Subscribe
Only what you subscribe to
Paste the address of any RSS or Atom feed. WeaveRead fetches its title and site icon, and the source joins your list. Nothing else is added to your timeline.
Timeline
One timeline, in publishing order
Every new post from every feed, newest first. Filter to one source, to unread, or to favorites. Swipe to mark as read or favorite, or mark everything above a post as read in one go.
Reading
Comfortable to read
Articles open in a clean reading view with their images, galleries, and long pictures. Open the original page in the app or in your default browser; you choose which in Settings.
- Light, dark, or follow the system
- Dynamic Type and Increase Contrast supported
iPad
Sources on the left, stories on the right
On iPad, WeaveRead uses the space: your subscriptions in a sidebar, the timeline beside it, and the article a tap away.
