Free daily news digest pulling from 100+ outlets into 30-second summaries across eight topics.
SkimNews pulls stories from more than 100 publications, including wire services and major outlets, and condenses each into a short summary meant to read in about 30 seconds: what happened, why it matters, and the key takeaway. Coverage is organized into eight categories such as geopolitics, technology, finance, and health, with roughly 140 stories published daily and continuous updates through the day. It is available as a website, a daily email digest, a Telegram channel, and RSS feeds, and lets readers ask follow-up questions about a given story. The service requires no signup and is free with no paid tier, and page metadata shows it launched in February 2026.
Entirely free; no paid tier or signup required.
Use tool ↗SkimNews condenses a genuinely wide source list into short summaries without requiring an account, which is a low-friction way to scan a day's news across several categories at once. Being free with no account also means personalization does not persist between visits unless you use the email or Telegram channel. As a very recently launched service, it has not yet built a track record for summary accuracy over time.
