Stay informed without staying online.
Readspace brings the publications, writers, and newsletters you choose into one calm feed — then turns each day into a five-minute briefing.
The problem
Following the internet shouldn’t be a full-time job.
Newsletters pile up. Blogs get forgotten. Articles scatter across tabs, bookmarks, and inboxes. There’s always something else waiting.
Keeping up shouldn’t mean reading everything.
You just need to know what mattered, what’s worth your time, and what can wait.
Daily Digest
Everything that mattered. Five minutes.
What mattered across your sources, plus what's worth reading next. Catch up over coffee, then move on.

FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Why use Readspace if social media already keeps me informed?
Social media is good at showing you what everyone is reacting to. It is much worse at helping you reliably follow the specific publications, blogs, and writers you care about: their work gets buried, original reporting becomes screenshots and reactions, and the feed never really ends. Readspace gives those sources a dependable home. Every new piece arrives in one clean feed, while the Daily Digest connects the day's developments and surfaces articles worth reading. You still get the convenience — except you choose the inputs and can actually finish.
Is Readspace for people who want to quit social media?
No. Readspace is for anyone who wants news, analysis, and good writing to have their own place instead of being mixed into entertainment and conversation. Keep social media for what you enjoy; use Readspace for the sources you do not want to miss.
What if I don't have time to scroll through my feed?
Open the Daily Digest instead. It summarizes the main developments across your sources and picks out a few "Worth reading" articles for later. When you have time, the complete feed is there. When you don't, you can catch up in about five minutes.
Who decides what goes into my Daily Digest?
The Digest works only with what your chosen sources published during that period. It finds the main developments and standout articles, then links everything back to the original sources. It does not pull stories from publications you never followed.
Why not use Google News, Perplexity, or another AI news app?
Those services build a news universe for you. Readspace lets you build your own — and keep it. Follow any mix of major publications, independent writers, blogs, and niche sources, then get a complete chronological feed and a Digest built only from them. Readspace is also open source, privacy-focused, exportable, and self-hostable if you want complete control.
Do I have to use the AI features?
No. You can use the chronological feed, saved library, newsletters, and clean reader without asking AI to summarize anything. On a self-hosted instance, you can disable the AI features completely.
What is RSS, and how does Readspace use it?
RSS is an open way for websites to publish their latest posts for other apps to follow. When you visit a site, the Readspace browser extension looks for its RSS feed and lets you follow it directly. If the site does not publish one, Readspace may not be able to follow it.
How does Readspace protect my privacy?
Privacy is a core part of Readspace, not an extra feature. There are no ads or trackers on your reading, and we do not sell your reading activity or use it to target you. Readspace is also open source, and you can self-host it if you want your data under your own control.
Why does Readspace have a paid plan?
Readspace is built and maintained by one independent developer. Running it still costs real money: hosting, storage, updating feeds, AI tokens. Pro helps cover those costs and funds the time it takes to keep improving Readspace.
