What is Wisp?
Wisp is a calm news app that clusters related articles from multiple sources into single events, rewrites them in neutral language, and shows them chronologically by topic. No algorithm, no clickbait, no outrage bait — just the news you chose to follow.
-
How does Wisp help with doomscrolling?
Wisp removes the two main levers that make news feeds addictive: the algorithm and the outrage. There's no system deciding what to show you next to maximize engagement, and no emotionally charged language designed to keep you reading. You follow topics you care about, get neutral summaries, and stop.

How is Wisp different from a regular news app?
Most news apps maximize for time-on-screen. They surface the most emotional story and keep replaying it. Wisp doesn't. You choose your topics, we cluster all coverage of each story into one neutral summary sorted by time. You read what matters, then you're done.
-
Does Wisp use an algorithm?
No. Wisp shows your topics chronologically. There's no engagement-optimizing algorithm deciding what you see next. The feed is entirely yours to control.
