Readine gathers the sources you chose into one app: sites and blogs via RSS and Atom, Telegram channels, YouTube, Twitter, Substack, Boosty, Fanbox, Patreon and Sponsr. The app is subscription-based, registration is required, and there is no self-hosted version.
Readine is an app for reading without distractions. The authors you follow publish in different places, and you read them in one app.

| Feature | How it works |
|---|---|
| Full text | Yes, with images. A publication opens in full straight away — there’s no separate button for it |
| Offline | Articles and images are downloaded in advance. The copy stays even if the source deletes the publication |
| Rules | A rule consists of a condition and an action and is applied the moment an article is added to a feed. The condition compares an article field (URL, headline, text, tag) with a value. The action: delete, mark as read, add a tag, export, notify. Paid module |
| Notifications | Push and email notifications by keyword. Paid module |
| Export | Saves articles as files to cloud storage or to Obsidian. Paid module |
| Search | Across the full text of articles, notes and tags |
| Sorting in the feed | You choose the sort order: “newest first” or “oldest first”. The feed has an end. |
| Bulk actions | Mark the filtered items as read, clear all marks |
| Styling | Dark and light themes, font size and style, keyboard shortcuts, text-to-speech |
| Unread limit | None. Read marks are not set by themselves. The unread counter can be hidden |
| Limitation | In Readine |
|---|---|
| Ads | No ads — not on the free plan, not on the paid one |
| Algorithmic feed | The feed holds only the sources you chose, and you choose the order. There are no recommendations |
| Cookies and ad networks | Not used. We don’t sell your data and we don’t pass it to ad networks |
| Built-in AI | There is no summary, no semantic search and no chat with AI. You export the full text of a publication as files, then use your own scripts and your own AI on them |
| Public API | None. Automation works through file export |
| Team feeds | None. The app is for one person — there’s no shared access. You can still sync between devices |
| Offline video | None. Video opens in YouTube or in the original service. Only text and images are saved offline |
| Instant updates | None. Sources update on a schedule, and the frequency is configurable |
| Item | In Readine |
|---|---|
| Stored | The list of sources, read marks, favourites, notes and tags |
| Account deletion | The “Delete account” button in the app settings |
| Deletion timeline | The account and the data are deleted within 30 days. Anonymised statistics remain |
| Lost access to the app | Contact support — the steps are on the account deletion page |
| Export of your data | OPML. Settings → Feeds → “Actions” → “Export OPML”. Choose “Advanced”: the export.opml file contains folders, feeds, articles with tags and notes. Save it via “Save as” (desktop) or “Share” (phone). |
What we store, on what basis, and how to delete it — all in the privacy policy.
