Keyword Monitoring via RSS: Push and Email Alerts

Google Alerts is slow, Feedly hides filters behind an expensive plan, and manually checking dozens of sites eats hours. Readine sends a push or email when a keyword appears in your feeds. Rules are a separate module — buy as many as you need.

The problem

Why manual monitoring doesn’t scale

Monitoring competitors, industry news, job postings, or CVEs is a power-user task that spans hundreds of sources. Checking them manually every day doesn’t work: you miss what matters and waste time on noise.

Google Alerts is free but slow — notifications arrive hours or days late. Feedly locks filters behind Pro. Inoreader puts rules on the most expensive tier. You end up paying for an entire bundle just to get “show me articles with this word.”

What you need is a tool that works with feeds you already have and notifies you precisely — without overpaying for everything else.

How it works

Keyword monitoring in Readine

Create a rule: enter keywords, pick feeds (or all of them), set an action — send a notification, add to favorites, delete, etc. When a match appears in an article, Readine sends the alert.

Rules work with every source type: RSS, Telegram channels, YouTube, Substack. One interface for all content.

Limitation: feeds are checked periodically. The minimum interval starts at 5 minutes (depending on the module). Regex is not yet supported — keywords and phrases only. There is no public API for automation.

Rules and filters

Modular model: pay for rules, not the whole bundle

Feedly and Inoreader lock filters behind expensive tiers — you pay for dozens of features just to get one. In Readine, rules are a separate module: buy as many as you need.

Rules can filter by keywords and tags. Filtering is precise: you see only articles that match your criteria, not the full stream.

Fine-tuning reduces false positives: required words, exclusions, and search scope (title, body, tags).

Common doubts

Limitations and answers

— Will there be false positives?

— Fine-tuning cuts the noise: required words, exclusions, search scope (title, body, tags). Accuracy improves as you refine.

— Is the refresh too slow?

— Feeds are checked periodically. The standard interval covers most use cases; faster refresh is available as a separate module. Good enough for CVE monitoring.

— Do rules cost money?

— Yes, rules are a paid module. But you buy rules specifically, not an entire “Pro package.” The modular model is cheaper when you need just one capability.

— Is there an API for automation?

— No. Readine has no public API. Rules are configured through the app interface.
