What it is. A native macOS app (Swift, macOS 14+) that scrolls headlines quietly while you work. Click a headline to read it, or open the full-screen board when you step back from the desk. It can also open on its own when the Mac goes idle, so it doubles as a news screensaver.

Where the news comes from. The Signal 500 is our catalogue of 495 news sites and blogs, each scored on editorial quality, ad restraint, reach, signal-to-noise, cadence, design and independence. The method and weights are published at https://feeds.bar/signal-500/method and the snapshot is open data (CC BY 4.0, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22311918). Add your own RSS feeds alongside it.

Extras. Curated topic sets (Tech & AI, Markets, Science, Culture, Sport, Mac and more), a second ticker for market quotes with bring-your-own Finnhub key, and a music lane that re-tunes the ticker to the artist playing on your Mac or in the room.

Business model. One-time purchase with free updates. No subscription, no account, no ads, no tracking. Built by an independent developer in Dublin, Ireland.
