## What is Science News & Discovery?

The whole world of science, in your pocket.

Science News brings together the best science coverage from across the web, all in one app. No algorithms. No editorial bias. No account required. Just the latest research, discoveries, and breakthroughs from the sources you trust, delivered as they break.

UNFILTERED NEWS, CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER

Unlike big tech news apps, Science News doesn't use algorithms to decide what you see. Every article arrives in chronological order from real, trusted sources, updated continuously. You control which sources appear. You can even add your own RSS feeds manually. Your feed, your rules.

A CLEAN READING EXPERIENCE

Articles open full-screen inside the app, free from cookie banners, popups, and the ad clutter that fills most news websites. Read without distraction.

YOUR PERSONAL SCIENCE ARCHIVE

Every article and video is saved locally on your device. No cloud, no servers. The result is a growing personal archive that only you can access. Missed a study from last week? It's still there. Use the instant search to filter through thousands of saved articles in milliseconds, by keyword, source, or topic. It works like your own private science library that gets bigger every day.

OFFLINE READING

Because articles are saved locally, you can read them anytime, even without an internet connection. Perfect for commutes, flights, or anywhere signal drops out.

CURATED VIDEO

Watch handpicked science videos from leading channels: quantum experiments, cosmic discoveries, deep dives, and expert explainers. All in one dedicated section.

BREAKING STORY ALERTS

Get a notification when a science story is picked up by several of your sources at once. Not every headline. Not a daily digest. One or two a day at most, only when the science world is talking about the same thing. Tap it and the story opens right in the app. Turn alerts on or off any time in Settings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

We don't profile you. Your reading habits, bookmarks, searches, and source preferences stay on your device, we can't see them or send them to a server, we don't analyze them, and we don't sell them. There's no user profile being built by AppsContinuum, ever. Your archive is yours: it lives on your device, you own it, you control it, and only you can see it. What you read is your business.

DESIGNED FOR YOU

▸ No account, no sign-up - open the app and start reading
▸ Personalize your sources - enable, disable, or add your own
▸ Bookmark articles and videos to revisit anytime
▸ Optional breaking-story alerts - one or two a day, only when it matters
▸ Switch between card view and compact list view
▸ Full dark mode - easy on the eyes for late-night reading
▸ Instant search across your entire local archive
▸ Lightweight and fast - no bloat, no unnecessary permissions

Whether you're a curious mind, a student of science, a researcher, or a lifelong learner, Science News keeps you connected to discovery without the noise, the algorithms, or the clutter.

Download now and never miss a breakthrough.
