WHY "KANSO" Kanso (簡素) is a Japanese idea of simplicity fewer ornaments, more breathing room. This app applies that to news: not a noisy timeline, but a calm shelf where typography, paper-like surfaces, and gentle spacing keep the focus on what you choose to read. WHAT YOU GET • Add RSS and Atom feeds, organised on shelves you name. • Today: what’s new across everything—filter by unread, all, or saved. • Saved articles with optional folders so “read later” stays tidy. • A reader built for long-form reading, with thumbnails you can tune. • Sign in to sync feeds, saved items, and settings across your devices (when enabled). KANSO PLUS (OPTIONAL) • Unlimited feeds (free tier includes up to 12 feeds). • Handwriting / ink on more articles (free tier includes up to 5 ink articles). • Quiet Focus: a calmer reader chrome when you want fewer distractions. • Page watch: when a site has no RSS, follow it as a lightweight link feed from the page (background refresh about weekly; timing isn’t guaranteed). If you want RSS without the rush, Kanso is the quiet corner for your reading list.
