Its Spanish digest summary reads: "La biblioteca abrirá dos horas antes los sábados durante una prueba de tres meses que empieza el próximo mes. El horario entre semana no cambia." Original articles stay unchanged. ### Homepage FAQ **Q: How does Readless work?** A: Readless uses AI to create summaries that capture key points from your email newsletters and RSS feeds. So you can stay informed without drowning in separate sources. **Q: Can I choose which sources to include?** A: Yes. You can manage newsletter senders in your digest, and PRO users can also add RSS feeds and Substack publications to include in their scheduled digests. **Q: Does Readless work with Substack?** A: Yes — natively. Paste any Substack handle (@name), profile URL, or publication URL, and Readless connects it as a Substack source (not a generic RSS feed). If the author runs multiple publications, we show a picker so you can pick which to add. Free and paid posts both flow into your digest. **Q: Can I read summaries in a different language?** A: Yes. On Pro and Max, choose a preferred digest language for each schedule. Readless generates the summaries in that language, even when your sources use another. Auto follows the source content. Changing your website or dashboard language does not change your digest language. **Q: How accurate are the AI summaries?** A: We use a GPT-5-level model tuned to capture the most important information while maintaining context and avoiding hallucinations. You can choose between concise and detailed summary styles (Pro feature), and always have the option to read the full original newsletter if needed. **Q: What happens to my newsletter subscriptions?** A: Your existing subscriptions remain unchanged. Readless simply processes them for summaries - you can always access the full newsletters if needed. **Q: Is my data safe?** A: Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption and never share your data with third parties. You can delete your data at any time. --- ## How It Works ### Step 1: Create Your Custom Email Address Sign up and claim your unique @mail.readless.app address. Choose a memorable handle like yourname@mail.readless.app. This becomes your newsletter hub. - Takes 10 seconds to claim your address - Works like any email address - Never touches your personal inbox ### Step 2: Connect Your Sources Three ways to feed your digest: - **Forward newsletters** — Use your @mail.readless.app address: forward newsletters you already get, or subscribe to new ones with it. - **Connect Substack** (Pro) — Paste any Substack handle, profile URL, or publication URL in the Sources tab. Multi-publication authors get a picker so you choose which to add. - **Add an RSS feed** (Pro) — Drop any RSS feed URL into a digest schedule — blogs, podcasts, news sites, anything that publishes a feed. ### Step 3: Set Your Delivery Schedule Choose when you want your digest: morning, noon, or evening. Pick your preferred depth: Concise (ultra-brief) or Detailed (more context). - Daily, weekly, or custom schedules - Pro: Create up to 3 separate digests (e.g., work, investing, tech); Max: up to 8 - Choose a preferred digest language for this schedule to get summaries in that language, even when the sources use another. Auto follows the source content. Available on Pro and Max, independently of your website or dashboard language. - Change anytime — no commitment ### Step 4: Receive Your AI-Powered Digest Get all your newsletters, Substack publications, and RSS feeds consolidated into one clean, organized digest on your schedule. No ads, no clutter, just insights organized by topic or trending themes. - Duplicates automatically removed - Trends surfaced across all newsletters - Links to full originals for deep dives ### Quick Facts | Metric | Value | |---|---| | Setup Time | Under 60 seconds | | Time Savings | 85-90% reduction (80 min → 10 min) | | Sources Supported | Unlimited newsletters, Substack publications, and RSS feeds | | AI Features | Trend detection, de-duplication | | Ad Removal | Automatic filtering | | Delivery Options | Daily, weekly, custom schedules | | Newsletter Market | $16B in 2026, growing 6.4% yearly | | Accuracy | Source links for verification | ### Newsletter Management Comparison | Approach | Time Daily | Info Coverage | Duplicate Stories | Trend Detection | Ads | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Read all manually | 80-120 min | 100% | Read multiple times | Manual spotting | All ads shown | | RSS reader | 60-90 min | 100% | Still present | None | All ads shown | | Pick 3-5 favorites | 30-40 min | 40-50% | Some duplicates | Limited | All ads shown | | **Readless AI Digest** | **10-15 min** | **100%** | **Auto-removed** | **AI-powered** | **Filtered