What You Get in the Aplomb App
Today's main stories, ranked
The app opens on Today: the day's main stories, ranked by how many newsrooms are covering them right now, one video each, with a short AI summary drawn from those newsrooms' articles. Then keep swiping in Latest, where Aplomb alternates newsrooms so no single outlet fills your feed.
The source of every story
Headline, outlet and its type under every video, and a Visit button that opens the outlet's website.
Your countries, your sources
Your country gets its own tab with its national newsrooms, on by default. Turn off the countries you don't want, and hide any outlet in Settings.
