How it works

Simple by design.
Powerful underneath.

Feedbase does the work in the background so your reading experience stays fast and uninterrupted.

1
Subscribe to any feed or site
Paste a feed URL or any webpage address. Feedbase finds the feed automatically and pulls in articles right away.
plus_circle Instant first fetch
2
Feeds are polled automatically
A background scheduler checks every feed you follow on its own interval. New articles are fetched, deduplicated, and stored so that no action is needed from you.
3
Your reading state is yours alone
Read, starred, and bookmarked state is tracked per-user. Every person on the same instance has their own independent reading list.
person Fully isolated per user
4
New articles appear without refreshing
When new content arrives, your unread counts and article list update live. Open a tab in the morning and your feeds are already fresh.
dot_radiowaves_left_and_right Always up to date
Keybindings

Vim-style.
Three modes. One muscle memory.

Navigate feeds, articles, and the reader without lifting your hands from the keyboard. Two-key sequences work exactly as you'd expect.
