PocketNews

PocketNews addresses a problem familiar to anyone who follows the news seriously: there is more of it than anyone can read, and the cost of keeping up is constant. The product applies AI summarisation to that problem, taking reporting from across the news landscape and condensing it into short digests that reflect the specific topics a user has chosen to follow.

Personalisation is the core mechanic. Rather than presenting one editor's idea of what matters, PocketNews asks what you are interested in and shapes your feed around it. The result is closer to a personal briefing than a newspaper: a handful of tight summaries you can read in a few minutes, with the option to go deeper on the stories that matter to you.

It is positioned as a productivity tool as much as a news product, which is reflected in the framing of time saved and information managed rather than merely consumed. Access is freemium, with a free tier and paid upgrades. The service is operated from France, and its site was not reachable during our review, so the most current feature set and pricing should be confirmed directly with the provider before subscribing.
