you read leaves the phone.

THE ATLAS
The world's press on one globe. 5,175 publications across 105 markets, browsable by subject and by kind: national, local, trade. Tap any title to read its last ten stories before you follow it.

FREE, AND NOT A TRIAL
• Follow up to 50 publications: pick them from the Atlas, find one by name, or import the list you keep - and take it back out as OPML.
• The whole article, set in your own typography: four faces including OpenDyslexic, four contrast modes, your size, your spacing.
• Highlight a line to keep the quote. Write the note against the story. Find both again by searching.
• Reads with no signal. Words and photographs are already on the phone.
• Widgets, Spotlight, Siri, and a share extension that follows a publication right from Safari.
• Any story read aloud, in a voice that runs on the device.

INKLINE PRO, FOR WHEN THE NEWS IS YOUR JOB
• Monitors watch coverage across the world's press, not only the titles you follow, and can alert you when a name or a subject runs somewhere new.
• Every watched word carries its own numbers: volume over time, share of voice, the outlets driving it, and a flag when the line jumps.
• Coverage reports turn a watched word into a document: what ran, where, and how it compares with the period before. Frozen, so it keeps what it found, and ready to send on.
• Voices follows the byline. Inkline reads the author of every story that arrives and builds one stream for that reporter.
• Inkline Radio writes and speaks your briefing on the device, so it plays with no signal.
• Today's Brief condenses the last twelve hours. Compare Coverage lays one story out across every publication running it and reads how the framing moves.
• Publications beyond the free fifty.

Inkline Radio, Today's Brief and Compare Coverage are written on your device by Apple Intelligence, so they need a device that supports it, and nothing you read is sent anywhere.

READ IT PROPERLY
Today leads on the story most of your publications are running rather than the newest one, with a world desk of translated headlines beneath it. The Wire is everything, newest first, clearing as you scroll past it. When a publication files only an excerpt, Inkline fetches the rest in the background, so the reader, the search and the voice have the article, not a teaser.

WHERE EVERY TITLE STANDS ON GENERATIVE AI
Every publication in the directory carries its owner's public position on generative AI: licensed to an AI company, and named; blocking the crawlers or litigating; or nothing on record. Filter the whole directory by it. Coverage in a licensed title can reach an assistant's answers; coverage in a blocking one is being kept out of them. Compiled from public sources — licensing announcements, court filings and publishers' own crawler policies — and dated on the page.

NOTHING LEAVES THE PHONE
No account. No ads. No tracking. No data sold. Your publications, your notes and your watched words stay on your device, and the AI runs there too.

Built to be read by everyone: Dynamic Type throughout, full VoiceOver support, and color modes that meet WCAG AA contrast.

Made by White Wiki. Requires iOS 18.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-08-17

THE ATLAS
The world's press on one globe: 5,175 publications across 105 markets. Turn it, choose a market, narrow by subject, and tap any title to read its last ten stories before you decide to follow it.

COVERAGE REPORTS
Turn a word you are watching into a document - what ran, where, and how it compares with the period before, with room to write what it means. It is a snapshot: whatever happens to those stories later, the report keeps what it found. Library, then Reports.

NUMBERS FOR EVERY WATCHED WORD
Volume over time, share of voice, the outlets driving it, and a flag when the line jumps. Measured on your device, from coverage you already have.

TODAY, REWRITTEN
The front page now leads on the story most publications are running rather than the newest one. A world desk carries headlines from ten markets, translated. Breaking takes you round the globe, market by market.

WHERE EVERY TITLE STANDS ON GENERATIVE AI
All 5,175 titles in the directory now carry their owner's public position on generative AI: licensed to an AI company, and to which one; blocking the crawlers or litigating; or nothing on record. Filter the whole directory by it. Compiled from public sources and dated 16 August 2026.

ALSO
Home Screen widgets redrawn. Cleaner article text when a publication files only an excerpt. Export your publications as OPML. The in-app browser can now answer cookie notices for you - always refusing, never accepting. Noticeably kinder on the battery, and a pass over VoiceOver and Dynamic Type.

### 1.5 — 2026-08-05

Inkline Radio performance enhancements.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-05

Inkline is now free to read. Reading, the reader, offline, bookmarks, highlights, notes and search are yours with up to 50 publications, and you can move any of them between categories.

A new front page. Today opens on the lead story with its headline above the photograph, the publications that also ran it one tap away, and each of your categories beneath. If you preferred the old arrangement it is still there - Editorial or Classic, from the gear at the top.

Inkline Radio reads the day to you. Your front page, a category, a watchword's coverage or a single story, written and spoken entirely on the device, so it works with no signal. It reads English.

Watch has become a tab of its own: keywords, the journalists you follow and your mutes in one place, led by whatever has actually caught something.

Notes open on a full page with the story kept in view, counting words and saving as you write. The Library keeps what you saved, what you wrote and what they said on separate shelves.

Inkline Pro adds web-wide watchwords and alerts, the spoken briefings, the on-device AI Brief and Compare Coverage, Voices, and unlimited publications - now monthly as well as yearly, each with a one-week free trial.

Also in this release: a subscription you already pay for now works inside Inkline - sign in at the publication and it is remembered - and a story we can only get the opening lines of says so instead of pretending that is the article.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-25

• Compare coverage on a timeline - see who broke a story, who followed, and whether it's one wire recycled or a story gaining traction. On supported devices, an on-device read shows how the framing shifts as it spreads.
• New Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: Latest, Coverage, and Trending.
• Import your feeds from another reader (OPML), and start fresh anytime from Settings.
• Performance improvements and bug fixes.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-20

The Editorial Update - Inkline's biggest release yet.

• A directory of 800+ hand-checked publications. Browse the world's best outlets by topic and in your language, and add any in a tap.
• One search for everything. Type once to find publications to follow, stories already in your news, and topics to monitor across the web.
• Voices, reimagined. See the journalists behind your feeds, grouped by publication - follow anyone in a tap.
• Compare the coverage. When several of your outlets run the same story, read every version side by side.
• A calmer, sharper look, drawn from Inkline's own ink-and-ripple mark.

Faster, smoother, and upgraded for the newsroom.
