What Panta Rhei is, where the news comes from, and what it does with your data. If something is missing, ask us on the support page.
Panta Rhei is a free news app. It reads reporting from institutional press rooms, international agencies, major newsrooms and local publishers, and when several unrelated sources cover the same event, or one authoritative source announces it, it writes a single article that summarises them and names every source it used.
A normal news app gives you the same event as ten separate articles from ten outlets. Panta Rhei merges them into one story, tells you which outlets it came from, and keeps adding to that same story as the event develops instead of publishing a new article each time.
Yes. There is no subscription and no in-app purchase. The app is supported by ads, which is what keeps it free and financially independent.
No. There is no sign-up, no email and no password. Your topics, saved articles and reading history are stored on your device, which also means they do not transfer between devices.
Local news currently covers Bosnia and Herzegovina only. World, regional and category news is not restricted by country. Support for more countries is planned.
From a wide base of published sources that our systems read continuously: the press rooms of institutions and public bodies, international news agencies, major newsrooms and local publishers. Every article lists the sources it was compiled from and links to their originals, so you can always go and read the source.
As a rule a story is only created once several unrelated sources have reported the same event, and that corroboration requirement is deliberate: events covered by a single outlet are missing by design. The exception is a source authoritative in its own right, such as an institution announcing its own decision or an agency that has already verified the facts, which can stand alone.
The same editorial standard is applied to every story, every time. There is no house line and no newsroom of the day, headlines are not written to be clicked, and explicit rules rule out sensationalist framing. That consistency is the point: a story about your town is handled exactly the way a story about anywhere else is.
Yes. Articles are written by AI from other outlets’ reporting, and AI can misstate a detail, lose nuance or repeat an error from a source. Every article is labelled and every source is linked, so check the originals for anything that matters.
No. The underlying reporting belongs to the newsrooms that produced it. We summarise it, credit every outlet by name and link to their originals. We do not republish their article text or claim it as our own.
Please do. The publishers page sets out exactly how source material is used and gives a direct contact for corrections and attribution questions. We would rather hear from you directly.
There is no account, so nothing is tied to your name. The app uses one anonymous identifier for analytics and support tickets. Preferences, saved articles, reading history and AI chats stay on your device. The full inventory is in the privacy policy.
No. Location is optional. If you enable it, your position is read once and immediately reduced to a city or municipality, and only that place’s fixed centre point is ever sent to our servers, never your actual coordinates. Background location and movement tracking are switched off in the app’s build configuration.
Ads keep Panta Rhei free and financially independent, with no subscription. Advertisers do not choose the news or the sources and have no influence on how stories are presented. You control ad personalisation, and you can change that choice at any time under Profile → Privacy & Ads.
When you ask a question about an article or request an AI overview of search results, your question and the relevant article text are processed by a third-party AI model in order to produce the answer. Your chat threads are stored on your device only, and the input is not used to identify you.
Deleting the app removes everything stored on your device. For the analytics and support records held against your anonymous identifier, follow the steps on the data deletion page. We complete requests within 30 days.
