Nispaksha

Nispaksha is a Nepali news reader built around three ideas: read the mainstream first, listen to what matters in a few minutes, and — when a story is contested — see how every publisher covered it.

Who builds this

A small, independent team based in Kathmandu. We are not owned by, funded by, or affiliated with any newsroom or political party. Editorial choices the product makes — which articles to surface, which clusters to feature, which categories an article belongs to — are auditable from the admin console, and corrections ship in the next update cycle.

What we aggregate

We poll the 19 reporting Nepali publishers every two hours and surface freely-published article metadata — headlines, summaries, publisher, time, and a representative image — alongside an outbound link to the original article on the publisher’s site. We do not republish the full article body. Tap-throughs always go to the original publisher, so their reporters get the click.

How the daily brief is made

Each morning at 6:30 NPT, a language model reads the top stories of the previous 24 hours (ranked by how many publishers covered each one), drafts a Nepali script, and synthesises it as audio. Every brief carries its full transcript and a list of the source articles it drew from. The brief publishes automatically; we don’t pre-edit it. If you spot a factual error, tell us and we’ll push a correction in the next publish.

What’s free, what isn’t

Reading and listening are free, with no signup. We are not running a paywall and we are not running Google Ads. Sponsorship, when it ships, will be Nepali brands — sold and vetted by us. See our manifesto for the rest.

Privacy

We don’t sell behavioural data and we don’t have behavioural data to sell. See the Privacy Policy for what we keep, why, and for how long. You can delete your account at any time from inside the app or at /delete.
