The Nexus is news intelligence that shows its work. Most apps hand you a headline and ask you to trust it. The Nexus traces every claim to its source, surfaces where outlets contradict each other instead of smoothing it over, and synthesizes a broad network of news outlets and public-data feeds into something you can actually act on. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ WHAT YOU GET • Daily Briefing — the day's most-corroborated stories, synthesized with every claim cited to its original source. • Storylines — see how a story develops across outlets over time, with the number of independent sources reporting it. • Contradiction tracking — when sources disagree, we show you the disagreement rather than picking a side. • Claim Check — paste a claim or a link and see how it holds up against the source record. • China Watch — focused coverage of an area most outlets undercover, organized by theme. • Watchlists — track the people, organizations, topics, or regions you care about and get notified when something new matches. ALERTS THAT RESPECT YOUR ATTENTION • Daily Briefing notification when the day's briefing is ready. • Breaking alerts — rare, high-bar, and capped so they stay meaningful. • Watchlist alerts when your tracked subjects are in the news. OUR PRINCIPLES • Cited, not asserted — claims link to their sources. • No verdicts — we show the record and let you judge. • Contradictions shown, not hidden. The Nexus is free to use. Optional Pro and Pro+ subscriptions unlock deeper tools, wider access, and personal alerts. Read the record. Reach your own conclusions.
