Full description
Tickwire turns any screen into a calm live news ticker. The TV behind the counter, the tablet on your desk, the phone in your hand — one app, running quietly all day. No doomscrolling. No algorithm picking what you see. No notifications begging for attention. You look up when you want to, not when an app tells you to. Why people leave it running • Save time. The day's real stories at a glance, instead of ten minutes lost in a feed. • Know what is confirmed. Every story shows how many independent outlets report it. One source is a rumour. Five is a fact. • Stay current without checking. The news ticker updates itself in the background. • Keep your focus. A screen you can leave on that never interrupts you. One app, three screens Tickwire works out which device it is on and changes shape by itself. • On a TV or an old tablet: a fullscreen news ticker with markets, weather and a Swiss railway clock. Any Android TV box becomes a news screen that never sleeps. • On a tablet: the full deck — headlines, live TV and the clock side by side. • On a phone: Pulse, your personal broadcast. One story at a time, full screen, calm auto-advance. Plus a remote for the big screen. What is inside • The Wire — top stories from 25+ trusted outlets including BBC, Guardian, Reuters, Bloomberg, Al Jazeera and AP, de-duplicated so you never read the same story twice. • Markets — a live ticker for Bitcoin, Ethereum, EUR/USD, DAX, Nvidia and more, next to your local weather and forecast. • Live TV — official 24/7 news streams: Sky News, Bloomberg, DW, France 24, Al Jazeera and others, inside the app. • Clock — an ambient Swiss station clock with the day's headlines. The always-on screen, done properly. • Tickertape — a split-flap departure board for your headlines, with the mechanical clack. Also runs as a screensaver. • Remote — your phone controls the TV over Wi-Fi. Switch screens, skip stories, change channels. • Widgets — a live news ticker on your home screen and lock screen. Where people put it • Behind the counter, so the shop always has calm news on screen. • On a spare monitor next to the trading desk, with the markets ticker running. • In the kitchen or the hallway, on an old tablet nobody used any more. • In the office reception, as a news screen instead of a screensaver. • On the phone, as the thing you open instead of a social feed. Made for you, not for engagement • Describe what you follow in your own words. Matching stories move to the top. • Mute any outlet you are tired of. It disappears everywhere, instantly. • Choose your markets, your city and your language. English, German and French. • Dark editorial design, four themes, four text sizes. Works offline with the last news. Built on Sourced Tickwire counts how many independent outlets report the same event and shows you the number. It never claims something is true. It shows you the receipts and lets you judge. The method is public and open source at sourced.ink. One subscription, every screen 5 dollars a month or 50 a year at tickwire.news. One account covers your TV, your tablet and your phone. The news is on. Calm, current, always.
