Inkline is a media monitoring app for iPhone and iPad, built for journalists, communications professionals and anyone who reads for a living. It tracks the topics, publications and people you choose across a registry of 817 hand-picked, feed-verified sources spanning 55 markets and 34 languages, compares how titles cover the same story, writes a private morning brief on your device, and reads it to you as a spoken briefing. No dashboards, no accounts, and nothing you read leaves your phone. Inkline is free to download and free to use; Inkline Pro adds monitoring, spoken briefings, analysis and unlimited publications, from £2.99 a month in the UK with a week free.
The difference is the directory. Feed readers assume you already know where the good feeds are; Inkline ships the answer, checked by a person, dated, and kept current when publishers quietly move or retire their feeds. Everything else in the app is built to make professional monitoring faster: briefs before your commute, comparison across publications, notes in the margin.
Free to use; Inkline Pro from £2.99 a month or £14.99 a year in the UK, week free on Pro plans

Private by architecture, not by policy
Inkline has no accounts and no server. Feeds are fetched by your phone, briefs are written by Apple Intelligence on your phone, and your reading history exists in exactly one place, which is your phone. A privacy policy this short is only possible because there is so little to police. Read it anyway.
