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 eBOOKS — BUILT IN Browse 60,000+ free public-domain titles from Project Gutenberg without leaving the app. Same typography and theme controls as everything else you read. From Dostoevsky to Austen, one tap to import, one tap to read. iCLOUD SYNC, PRIVATE Your library, reading progress, collections, settings and search history sync through your private iCloud — no account, no email signup, no telemetry on what you read.
