The headlines, in order, with nothing in between
Over thirty sources across eleven regions, refreshed every half hour, newest first. No ranking, no recommendations, no sponsored slots. You see what came out, when it came out.
Free with every Arc account.
Newest first. Always. No ranking, no promotion, no sponsored slots.
News without the machinery
Every other news product is optimising something. Arc News is not optimising anything, which turns out to be the feature.
Chronological, always
Newest at the top within whichever region you are reading. There is no ranking model deciding what deserves your attention.
Eleven regions
Global, UK, South Asia, Middle East, Africa, Australia, Americas, Europe, Asia, Sport and Technology. Pick one, or move between them.
Refreshed every half hour
Automatic, around the clock. You are never reading yesterday because nobody remembered to pull the feed.
No sponsored placements
Nothing in the list is there because someone paid. Arc runs no third-party advertising networks anywhere.
No profile built from what you read
Arc sells no member data. What you read is not assembled into a picture of you and sold on.
Free with every account
There is no news subscription and no upgrade. It is part of Arc.
Global means global here
Most news products treat the West as the default and everywhere else as international. Arc splits the world into eleven regions and gives each one equal standing, because Arc's members are not concentrated in one of them.
Arc is global by design. South Asia and Africa are first-class regions here, not an afterthought buried under an international tab.
Nothing is deciding what you should care about
The reason news feeds feel exhausting is that they are engineered to. Arc News has no engagement objective, no personalisation layer and no promoted slots, so reading it is closer to a wire than a feed.
Just the headlines, newest at the top.
