## What is TrueRead?

TrueRead is the news reader that doesn't know who you are.

Every article gets a quality score — clickbait detection, source counting, headline accuracy, and reading level — all processed on your device by Apple Intelligence. No cloud. No account. No tracking.

QUALITY SCORES
See at a glance whether an article is worth your time. TrueRead analyses every headline for clickbait signals, checks how well the body matches the headline, counts cited sources, and evaluates reading level. Scores from 0 to 100, colour-coded from poor to excellent.

TRULY PRIVATE
No analytics. No telemetry. No account required. No data leaves your device. TrueRead connects to the internet only to fetch RSS feeds — nothing is sent back. Your reading habits are yours alone.

25+ TRUSTED SOURCES
BBC, NYT, The Guardian, NPR, ABC News Australia, Al Jazeera, and more. Curated across 7 categories: Wire, World, Australia, Tech, Science, Business, and Investigative. Add your own RSS or Atom feeds anytime.

SMART CONTENT FILTER
Hide articles about topics you don't care about. Type "sport" and TrueRead automatically filters AFL, NRL, cricket, rugby, and 50+ related terms. Thumbs-down any article to instantly hide similar stories.

AI SUMMARIES & KEYWORDS
Tap any article for an AI-generated summary with tappable keywords. Look up people, organisations, and events on Wikipedia or Google News with one tap.

LINK SAFETY
Every article URL is checked for shorteners, suspicious domains, phishing patterns, and dodgy redirects before you click.

STATS DASHBOARD
Track clickbait articles caught, time saved, quality distribution across your feeds, and your top-scoring and worst-offending sources.

OPML IMPORT & EXPORT
Bring your feeds from any RSS reader or share your curated list with others.

HOME SCREEN WIDGET
See your top-scored article at a glance without opening the app.

SIRI SHORTCUTS
"Refresh my feeds", "Show my top article" — available via Siri and the Shortcuts app.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE
TrueRead Pro unlocks everything for a single payment. No subscriptions. No recurring fees. Ever.

ACCESSIBILITY
Full VoiceOver support. All interactive elements are labelled. Score rings announce values. Cards read as combined elements with source, title, and score.

  2. Feed order — featured article is the newest, not the highest scored
  3. Load full article — shows "not available — try opening in Safari" when enrichment fails instead of silently doing nothing
