About Tidings
Reading the web should feel calm, not chaotic.
Tidings is a free RSS reader built on one simple idea: you — not an algorithm — should decide what you read.
Our story
The open web is full of wonderful writing — thoughtful blogs, independent newsletters, local news — but most of it gets buried under algorithmic timelines that reward outrage over substance. We missed the feeling of opening a reader and seeing everything we follow, and nothing we don’t.
So we built Tidings: a clean, modern take on the classic feed reader. Paste any site’s RSS feed, organize it into folders, and every new article flows into one chronological stream. Mark stories read as you go, save the good ones for later, and close the tab when you’re done — because a reader should respect your time, not consume it.
What we value
Calm by design
No infinite scroll tricks, no engagement bait. Just the stories from sources you chose, in the order they were published.
Your feeds, your rules
Follow any site with an RSS feed, sort everything into folders, and shape a stream that reflects what you actually care about.
Private by default
Your reading list lives in your browser. We don’t profile you, track what you read, or sell your attention to anyone.
