About ovr.news

ovr.news is an independent project based in The Netherlands, published by Veen Systems — who owns this has the full picture.

What ovr.news shows

You don't control your brain — but you do control what you expose it to. ovr.news is a lens machine for seeing what works in the world. Five constructive lenses read the vital signs of a living world: people thriving, communities holding, ecosystems healing, approaches that work, the past coming into focus.

Each story is sourced, dated, and linked back to its publisher. The lens tells you what kind of evidence you're looking at. You see the world differently because you have a different instrument for looking.

We don't want to be where you stop. Our summary is a way in, not the story itself — every article links to the publication that reported it, and we'd rather you went and read them. Check what we left out. Disagree with us. A lens is worth having because you can look through it and then look past it, not because it saves you the trouble.

How we're built

ovr.news runs on open-source software and local AI. Our pipeline tracks over a thousand news sources, and stories from 175 or more of them reach the site on a typical day. Articles are scored by small models that were trained on labels from a larger cloud model, and summarized by an open-source language model. Both run on local hardware. No cookies and no ads today. We count page views and clicks without identifying anyone.

We are transparent about our methods. See how we work and our accountability page for the details.
