Kagi News — also known as Kite — is a privacy-first news app that delivers a curated daily digest of the world’s most important stories. Updated once per day at 12PM UTC, it surfaces events from hundreds of community-curated RSS feeds, summarizes them with advanced language models, and presents them without ads, tracking, or endless scrolling. The entire front-end is open source. You can run your own instance, build a custom front-end on the public data API, or contribute feeds and filters back to the community.Documentation Index

Kagi News is built on the belief that most news is noise. The app enforces a few hard rules to keep your information diet healthy:Once Daily
Published at 12PM UTC — no push notifications, no refresh-to-load-more, no infinite scroll.
Facts, Not Opinion
Stories present facts and multiple perspectives. Opinion content is excluded from feeds.
Zero Tracking
No ads, no analytics SDKs, no third-party trackers of any kind.
Multi-Source
Every story is clustered from dozens of sources to surface the full picture, not one viewpoint.
