Syft
Syft is a news app that lets you build custom channels around any topic you can describe. Instead of scrolling preset categories, you type what you want to follow and Syft assembles a feed from global sources, then summarizes the stories in your language.
The product centers on Daily Digests, Top Stories, and short briefings designed to cut noise. Syft also compares itself to generic news feeds by emphasizing intention-based topic setup, multilingual summaries, and dynamic sourcing rather than a fixed publisher list.
It suits readers who track niche subjects, follow international news, or want one place for updates on stocks, sports, tech, or culture. Native iOS and Android apps are available, and paid tiers add podcast listening, Ask Syft Q&A, and higher topic limits.