out** | ### What Readers Say Real, verified reader feedback (lightly edited for clarity; readers kept anonymous, never fabricated): > "I love Readless. Instead of five newsletters every morning, I get one email that covers all of them." — Reader consolidating five newsletters (verified) > "I'd been searching for something like this for a while. It's the first tool that actually made my newsletter pile feel manageable." — Early Readless reader (verified) > "I love the de-duplication. When the same story lands in different newsletters, Readless merges it into one, so I'm not reading it over and over." — Reader with overlapping subscriptions (verified) ### How It Works FAQ **Q: How long does it take to set up Readless?** A: Setup takes less than 60 seconds. You claim your @mail.readless.app address, choose your delivery time, and start forwarding newsletters. That's it. Most users are receiving their first digest within 24 hours. **Q: How much time does Readless save?** A: Users report 85-90% time savings. If you read 20 newsletters that take 80 minutes daily, Readless consolidates them into one 10-minute digest. That's 490 minutes (8+ hours) saved per week. **Q: Does Readless work with newsletters, Substack, and RSS feeds?** A: Yes. Readless works with any email newsletter, and Pro users can connect Substack publications directly (paste a handle or URL) and add any RSS feed URL. If it's a newsletter, Substack, or RSS source you follow, Readless can include it in your digest. **Q: Can I still read the original newsletters?** A: Absolutely. Your Readless digest includes direct links to the full original newsletters. When a topic interests you, click through to read the complete article. Think of Readless as your intelligent filter, not a replacement. **Q: How does the AI digest work?** A: Readless AI reads all your newsletters, extracts key insights, removes duplicate coverage of the same stories, organizes content by topic, and presents everything in a clean, scannable format. It spots trends across newsletters that you'd miss reading individually. **Q: What makes Readless different from RSS readers?** A: RSS readers aggregate content but don't summarize it — you still read everything. Readless uses AI to summarize and consolidate newsletters, Substack publications, and RSS feeds, remove duplicates, and surface trends. It's active intelligence, not passive aggregation. **Q: Can I choose which newsletters go into which digest?** A: Yes (Pro plan). Create up to 3 separate digests with different schedules and sources — Max raises this to 8. Example: Work newsletters at 7am, investment newsletters at noon, tech newsletters at 6pm. Readless offers sender filtering for granular control. **Q: What happens to ads and promotional content?** A: Readless filters out advertisements, sponsored sections, and promotional clutter automatically. Your digest contains only editorial content and insights — no banner ads, no affiliate pitches, no noise. **Q: Does Readless delete my original newsletters?** A: No. Newsletters sent to your @mail.readless.app address are processed and archived, not deleted. You can always access originals through your Readless dashboard. We never touch your personal inbox. **Q: How accurate is the AI summarization?** A: Readless never invents or fabricates information — every summary reflects only what was in the original newsletter. The system is tuned to preserve facts, numbers, attributions, and direct quotes faithfully while compressing filler and promotional content. Every digest entry links to the full original, so you can verify any specific detail in one click. **Q: Can I adjust the digest depth and format?** A: Yes. Choose between "Concise" (ultra-brief summaries) and "Detailed" (more context and nuance). You can also switch between "Categories" format (organized by topic) and "Hot Topics" format (trending themes first). **Q: What if I miss something important in the digest?** A: Every digest entry links directly to the full original newsletter. If a topic matters to you, click through for the complete story. Readless also highlights "trending topics" that appear across multiple newsletters — ensuring you never miss major stories. **Q: How does Readless handle the same story showing up in multiple newsletters?** A: When several newsletters cover the same launch, study, or news event, Readless detects the overlap and merges them into a single summary that combines insights from every source. Instead of reading the same story 3-5 times across your subscriptions, you get one synthesized item with links to every newsletter that covered it. This typically removes 30-40% of redundant reading at high subscription volumes. --- ## Pricing ### Plans Readless has two plans — Pro and Max.

