Readspace
What it is
Readspace brings followed publications, writers, and newsletters into a chronological feed and creates a five-minute daily briefing. Its feed contains only sources the reader follows, without engagement ranking or suggested posts. The Daily Digest groups coverage of the same development across chosen sources and links to them. Readers can explore more than 120,000 sources, search by name, topic, or description, and import or export subscriptions in OPML format. A browser extension can find a site's RSS feed when available. Reading tools include summaries, key-point highlighting, and translation; newsletters can arrive through a private Readspace email alias and appear in a Newsletters folder. The maker says reading has no ads or trackers and activity is not sold or used for targeting. Readspace is open source, supports web, iOS, Android, and browser extensions, and can be self-hosted. Basic is free with limits, while Pro is $5.99 a month, billed monthly, with fair-use limits. Self-hosting has no usage limits but lacks the hosted catalog and bills AI through the user's provider.
