News scored against
your point of view.

You open a new tab and get headlines picked for clicks, not for you. POV News reads the sources you trust, scores every story against what you actually care about, and tells you why each one made the cut. Bring your own Cursor API key. Nothing runs on our servers, because we don't have any.

Scored to your POV

You set the pillars you care about. Every story is ranked against those, not against whatever gets the most clicks.

No backend, your keys

Research runs on Cursor Cloud Agents with your own API key. There are no servers to send your data to, because we don't run any.

Anatomy of a score

Every item gets a score out of 15

POV News rates each story across five dimensions, then adds them up. You see exactly why something surfaced, and it gets sharper every time you give feedback.

/ 3
Pillar fit
How squarely the story lands on one of your chosen pillars.
/ 3
Audience
Whether it's written for someone in your role, not a general reader.
/ 3
Personal take
Does it offer an angle you can act on, not just a neutral recap.
/ 3
Recency
How fresh it is. Newer beats evergreen for a daily digest.
/ 3
Conversation
Whether people you respect are actually discussing it.
= / 15
Overall score
The five dimensions summed. Set a threshold and only the signal gets through.

Tell us who you are

A few sentences is plenty. The agent turns this into your pillars and sources next.

I run growth at a DTC skincare brand doing ~$8M a year. I care about paid-acquisition efficiency, retention, and supply-chain costs, and I don't want generic startup news.

Why POV News

A digest for you, not a feed for advertisers

Your default new tab and the big news apps optimize for time-on-page. POV News optimizes for one thing: surfacing what's worth your attention, then getting out of the way.

Your default new tab
  • Ranked by engagement, not relevance to you.
  • Ads and clickbait woven into the stream.
  • Your attention is the product, sold to advertisers.
  • One-size-fits-all trending topics.
  • An infinite scroll designed to keep you there.
  • A black box. No way to see why you saw it.
POV News
  • Scored against your own pillars and point of view.
  • No ads, ever. Just your digest.
  • No backend. Your data never leaves your device.
  • You pick the pillars and the sources.
  • A finite daily digest, not an endless feed.
  • Open source (MIT). Audit exactly how it scores.
The interface

Familiar reader, smarter feed

A calm three-pane layout: sources, items, reader. The same muscle memory, a very different data model underneath.
