Read - Focused Reading

Read is a single, calm home for everything worth reading.

Subscribe to any RSS or Atom feed. Save web articles from Safari, Mail, or any other app with one tap. Drop in a PDF. Pull a classic from the built-in Project Gutenberg library of 60,000+ free books. Read pulls them all into the same native reader view — your typography, your theme, no web chrome, no social sludge. Just the text.


YOUR READER, NOT THE BROWSER'S

• A real native reader, not a web view — pick from eight typefaces and set the size, line height and column width once
• Four reading palettes — Paper, Sepia, Slate, Charcoal — and an optional matching app theme
• Bionic Reading® mode bolds anchor letters so you scan instead of read, when you need the speed (bring your own RapidAPI key with a Bionic Reading® subscription, your text goes directly to the official Bionic Reading® API — never through our servers)
• Continue Reading remembers your place down to the scroll position, on every device
• Per-feed shelves that look like a magazine rack instead of a list of blue links


SAVE FROM ANYWHERE, READ LATER

• Safari toolbar button — one click adds the page to your Read Later queue
• Safari right-click "Add to Read Later" — silent, no confirmation popup, just a save
• Share-sheet target from every iOS, iPadOS and macOS app
• Paste a URL from the clipboard — Read fetches and extracts the article in seconds
• Saves work offline; everything stays in your library when the network drops


SMART WHERE IT HELPS

Optional AI analysis (bring your own API key, your data goes directly to the provider — never through our servers):

• Article summaries in seconds
• Political-bias detection with reasoning
• Cross-reference any story against the rest of your feeds — see who covered it, who didn't, and where the framing diverges
• Narrative tracking flags how a long-running story shifts week over week


A LIBRARY THAT MATCHES HOW YOU ACTUALLY READ

• Collections for the long-running threads you keep coming back to
• Read Later queue for the stack you'll get to eventually
• Favorites and Finished sections so nothing slips through
• Full-text search across every article, book and clipping you've saved
• Built-in web browser with reader-view detection — see a feed icon? Subscribe in one tap
