Newsboom is a Chrome extension that rewrites emotionally loaded news into calmer, more neutral language without reducing it to a summary. Processing happens locally with Gemini Nano, so there’s no account, no paywall, and no need to send the article to a server. You can compare the original with the rewrite, then create an optional shareable NewsBoom Brief highlighting framing, loaded language, and key claims.

Hi Product Hunt — I built Newsboom because too much news is written to provoke a reaction before it informs you. Newsboom is a Chrome extension that rewrites emotionally loaded articles into calmer, more neutral language while preserving the original meaning and detail. It is not a summariser. You still get the full story, just without as much outrage bait, fear, hype or partisan framing. The rewrite runs locally in Chrome using Gemini Nano, so there is no account, subscription or article-upload pipeline. You can compare the original and rewritten versions, then optionally create a shareable NewsBoom Brief that highlights framing, loaded language and key claims. I’d especially like feedback on whether the rewrites feel genuinely more neutral without becoming bland, robotic or accidentally changing the author’s meaning.

Love that it keeps the full article intact instead of just summarizing it. Running on-device with Gemini Nano is a smart move too, feels way less sketchy than sending everything to a server.

@elliot_hawthorne Yeah, I made the shareable Newsboom Brief as private as possible too. The share embeds the formatting and content in the URL so you aren't republishing, just adding formatting and context to an article, privately. You get the point across without the propaganda and you aren't giving piles of personal data away to do it. I'd really appreciate anyone who likes Newsboom to share the stories they unbias through the brief tool.
