About the News App
Dispatch is a news app design template that rebuilds the authority of a quality newspaper for mobile. It commits to a Modern Broadsheet look: warm off-white paper backgrounds, near-black ink text, a single classic news red reserved for the masthead, section labels, and the breaking badge, with thin hairline rules between stories instead of boxy cards. A strong editorial serif carries headlines and the masthead while a clean sans handles body copy, bylines, and UI, giving every screen a clear lead-versus-secondary hierarchy.
The template ships six connected screens that form a complete reading flow: a Top Stories home with a breaking lead, a Sections browser with swipeable tabs, a personalized For You feed with topic chips, a Search screen with trending topics and recent queries, a Saved reading list, and a full article view with a hero photo, byline, drop cap, and justified body text. Editorial reportage photography runs throughout, so the layout reads like a finished publication rather than a wireframe.
Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the sections or feeds your product needs. Then export to code, copy into Figma with no plugin, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it for real, far faster than starting from a blank canvas.
