Scroll. No fluff. Just RSS.

The promise.

We don't monetize attention. We ship a tool and get out of your way.

No payments.

You shouldn't rent your own reading habits. One download, yours forever.

No ads.

No banners, no trackers, no "sponsored" anything. Just feeds.

Self-hosted database.

Your content lives with you. Run it on your server, your rules.

Independent.

No SaaS hoster lock-in. No surprise shutdowns. You own the switch.

Read straight. No algorithm noise.

Two focused workflows: dashboard for scanning and digest for clean briefings.

Dashboard

Scan fast. Filter faster.

  • Chronological feeds. The latest is actually the latest.
  • Define your own topics and auto-classify matching articles.
  • Filter dashboard articles by topic to focus faster.
  • Select any word to instantly search for related content.
  • Lightning filtering with tags, lists, and smart buckets.

Digest

Briefings on your cadence.

  • Run digest briefings daily, weekly, or monthly.
  • Add digest articles directly to your reading lists.
  • Tune digest runs with blocked words and excluded sources.
  • Read articles inside the in-app browser without breaking flow.
  • Offline-friendly reading lists.
