Boilerplate
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 checked directory of 5,175 publications spanning 105 markets and 72 languages, turns a watched word into numbers and a coverage report, compares how titles cover the same story, writes a private morning brief on your device, and reads it to you as a spoken briefing. The directory also records where every title stands on generative AI. No dashboards, no accounts, and nothing you read leaves your phone. Inkline is free to download and free to use; Inkline Pro adds monitoring, reports, spoken briefings, analysis and unlimited publications, from £2.99 a month in the UK with a week free.
