The news you need. Nothing you don't.
Minimalist News is an ad-free, distraction-free news platform built for readers who value their attention. No advertisements. No images. No embedded tweets. No autoplay videos. Just clean, well-organized news — updated automatically, filtered your way.
We believe great journalism deserves a reading environment that respects both the words and the person reading them. That's why every design decision at Minimalist News starts with one question: does this serve the reader?
Completely ad-free, always.
Minimalist News operates without advertisements — not "fewer ads," not "non-intrusive ads." Zero ads. We don't sell your attention, track your behavior, or accept sponsored placements. Our only loyalty is to you, the reader.
Most news websites generate revenue by turning readers into products. We reject that model. Minimalist News exists to inform, not to monetize distraction. Your reading habits stay private, your feed stays clean, and your focus stays unbroken.
A simple interface, designed with purpose.
Minimalist News strips the reading experience down to its essential form: text, structure, and clarity. There are no hero images loading above the fold, no carousel widgets, no social media embeds interrupting your flow. Stories appear as they should — as words, ranked by relevance and recency.
The interface is fast, keyboard-navigable, and works beautifully on any device. Whether you're on a phone during your commute or a desktop at your desk, the experience is consistent: quiet, clear, and focused.
Always current. Always calm.
Your news feed updates automatically, pulling the latest headlines from trusted sources the moment they're published. No manual refresh needed — Minimalist News keeps your feed current without demanding your constant attention.
Prefer a more deliberate pace? Our Daily Digest feature compiles the day's most important stories into a single, curated article — organized, summarized, and ready to read in one sitting. Start your morning informed without scrolling through a hundred headlines.
Every story, intelligently organized.
Minimalist News automatically tags every article by category, location, and people mentioned. This rich metadata means you can find exactly the kind of news you're looking for — or avoid the topics you're not.

Tag-based navigation makes browsing intuitive. Click a country to read only news from that region. Click a person's name to follow coverage of a particular figure. The structure is always there when you want it, invisible when you don't.
Your feed, your rules.
Minimalist News gives you full control over what appears in your feed through a powerful custom filter system. Don't want to read about a particular sport, political topic, or country right now? Simply exclude it. Your exclusions are saved and applied automatically to every future update.
Filters work across categories, countries, and people, giving you a granular level of control that most news platforms don't offer. The result is a feed that feels like it was curated specifically for you — because it was.
-
Exclude categories
Remove entire topic areas from your feed. Hide sports, entertainment, finance — whatever you don't need today.
-
Filter by country
Focus on the regions that matter to you. Suppress news from areas that aren't relevant to your life right now.
-
Follow or mute people
Prioritize coverage of key figures in your field, or mute individuals whose presence in headlines is overwhelming your feed.
-
Saved filter profiles
Create multiple filter profiles for different contexts — work mode, weekend reading, international focus — and switch between them instantly.
We respect your time, your focus, and your intelligence.
Minimalist News was built on a simple belief: that staying informed should not require tolerating a degraded reading experience. Modern news websites are engineered for engagement metrics, not readers. Every notification, every autoplay, every pop-up exists to keep you online longer — not to help you understand the world better.
We've built the opposite. Minimalist News is designed to help you read what matters, understand it clearly, and move on with your day. There is no infinite scroll. There are no "related articles" spirals designed to trap your attention. When you're done, you're done — informed, not exhausted.
This is what reader respect looks like in practice.
