## What is ReadsFreely RSS Reader?

It scrolls the news for you.

ReadsFreely is a hands-free RSS reader. Headlines auto-scroll at the speed you set. Stand the phone on a desk or in the kitchen. Touch to pause. Tap Open to read the story. No ads. No algorithmic feed. No account.

WHAT IT IS 
A self-playing headline stream from the RSS feeds you choose. Defaults: ST World, BBC News, CNBC World. Add any RSS URL. Filter by source. That’s the product.

WHAT IT IS NOT 
Not a power-user client. No unread counts, no folders, no sync, no OPML (yet), no AI ranking. If you want NetNewsWire or Reeder, use those. If you want the phone to keep walking the headlines while your hands are busy, use this.

HANDS-FREE AUTO-SCROLL 
You set the pace — slow browse or fast scan. The feed itself moves. This is not mark-as-read-on-scroll, and it is not a teleprompter for long articles.

CLEAN 
No ads. No “For You.” No newsletter. Age 4+.
