Intelligent news,
distilled.
Bytes pulls headlines straight from a hand-picked set of trusted publishers and presents them as focused, 9-second reads. No infinite scroll. No clickbait. Just the signal.
How it works
Three steps, no noise. Here's how your feed gets built.
You choose topics
Pick the categories that matter — from AI & Tech to Business to Science. Update anytime.
We pull from publishers
Every 10 minutes our cron job fetches the latest stories from BBC, NPR, The Verge, Ars Technica, TechCrunch, Hacker News, ESPN, CoinDesk, Variety, and more.
You scroll the signal
Headlines, summaries, and source links — delivered as a 9-second scrollable feed. Tap any story to open the original.
What we stand for
Always link to the source
Every article summary links directly to the original reporting. We surface journalism — we don't replace it.
Publisher-first, never AI-fabricated
Every headline and summary comes straight from the publisher’s own RSS feed. No language model rewrites, no hallucinated quotes, no synthesised summaries.
Respect for your attention
No infinite scroll, no algorithmic rage-bait, no push notifications. You open Bytes, you get signal, you leave.
Privacy by default
We store only what you explicitly set: your topics and reading preferences. No tracking pixels, no third-party ads.
Built with modern tools
A minimal, performant stack optimized for speed and reliability.
