More of what's inside

A first-run tour, story timelines, and the questions every article should have answered.

Every score is grounded in a real framework

The app's analysis runs on the Clear-Sight Analytical Framework (CSAF): three observable categories and ten language signals for what any article is doing. It's the same vocabulary educators, librarians, and researchers use.

Questions about the app

What does the app actually do?

Clear-Sight is a news reader that shows you how each story is built. You read the day's news in a clean feed, then analyze any article, including ones behind paywalls you're signed in to, to get a 1-to-10 objectivity score and a plain-language breakdown across ten language signals: what the article does, what it leaves out, and why it matters.

Every story you follow becomes a timeline you can track over time, and you can ask Clear-Sight to research any question about it and get an answer backed by real, checkable sources. It's built for the news, but the same lens works on any article where the words are working hard.

Does it work behind paywalls?

Yes. The Share Extension reads the exact page you're viewing in Safari, so it can analyze articles you're already signed in to, no copy-paste required.

Is it free?

Reading the news feed is free. Analyzing an article and asking Clear-Sight a research question each use credits. Every new account starts with a free trial, and after that a subscription includes a monthly allotment of credits.

How is this different from other bias checkers?

Most bias tools rate the outlet and ask you to trust their rating. Clear-Sight does the opposite: it shows the observable language patterns in the specific article in front of you, with the evidence highlighted, so you can check the reasoning yourself instead of taking a label on faith.

Who decides the score, and is it politically slanted?

The score measures how an article is constructed, its sourcing, evidence, framing, and use of persuasion, not its political position. The same ten signals apply to every outlet on every side, and you can see exactly which patterns drove the score. The full method is public in the framework.
