BeetNews is a calm page for the news and events of the place you live. It started on a quiet Sunday morning, looking for what was happening in town: a farmers market, a library story time, a concert in the park, a police department event for kids. All of it was scattered across a dozen websites and buried under national headlines and clickbait.
So BeetNews gathers only local sources into one page with a clear end. No endless feed, no trending stories, no outrage, no ads, no algorithm deciding what you see, and no tracking. Think of it as a small community garden: you plant your town's own websites, and their news grows here.
BeetNews is a free, calm local news reader. Pick your town and it gathers news and upcoming events from your library, schools, town hall, police and fire departments, parks and recreation, county, community groups and places of worship onto one quiet page.
Yes, it is free, and there is no account, no sign-up and no app to download. Your page lives in your own browser.
No. There are no ads, no algorithm deciding what you see, and no tracking. Your list of local sources is stored only in your browser, and you can share it with a link.
It is built against doomscrolling. There is no endless feed, no trending stories, no clickbait and no national news: only what your own town's library, schools, government and community groups publish, with a clear end to the page.
