About

Lumo Post

Read full description

Everything you read, in one app. News, long reads, independent writers, podcasts, and any website you like to keep close — gathered on your own device and sorted into one edition each day. No account. No tracking. No ads. One purchase or subscription covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. TODAY Every day, one edition instead of an endless feed. The stories that matter from everything you follow, grouped by theme. When five outlets cover the same event, they become one story — you read it once. NEWS Follow publications, agencies and channels from anywhere in the world. A built-in catalogue of hundreds of sources in dozens of countries, or paste any address you already have. Everything lands in one place, sorted into eight folders: politics, business, conflicts, technology and science, sport, society and culture, incidents, and the rest. MAGAZINES For when you want something longer than a headline. Science, ideas, history, investigations — grouped by subject, in their own section. AUTHORS People, not newsrooms. Independent writers publishing on their own, from established names to those just finding their readers. Choose from the built-in list, or add anyone by address. Follow the person, not the masthead. PODCASTS Search any show or browse the charts. Playback continues in the background, and where you stopped follows you from phone to tablet to desktop. WEBSITES Some sites have no feed at all — and you still want them nearby. Save any address and it opens here in full, the way a browser shows it. SORTED BY AN AI THAT NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICE A model running on your iPhone, iPad or Mac reads each story and files it. Nothing is sent to a server to be classified, and nothing about you reaches anyone. CLEAN READING Articles open without ads, banners or pop-ups. Reading mode strips the page to the text. Translation and read-aloud are built in, using Apple's own on-device frameworks. Save to Favourites, share, or open the original page in one tap — the publisher is always credited. YOURS ALONE No sign-up. No tracking, no analytics, no advertising. We run no servers for your content and collect nothing about you. Your subscriptions, favourites and reading progress sync through your own iCloud, readable only by your devices. ONE PURCHASE, THREE PLATFORMS Seven days free. After that, choose monthly, yearly, or a one-time purchase forever — any of them covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Fully in English. Also available in German, French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese. Built with Gemma.
