LocalBrief

Local news,
without the language barrier.

Download on the App Store

LocalBrief identifies what is currently affecting daily life in your location — utility disruptions, transport alerts, official notices, local events — and delivers it as a structured operational brief in your language, every morning. Not news summaries. Situations: what has changed, whether it is new or ongoing, and what it means for your specific use case. The app always searches in the native language of the location — Portuguese sources, French sources, Japanese sources — and delivers in whatever language you've set. The two are fully independent.

Users define their local context through home area, municipality, region, and country. LocalBrief organises issues into a clear three-tier briefing — Critical, Important, Contextual — with tagged categories and source counts. Four modes adapt the filtering logic to match the user's relationship with a location: Resident, Tourist, Business Trip, and Somewhere Else — a property, a family home, or a city you care about. What the locals know — in your language, without needing to read theirs.

Local language in — Your language out.

Sources are always retrieved in the language native to the location. The briefing is always delivered in your preferred language — fully decoupled, no manual translation needed.

Ongoing Issues

Ongoing issues are tracked across days in the History tab — not repeated daily. You see what changed, not the same item again.

Morning briefing

The brief is prepared daily and waiting for you before your day starts.

Sources cited where available

Items cite the original-language source where available. Read further. Verify anything. LocalBrief doesn’t ask you to take its word for it.
