From Echo Harbor LLC
Our mission
Every action we take and every piece of software we create is done so under our three guiding principles.
A safe place to think
We give users a safe place to be — outside the fray where people are bought and traded like commodities.
Clarity through context
We help people perceive the essence of content — not the noise — so new connections and insights can surface.
Privacy is sacred
We don't trade your data, and we never will. Our mission is simple: to earn your trust by protecting your privacy — not profiting from it.
What we stand for
100% Private
No tracking. No surveillance. What you read here stays here.
No Ads, Ever
No banners, no sponsored placements, no engagement bait. Just the news.
No Data Selling
Your reading habits aren't a product. They never will be.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Echo Harbor News?
A newsroom intelligence platform that turns fragmented wire coverage into structured topics, AI-powered editorial context, and publishable articles.
How does the AI analysis work?
Raw articles are processed through a prompt-managed pipeline. Each step can use OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or a heuristic fallback. The AI classifies topics, generates editorial summaries, identifies human cost, and scores source confidence.
Can I manage prompts without code changes?
Yes. All pipeline prompts are stored in the database and editable from Admin > CMS. You can change prompt text, switch AI providers, and update models at any time.
What languages are supported?
English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The entire public interface, help center, and content system support all three languages.
Do I need an AI API key to use the platform?
No. The pipeline works with heuristic processing out of the box. AI providers enhance the output but are not required.
How do subscriptions work?
Plans are managed in the admin console. When Stripe keys are configured, users can subscribe through a hosted checkout flow. Plans can be created with custom pricing and feature lists.
