Pure Signal, No Noise
An Inshorts alternative made for Australia
Inshorts helped make short news popular: the whole story in about sixty words. If you like reading the news that way but want it built for Australia, with a source on every card and no ads in the read, InSnip is the closest fit. It is the day's Australian news as one-minute, source-backed snippets, and it is free.
What to look for in a short-news app
Australia first, not India first
Inshorts is built around Indian news. InSnip leads every daily round with Australian stories and Australian sources, so a short read is a relevant one here.
A source on every snippet
Short news is only trustworthy if you can check it. Every InSnip snippet names and links its source, with a transparent Signal Score, so sixty seconds never means taking it on faith.
Clean to read
InSnip's read has no ad units in the way and no paywall on the day's stories. The snippet is the product, not the space around it.
A round that ends
Instead of an endless feed, InSnip gives about ten stories and stops, so you get the day and move on.
Free, no account to start
Open it and read straight away, no sign up required. An account is optional and only syncs your saves and streak across devices.
