This feature would allow users to customize how frequently Kagi News (kite.kagi.com) refreshes its content. Currently, the news feed updates only once daily at UTC, which creates significant delays for users in different time zones and those who need more timely information.
The feature would add configuration options in Kagi News settings to:
- Choose refresh frequency: once, twice, or three times daily
- Select preferred refresh times (e.g., 6 AM, 12 PM, 6 PM local time)
- Enable manual refresh on demand
- Set different refresh schedules for weekdays vs weekends
This would enhance the news consumption experience without disrupting existing workflows - users who prefer the current daily refresh can keep it, while others gain flexibility to match their news consumption patterns.
Implementation suggestions:
- Add a "Refresh Settings" section in Kagi News preferences
- Provide dropdown menus for frequency selection with timezone-aware scheduling
- Include a "Refresh Now" button for immediate updates
- Save user preferences per account across devices
