WHY "KANSO" Kanso (η°‘η΄ ) 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 β’ Add RSS and Atom feeds, organised on shelves you name. β’ Today: whatβs new across everythingβfilter by unread, all, or saved. β’ Saved articles with optional folders so βread laterβ stays tidy. β’ A reader built for long-form reading, with thumbnails you can tune. β’ Sign in to sync feeds, saved items, and settings across your devices (when enabled). KANSO PLUS (OPTIONAL) β’ Unlimited feeds (free tier includes up to 12 feeds). β’ Handwriting / ink on more articles (free tier includes up to 5 ink articles). β’ Quiet Focus: a calmer reader chrome when you want fewer distractions. β’ Page watch: when a site has no RSS, follow it as a lightweight link feed from the page (background refresh about weekly; timing isnβt guaranteed). If you want RSS without the rush, Kanso is the quiet corner for your reading list.
