Bulletin

Choose your news, and how you read it.

Elevator Pitch

Bulletin is a news reader powered by RSS, for people who follow more than they have time to read. You choose the sources, and you choose when a summary helps.

Key Features

  • Your sources

    Add any RSS feed, organise into categories, import OPML. Nothing is picked for you.

  • For You

    Your favourite sources in one personalised feed, woven so a busy source never crowds out the rest.

  • Muted Phrases

    Add a phrase and any headline containing it leaves your feeds.

  • Smart Summary

    Summarise an article, or catch up on a whole feed or category at once. Every summary is built from the full article.

  • Quotes

    Pull the key quotes word for word, in order, with who said each one.

  • Clearer Headlines

    Swipe or long-press a vague or clickbait headline to see what the story is actually about. Only when you ask.

  • Read Later, synced

    Saved articles sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud.

  • On-device translation

    Translate headlines, articles and summaries without leaving the app.

  • Siri and Shortcuts

    Ask Siri to open a feed or category, or to summarise an article. Articles appear in Spotlight and Shortcuts, and a Control Center control opens any category.

History

Bulletin launched in February 2024, one month after Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger announced the shutdown of Artifact, the algorithmic reader that briefly defined what an AI news app could feel like. Where Artifact leaned on a recommendation engine to decide what you see, Bulletin was built on the opposite idea: you choose the sources, and the summaries only help you get through them faster. Originally an indie iOS project, Bulletin was acquired by Pixelfolio in 2025, one of five indie apps Dominic Williams has taken on and revived rather than retired. It has been in active development ever since.

Press coverage

“Users can customize news sources the app features, as you could in any other RSS reader, instead of relying on a curated selection.”

Recognition

About Pixelfolio Inc.

Pixelfolio is a one-person iOS studio run by Dominic Williams, who grew up in Wales and now lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The company builds a portfolio of well-crafted, delightful apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Some were acquired from their original developers and given a second life, others were built from scratch.

The common thread is a design philosophy built on craftsmanship. That means sweating every detail of the user experience and putting the customer ahead of everything else. A small studio can care about the things larger teams have to skip, and that care is the product.
