What is Newsdeck?
Newsdeck shows news from hundreds of newspapers and websites, all at once.
The news is put in columns. Each column is about one thing, like World, Sport or your city.
New stories appear by themselves. You don't need to do anything.
Reading the news
Scroll down inside a column to see more stories in it.
Scroll sideways to see more columns. On a phone, swipe left and right.
Tap a headline to read the full story on the newspaper's website.
If you see "+2 more from..." under a story, other newspapers wrote about the same thing. Tap it to see them.
A blue "new stories" button means fresh news arrived. Tap it to jump to the top.
On a phone, pull a column down from the top and let go to check for new stories.
Breaking now
This column shows stories that many news websites are writing about. The newest ones are at the top.
The red number, like "13 outlets", means 13 different news websites are writing about that story. "3 in the last hour" means it is still spreading.
Want the biggest stories on top instead? Open the column's sliders button and change Order to Biggest first.
"First reported by" tells you which website wrote about it first.
The little buttons under each story
♡ Heart: saves the story so you can read it later. Saved stories go in a Saved column.
✦ Sparkle: asks your own AI helper (like ChatGPT or Claude) to explain the story. Newsdeck copies a question for you to paste in.
🔗 Link: copies the story's web address so you can send it to someone.
⊘ Circle with a line: hides every story from that website. You can undo this in Settings.
Adding or removing columns
Tap + Add column in the left bar (on a phone, the + at the bottom).
You will see cards. A tick means that column is already in your deck.
Tap a card to tick it (add) or untick it (remove). Then press the button at the bottom.
You can also pick a city for its local news.

Hide stories that mention: type words you never want to see.
Moving columns
On a computer, grab a column by its name at the top and drag it left or right.
You can also drag the names in the left bar up or down.
Click a name in the left bar to jump straight to that column.
On a phone, open the column's sliders button and use the arrows at the bottom.

A deck is a whole set of columns. You can have more than one, like one for work and one for fun.

Using Newsdeck on a phone
Open Newsdeck in your phone's web browser.
Tap Share (iPhone) or the menu (Android), then Add to Home Screen.

When a story or column won't load
Sometimes a news website is busy or doesn't let Newsdeck in. That's not your fault.
Newsdeck keeps trying by itself. You still see the stories it already has.
To see which newspapers are working, tap the column's sliders button.
