Looking for a Google News alternative?
Google News is convenient, but it decides what you see: an algorithm ranks stories from your history, resurfaces topics you clicked once, and mixes in outlets you never chose. If you want the convenience without the ranking, that’s exactly what Outception is for.
How Outception is different
Around 8,000 followable sources across ~200 countries — national papers, local outlets, niche sites, YouTube channels, deal communities, and more.
No account needed: the wall works the moment it loads, and your deck is saved on your device.
No algorithm: you choose sources, and headlines appear in the order they happen.
Headlines are shown verbatim — no AI rewriting or summaries — and every tap opens the story on the publisher’s own site.
Free, supported by a single small banner ad. Reading history is never tracked or sold.
What Google News still does better
Full-text search across all news, story clustering across hundreds of outlets, and deep personalization — if you like an algorithm working for you, Google News does that well. Outception is deliberately the opposite: a fixed wall of the sources you chose.
Switching takes a minute
Open the wall, and your country’s edition is already there — national news, your nearest city, local deals, property, events, business, and health, seeded from your country alone (no location permission). Then follow anything: the wall holds your picks exactly as you left them.
