YOUR SOURCES • Add any RSS feed, or start from the community directory. • Found a site in Safari? Share it to Safe & Informed and the feed is added. • Organise feeds into categories and subcategories. • Import your feeds from another reader (OPML or Excel). • Recommendations are computed on your device. Nothing in your feed is paid for or picked by someone else. LISTEN ANYWHERE • Read-aloud with the system voice: free, and it works offline. • A natural AI voice and AI summaries on Pro. • Radio turns a topic into a continuous station. • The Daily Briefing reads today's top stories and ends when you're caught up. • CarPlay: browse and play your feeds from the car screen. • Download articles and briefings for offline listening. READING • Reader view strips the clutter. • Magazine view opens photo-rich feeds as a cover, a contents page and full-screen spreads. • Coverage lines up how different outlets headline the same story. • Podcasts next to your news. • 22 languages, including Arabic and Hebrew, plus on-device translation of articles. • Adjustable text size, light and dark themes.
