What is Readspace?

Readspace is an open-source, privacy-first reading hub that brings all your favorite content into one clean, distraction-free inbox—no ads, algorithms, or trackers.

• Unified Inbox: RSS feeds, newsletters, saved articles, Twitter threads, Reddit posts, books—all in one place.
• Chronological & Clean: Feeds are delivered in order; you decide what stays and what goes.
• Privacy & Ownership: Fully self-hostable, zero third‑party tracking, your data stays with you.
• Calm & Curated: Leverage AI-powered summaries and noise filtering so you only see what matters, letting you focus on reading without overwhelm.

What is RSS? RSS is like a personal newswire: subscribe once and get updates from all your favorite sites in one simple, chronological feed. No ads, no algorithms—just the latest posts you choose.

Community & Roadmap

We're building Readspace transparently and collaboratively. Join our growing community and help shape the future of focused reading:

• Discord: Join our community here
• GitHub: Star us and help shape the product.

What about the alternatives?

• Feedly has pivoted to enterprise threat detection, offers a severely limited free tier, and suffers from declining reliability.
• Readwise Reader is not really geared towards RSS, still in beta after years, proprietary and paywalled.

Readspace offers a superior, transparent, and open-source alternative. We're built by readers, for readers, with a singular focus on an exceptional reading experience.

We believe you'll feel the difference.
