Make the News More Boring

Boring Report strips out sensationalism to deliver straightforward summaries.

Boring Report uses AI to rewrite news stories from respected sources to deliver just the facts.

What we love: Each summary draws from a range of outlets, combining different details from each publisher into one spartan read. To see the full article, tap the publisher’s name under Sources.

Quick tip: Come across an article that isn’t boring enough? Tap the share icon in your browser, select More, and tap Boring—then watch the app drain all the drama out. Find your newly toned-down articles under Articles Made Boring in the Profile section of the app.

Meet the creator: Founders Vasishta Kalinadhabhotla and Akshith Ramadugu are childhood friends and journalism outsiders. “We wanted to make news accessible without the noise, and the app’s name is deliberately on the nose. It took us about two weeks to get our initial vision out the door,” Kalinadhabhotla says.
