Your news, without the ads or the tracking. Zetfeed brings the news sites, blogs and YouTube channels you follow into one clean feed. You choose every source, no surprises. Paste a link to almost anything and Zetfeed finds its feed, including Bluesky accounts, podcasts and published newsletters. Switching from another RSS reader? Import your OPML file and everything comes with you. YOU DECIDE WHAT GETS THROUGH Sort sources into folders. Mute the ones you want to keep but not see today. Hide what you have already read. Members can also block keywords you never want to see again, filter out sponsored posts, and collapse a story into one card when several of your sources run it. NO SPOILERS Put a show, a film or a team on your watchlist and Zetfeed masks the headlines that would give it away until you choose to look. Finale recaps, ending explainers and last night's score stay hidden while you catch up. Spoiler blocking is a Member feature. MORE THAN HEADLINES Your day has more in it than news, so your feed can too. Insert cards for weather, your favorite shows, stocks, sports scores, concerts near you, the lottery, top stories and the daily games. You choose which cards appear, how often, and which teams, tickers and shows to follow. Inserts are a Member feature. THREE WAYS TO READ List for speed and density. Magazine for big images and room to browse. Card for one story per screen, at your pace. Switch between them easily at any time. MAKE IT YOURS Typography presets, and control over size, spacing and width. Choose between light or dark mode, with customizable accent colors, a warmth slider and a high-contrast option. Members can also select from custom fonts and accent colors. LOCAL NEWS AND WEATHER Local coverage for your area, weather, and events and nearby concerts. Severe weather and earthquake alerts arrive as notifications. FIVE GAMES, FRESH EVERY DAY On Words, Rank Up, Misquote, First! and Nonsense. Test your puzzle solving abilities and trivia knowledge. Each game takes only a few minutes. You can keep a streak and share your results. Daily games are free while members have access to the full games archive. BUILT FOR APPLE, EVERYWHERE Real native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac, not a website in a container. Home Screen widgets for the latest stories and the day's games. An Apple Watch app for headlines and summaries on your wrist. Keyboard shortcuts and proper menu bar support on the Mac. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Articles are cached as they arrive, so a tunnel or a plane does not stop you. Read, save and mark things read offline, and everything syncs when you are back online. LISTEN INSTEAD Any article can be read aloud, on your device. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No ads. No third-party analytics. No trackers. No advertising identifier. We do not sell your data, and there is no ad business here to sell it to. Location is only ever a city or ZIP you type in, because Zetfeed never asks for your device location and cannot read it. FREE, AND FREE TO STAY The free tier is real value, not a demo: a generous number of feeds, all three reading modes, local news and weather, all five daily games, and no ads anywhere. Every download starts with 30 days of Member, free and without a card. When it ends nothing is deleted. Extra feeds pause, and come straight back if you upgrade.
