Cosy Reader is the calm home for everything you mean to read. Your RSS feeds, the articles you bookmark, and the newsletters you subscribe to — finally in one quiet place, in the order they were published. No algorithm. No "for you" tab. No infinite scroll nudging you to read more than you want. Just your reading, the way you chose it. THREE THINGS, ONE HOME • RSS feeds — Follow blogs, news sites, and podcasts. One chronological timeline, no algorithm deciding for you. Bring your existing subscriptions with a one-click OPML import. • Bookmarks — Save any article from the web in one click with the Chrome or Firefox extension. Your reading list is one tap away — come back when you actually have time to read. • Newsletters — Get a dedicated inbox address. Newsletters land in the app, not in your email. Read them when you sit down to read, not between meetings. CALM DOESN'T MEAN BARE-BONES • Search — Find anything by title, URL, or a line you remember reading. • Filters — Filter by tag, source, or reading status, and combine them to find exactly what you need. • Reading progress — A bar tracks where you are, so you pick up right where you left off. • Collections — Group your sources into topics. Read tech on Monday, cooking on Sunday. HOSTED IN EUROPE. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS. EU-hosted servers. No trackers selling your data. No dark patterns. Delete your account and everything goes with it.
