Pick your sources.
Understand the news.
No algorithm.

You choose who to follow. Hushread does the work a plain feed can't: it recognizes when thirty articles from thirty outlets are one story, shows it to you once, lays it out as a timeline of how it unfolded, and notices when it's surging.

See it in motion

Your quiet feed, in action.

Your sources, grouped into stories as they form. Tap "See whole story" for every outlet's take on a timeline, swipe an article for a quick take, or press play and listen.

01 / Features

RSS, with a brain.

Every publisher you follow flows in raw and unranked. Hushread's only job is to correlate.

Whole story

One story, every angle.

Articles about the same event are detected and stacked into a single story as it forms. Open it for the full timeline: every outlet, day by day, with a summary of how it developed. Long stories chain into chapters back to how it started.

Trending

Knows when it's bursting.

Hushread tracks how many distinct publishers weigh in, hour by hour. Trending ranks what is genuinely surging across your sources right now, with a Local tab for your country and one for every section.

No repeats

The news, not the echo.

Cross-feed duplicates, syndicated copies and follow-up rewrites collapse under the freshest version. The same headline never hits you five times in a row.

Topics

Topics, not feeds.

Skip the RSS hunt. Name a topic like "climate" or "chip exports" and every new article about it lands in your feed.

Beyond RSS

Facebook, Reddit & YouTube.

Follow Facebook pages, subreddits and YouTube channels natively, like any other source. Few readers can.

AI, on demand

Summaries when you ask.

A two-sentence quick take for any article, generated the moment you request it, plus a one-minute audio briefing of what's trending. Nothing summarized or pushed at you unasked.

Reader

Distraction-free, day or night.

A quiet full-article view with light and dark themes, adjustable type, audio for any article, and no ads or popups. Just you and the words.

"The thing that always bothered me about RSS: someone I care about publishes something, and I won't know until I remember to check my reader. So I built one that keeps checking while I sleep. No algorithm, no engagement tricks. Just the people you follow, the moment they publish."
