TileNews

All your feeds on one wall.

TileNews replaces the endless single-column feed with a dense, pure-black wall of hairline-bordered tiles. Scale from a 2×2 grid up to 8×8 on wide and foldable screens, dim sponsored noise automatically, and let on-device Apple Intelligence consolidate duplicate coverage across feeds into one unified TL;DR with inline [Source] citations.

✦ SMART VIEW

Multi-Feed Duplicate Consolidation

When seven feeds cover the same announcement, Smart View clusters them into a single tile with an article count badge and ranks stories by relevance across all your sources.

INLINE [SOURCE] CITATIONS

One Unified TL;DR Per Story

Frequently Asked Questions

Full Support & FAQ →
How does Smart View consolidate duplicate articles?

When multiple RSS feeds publish stories about the same event, Smart View groups them into a single tile, displays how many feeds covered it (e.g. '✦ 4 articles'), and generates one unified, deduplicated TL;DR with inline [Source] citations so you never read the same facts twice.

Does TileNews run on-device without an account or API key?

Yes. TileNews requires zero accounts and uses on-device Apple Intelligence (FoundationModels) and NaturalLanguage by default. Power users can also enter their own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini API key in AI Settings, stored in the encrypted iOS Keychain (llc.contextlimit.tilenews).

How do I adjust the grid from 2×2 up to 8×8 on iPhone Duo or iPad?

Tap the density pill in the top bar (2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 6×, 7×, or 8×) or open AI Settings to set your preferred column count. On wide screens like iPhone Duo, tapping a tile pushes the grid left and opens the split-pane reader beside it.

How do I restore my Lifetime Unlock or Pro subscription?

Open TileNews → tap the AI Settings icon in the top bar → open the Upgrade sheet and tap 'Restore Purchases'. StoreKit 2 automatically verifies and restores your entitlements.
