Your feeds, read for you.

An RSS reader that writes a short briefing of everything new in your feeds, every morning and evening, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Coming Soon to the App Store For iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27
Read Later with tags and saved links. An evening briefing: a written summary, then the top articles with the feeds they came from. An article in the Night theme, with a summary above the article.

Your briefing, twice a day

Briefing reads every feed you follow and writes up what’s new. When several feeds cover the same news, it’s put together once.

  • Morning and evening, at times you choose
  • Made even when your devices are off, with a notification when it’s ready
  • Want one now? Make up to three more a day
  • Choose how long it is and how much it tells of each article, after reading an example of each style
  • Articles you skip come along to the next one
  • Written in the language you choose
The same briefing further down, with articles grouped into sections.

Every article, when you want it

Briefing is a full feed reader too. Timeline puts every article from your feeds in one list, and keeps your place.

  • Reads RSS, Atom and JSON Feed, and imports your feeds from any other reader
  • Show unseen articles, or all of them, or only the ones you read
  • Mark articles seen as you scroll past them, or swipe through them as cards
  • Choose what swiping an article left or right does
  • Choose which feeds go into briefings and which are summarized
The Feeds list with Timeline at the top and each feed’s site icon. Timeline with articles as cards, each with its image on top.

Live blogs, as they happen

While a live blog is going on, it’s under Live in Feeds. Its updates read newest first, each with its time and who wrote it, and the ones since you last looked are marked new.

  • New updates come in on their own while it’s live
  • A short summary on top is written again as the story moves
  • An article you’ve seen comes back, marked Updated, when it changes a lot
  • Your next briefing includes what changed
Live in Feeds, with the live blogs going on now. A live blog: the Live label, a short summary, then its updates down a line, each with its time and who wrote it, the new one marked.

A calm place to read

Every article opens with a summary, then the article itself, without the clutter around it.

  • Paper, White, Sepia or Quiet, and Night or Black after dark
  • Move to the next article with the arrows, or J and K on a keyboard
  • Sign in to a site in Briefing to get its articles in full
  • Picks up where you left off, on any device
