You choose who to follow. Hushread does the work a plain feed can't: it recognises when thirty articles from thirty outlets are one story, shows it to you once, lays it out as a timeline of how it unfolded, and tells you when it's surging. No algorithm decides what you see. Your sources do. ONE STORY, NOT THIRTY HEADLINES When your outlets all cover the same event, Hushread folds them into a single story. Open it and you get the story so far, then coverage day by day from every source, each one linked to the original report. Follow a story for weeks without rereading the same news twice. TRENDING, FROM YOUR SOURCES Trending is counted from coverage, not clicks. See what the outlets you follow are writing about most, how many of them are on it, and for how long. Filter by Local, or by Politics, Business, Technology, Science, Sports and more. A surge shows up as it forms. READ FAST OR READ DEEP Swipe left on any article for a quick take, written from the report itself. Open the full piece for clean text without clutter. Tap Listen and a natural voice reads it while you walk, cook or commute. ANYTHING CAN BE A SOURCE RSS and Atom feeds, plain websites, subreddits, YouTube channels, Facebook pages, Google News topics. Start from curated collections or search for a site by name. Switching from another reader? Import your OPML in one tap. YOUR ORDER, YOUR RULES Folders with icons, tags, a start screen you pick, Card, Magazine or List layouts. Set rules that alert you when a keyword appears or when coverage turns negative on a topic you watch. Mark scrolled articles as read automatically. Search everything you've ever pulled in. LOCAL AND GLOBAL Local news from your country sits beside world coverage, so you see what matters at home and what's moving everywhere else. EVERYWHERE YOU READ iPhone, iPad, Android and the web, kept in sync. Home screen widget for a glance. Light and dark themes, your fonts, your text size. FREE TO START Follow up to five sources free, forever. Hushread Pro unlocks unlimited sources, trending stories, audio and rules. One subscription covers every device. Hushread is built by a small team that reads a lot of news and got tired of reading it three times.
