tildr

Tildr is the news reader for people who don't have time to read the news.

This is the full version of Tildr that lets you choose your own custom color themes and has no advertisements.

Tildr provides a virtual newspaper-box experience – viewing only the headlines of current stories without any access to the stories inside. If you’re the kind of person that is easily distracted and find yourself getting lost in a long chain of endless hyperlinks and wasted time when just “catching up on the news”, you’ll immediately get why this is useful. tildr is not a tool for finding interesting long-format reads to occupy a lazy Saturday morning, a la feedly or flipboard. It’s about quick updates on current events and removing the temptations and distractions of traditional online news reading.

Tildr is as deliberately designed to be as simple as possible. It requires no login or personal information and by default shows you only the top stories that are currently trending on popular news sites. If you’re really committed to selective ignorance, you’ll never use the options menu to choose additional topics that might interest you, like sports or business or technology. If you’re not yet hardcore-ignorant, go ahead and choose your own topics and your headlines view will be customized for you.

Tildr also has a couple other tricks you might not even notice but that are pretty cool – tildr employs a small army of news-reading robots to improve the quality of the headlines that you see. While not yet perfect, these nifty robots are working hard to do their best to remove duplicate news stories and are filtering out all the obvious spammy linkbait headlines that pollute so much of the web. If you really are looking for weird tricks and shocking videos, or amazing celebrity diets, then tildr just isn’t for you, sorry.
