InSnip

Pure signal, no noise.

About InSnip

InSnip is a free news app built in Australia on one idea: the day's news should be fast to read, honest about where it comes from, and free of noise. Here is what we do and how we do it.

What InSnip is

InSnip turns the day's news into short, source-backed cards. Each card gives you the story in plain English, names the publication it came from, and adds a one line why it matters, so you understand the significance and not just the headline. The name is short for Insights in Snippets.

Stories are organised into a short, finishable reading experience. It is free, works in your browser straight away with no account, and there is a free app for iPhone and Android.

How InSnip works

Source-backed, always

Every card names and links to its primary source, so you can see where the story comes from and follow it back to the original reporting. Supporting sources are shown where available.

A why-it-matters line

Each story ends with one plain line on why it matters. You leave understanding the significance of the news, not just the event.

Under a minute a card

Cards are written to be read quickly and arranged as a finishable round. News that fits a coffee break, not an endless feed.

Australia first

InSnip leads with the stories that matter in Australia, then the world news worth knowing. Built here, for here.

No noise

No autoplay video, no rage-bait, no endless feed. You read the day, you reach the end, you are done. Pure signal, no noise.

How we handle accuracy

InSnip uses original synthesis and preserves a visible source trail so readers can check the underlying reporting. A concise card cannot replace full reporting, especially on a fast or complex story. Read the named source for the complete context.

InSnip does not claim to be unbiased. It aims to make its sources and the limits of a short summary visible, so readers can form their own view.
