Everything you follow, in one calm feed. No ranking, no repeats, nothing injected.

One story, every outlet

Articles about the same event stack into one story as it forms. Open it for a day-by-day timeline of who reported what.

Knows when it's surging

Trending counts how many different publishers pick a story up, hour by hour, with a Local tab for your country.

The news, not the echo

Syndicated copies, cross-feed duplicates and follow-up rewrites collapse, so one headline doesn't reach you five times.

Topics, not just feeds

Skip the RSS hunt. Name a topic and every new article about it lands in your feed, from any outlet.

Facebook, Reddit and YouTube

Follow pages, subreddits and channels like any other source. Paste the link and Hushread finds the feed, on every plan.

Quick takes, not rewrites

Your feed keeps every outlet's own headline. Open an article and a two-sentence take sits on top of the original.

Hear about it when they publish

Hushread checks your sources from its servers around the clock. Turn on a push for any source, even on Free.

Listen to any article

Natural-voice narration for every article, and a one-minute spoken summary of what's trending across your sources.

How is Hushread different from Inoreader or Feedly?

Inoreader and Feedly are deeper tools, with bigger free plans, newsletters and integrations. Hushread is built around stories: it groups different outlets' coverage of the same event into one story with a timeline, flags stories that are surging, and costs $1.25 a month billed yearly. We compare them honestly, including where they win.

Is Hushread a Google News alternative?

For people who want to choose their own outlets, yes. Your feed is chronological and built only from the sources and topics you follow, and each event is still grouped into one story, the way Google's Full Coverage does it. Google News casts a wider net for free.

Does Hushread use AI?

Some, and we say where. AI writes the two-sentence quick take at the top of an article, titles and summaries for stories covered by three or more outlets, and the daily briefing, and it helps group articles into stories. It never ranks or reorders your feed, and single articles keep their original headlines.

RSS readers without AI

Can Hushread notify me when a site publishes?

Yes. Hushread checks your sources from its servers around the clock, so you can turn on a push notification for any source and hear about new posts without keeping the app open.

RSS readers with notifications

"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."
Lavneet, building Hushread solo
