Has No Server — No Account, No Login
MagPunk has no central server; your data is not stored or processed on a remote computer.
The moment you download the app, everything starts working. You do not need to provide an email address, set a password, or open an account. All your settings, reading history, and favorites are kept securely directly in your phone’s storage. This architecture structurally prevents your personal data from being transferred to another company’s servers.
Example: Putting your phone in airplane mode and opening the app to see your saved data load completely.

Most modern news apps are cloud-based (they use a backend); meaning your usage metrics like which news you clicked on and how long you read it are transmitted instantly to a remote server. MagPunk rejects this structure entirely. Thanks to its backend-free architecture, there is no database around to be hacked or sold to advertisers. You are directly the sole owner and keeper of your data.
