Factual is your personal news app – you follow the sources you trust, and no algorithm decides what matters to you. What's different: every article comes with a short summary and a fact-check of its key claims against independent sources. You can see how different outlets cover the same story, and translate headlines and full articles from 20+ languages – so you read the world's news in your own. No outrage cycle, no noise – just context, at your own pace.

Hi everyone, I'm Nikita, and Factual is my first iOS app.
I built it because I was tired of how I read the news. My feeds were either an endless algorithmic scroll built for outrage, or a dozen open tabs I never finished. I wanted something calmer: a place where I pick the sources, and the app helps me actually understand what's going on – instead of deciding for me what matters.
So Factual does a few things I always wished a news app would:
• a short summary of every article, so I can tell what's worth a full read
• a fact-check of the key claims against independent sources
• translation of headlines and full articles from 20+ languages, so language isn't a wall
I come from a product design background, so I cared a lot about the details and the calm feel of it. On the engineering side this is my first real app, so I'm sure there's a lot to improve, and that's exactly why I'm here. I'd genuinely love your feedback: what works, what doesn't, and what you'd want from something like this.
Happy to answer anything in the comments, thanks for taking a look.
