think vs Biblio Times

think renders news the way e-ink renders a page: soft greys, a serif headline, dithered photographs, nothing that blinks, auto-plays, or refreshes itself while you're looking at it. ONE STORY AT A TIME No infinite scroll, no feed to doomscroll through. Each story fills the screen — headline, photo, publisher, and a read-time estimate. Swipe up for the next one, swipe right (or tap) to open the full article in-app. When you've seen everything your topics have to offer, the feed says so and stops, instead of padding itself out with filler. PICK YOUR PUBLISHERS, SKIP THE ALGORITHM There's no engagement-driven ranking deciding what you see. Choose your topics, and think shows you a curated catalog of publishers behind them — 208 publishers across 32 topics at last count. Vote a story up or down to tune the mix, or mute a publisher outright. Want a source that isn't in the catalog? Paste any site's RSS or Atom feed URL and think adds it to your list. SAVE FOR LATER Bookmark anything you don't have time for now. Saved stories are grouped by topic and stay in your list until you clear them. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING There's no sign-in and no user id. think has no analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting SDK, and no server of its own — it only talks to your chosen publishers' RSS feeds and their image hosts. Your topics, your publishers, your votes, and your saved stories live on your device only, and are deleted when you delete the app. Available in English and Vietnamese. Requires iOS 15 or later.

Biblio Times sets the feeds you choose as a morning newspaper. Each morning your device collects the public feeds of the publications you pick and lays them out as a paper: a front page, sections, columns, headlines in a proper serif, and photographs screened as halftones. On iPhone the paper arrives folded in half; pull it open to read below the fold. On iPad and Mac it opens as a spread. YOUR SOURCES Tick from starter feeds for your country and for Ideas, Dispatches and Design, or add any site or feed address of your own. Nothing is ticked for you. Change the mix at any time; the next edition prints it. TWO EDITIONS The Biblio edition is set in Fraunces and Timeless on paper stock. The Digital edition is a tight grotesk. Choose the paper, the picture style, and the size of the type. READ IT AS A PAPER Tap a headline to read the story where it was published, or print it on the page in the paper's own type. Clip stories to keep. Back issues stay on the rack for a fortnight. Send a story to Biblio or to your e-reader as a book. Ask for a morning call when the paper is ready. YOUR DEVICE IS THE PRESS The paper is made on your device from the publishers' own feeds. Nothing is routed through Biblio's servers, there is no account, and Biblio keeps no copy of what you read. The stories remain their publishers'; the paper is for your own reading. THE PRESS PASS Your first three papers are on the house. After them the press runs for holders of the Press Pass, bought once from Apple for every device signed in with your Apple Account. A Press Founder holds the pass for their family too, and has their name printed on their paper. Biblio Times is a craft by agenti.nz, from the same press as Biblio, the 3D bookshelf, and Atelier.
