About Dense: Tiny News Widget
Tiny news. One small widget. Dense puts short news summaries on your Home Screen or Mac desktop, so you can catch up without an endless scroll.
Choose a topic and read a short AI-written digest of current headlines. The summaries appear in the widget itself. You get the essentials without opening the app, and new stories are highlighted when the digest changes.
A LITTLE NEWS, THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY
- Read several news summaries in one widget.
- Choose from seven topics: world news, US news, UK news, technology, US politics, US business, and US sports.
- Spot new stories through highlighted text.
- Tap the widget to browse earlier digests in Dense.
- Open available source articles from the app when you want more context.
PICK A TOPIC. ADD A WIDGET.
Put a briefing on your iPhone or iPad Home Screen, or on your Mac desktop. Add widgets for the topics you follow and choose a background that fits your screen. Dense handles the AI summaries, with no API keys to set up.
READ MORE WHEN YOU WANT TO
The app keeps a history of digests and shows available article links beneath their stories. Read a quick summary now, then follow a source when a story deserves more of your time.
Want a different view of the news? Use Story Explorer to filter by mood, from Doom to Bloom, and by impact, from minor to major. Select a point on the chart to highlight its story, or browse a topic's digest history to see how its mood changes over time.