It's the first tool that actually made my newsletter pile feel manageable." — Early Readless reader (verified) ### Pricing FAQ **Q: Can I change plans anytime?** A: Yes! You can change plans at any time. For active subscribers, upgrading from Pro to Max takes effect immediately, and the billing difference is prorated. During the 7-day Pro trial, upgrading gives you immediate Max access with no immediate charge; billing at $9/month begins when the Pro trial ends. Downgrading from Max to Pro is scheduled for the end of your current billing period. You can also cancel anytime and keep access until the end of the billing period. **Q: Is there a commitment?** A: No commitment required. You can cancel anytime and your subscription will remain active until the end of your billing period. **Q: Do you offer annual pricing?** A: Right now, we're keeping it simple with monthly plans for maximum flexibility. We're planning to add annual options with a nice discount soon. **Q: What payment methods do you accept?** A: We accept all major credit cards through Stripe, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and more. **Q: Can I add Substack publications and RSS feeds to my digests?** A: Yes. Substack and RSS support are both included with Pro. For Substack, use the dedicated 'Connect Substack' option in the Sources tab — paste a handle, profile URL, or publication URL, and Readless connects it as a native Substack source (with a picker if the author runs multiple publications). For everything else with a feed, drop the RSS URL into a digest schedule. Newsletters, Substack, and RSS all flow into the same digest. **Q: Can I get a refund?** A: We offer a 7-day free trial so you can try the service. You can cancel anytime and your subscription will remain active until the end of your billing period. **Q: Can I run multiple separate digests, like work newsletters at 7am and finance newsletters at noon?** A: Yes — Pro supports up to 3 separate digest schedules (Max raises this to 8), each with its own delivery time, weekday selection, and sender filters. A common setup: tech and product newsletters at 7am, investment and markets newsletters at noon, and a leisure-reading digest on weekends. Each digest is generated independently, so the system can also adjust depth per-digest (concise for the morning briefing, detailed for the weekend one). **Q: What's the difference between Pro and Max?** A: Pro includes newsletter, Substack, and RSS support, up to 3 separate digest schedules, custom summary depth, and custom weekdays and delivery times. Max raises the limit to up to 8 digest schedules and adds the Synthesis editorial briefing (one cross-source editorial brief woven across every source) and custom summary instructions. Eligible new customers start with the 7-day Pro trial, and Max is available as an upgrade from Pro in the dashboard. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### General **Q: How does Readless work?** A: Readless uses AI to create summaries that capture the key points from your email newsletters, Substack publications, and RSS feeds. Instead of reading dozens of individual sources, you get one consolidated digest with the most important information. You can choose your delivery schedule, customize which sources to include, and select between concise or detailed summary styles. Pro users can connect Substack publications (paste a handle or URL) and add RSS feeds directly to their digest schedules. **Q: Can I choose which newsletters to include?** A: Yes! With the Pro plan, you can create custom schedules and filter specific senders. You have complete control over which newsletters appear in each digest. **Q: What happens to my original newsletters?** A: Your original newsletters are safely stored in your account. You can access the full, original content anytime from your dashboard. The AI summaries are designed to capture key information, but if you ever want to read the complete newsletter, it's just a click away. **Q: How do I subscribe newsletters to Readless?** A: After signing up, you'll receive a custom email address (like yourname@mail.readless.app). Simply forward your newsletters to this address or update your newsletter subscriptions to use this email. Any newsletter sent to your Readless email will automatically be processed and included in your digests. **Q: Can I use Readless with my existing email address?** A: Yes! You can keep all your existing newsletter subscriptions. Just forward newsletters to your custom Readless email address, or update your subscriptions to use your Readless email. Your digest summaries will be sent to your primary email address on your chosen schedule. ### Features **Q: How accurate are the AI summaries?** A: Readless only summarizes what is actually in the original — it never invents or fabricates information. The system is tuned to preserve specific facts (numbers, names, dates, direct quotes, attributions, and explicit claims) while compressing filler, intro padding, and repeated context. Every digest entry links directly to the full original newsletter, so you can verify any detail in one click. Most users find that key insights, data points, and action items pass through faithfully while ad/sponsor blocks and boilerplate are removed. **Q: What's the difference between Concise and Detailed summaries?** A: Concise summaries provide quick bullet points highlighting the most critical information — perfect for busy professionals who want to scan quickly. Detailed summaries offer more context and explanation while still being significantly shorter than the original newsletters. Most users save 85-90% of their reading time with either style. **Q: Can I get my digest in a different language than the newsletters I subscribe to?** A: Yes. On Pro and Max, open Digest Schedule, edit a schedule, choose Preferred digest language, and save. Readless generates summaries of your newsletters, Substack posts, and RSS articles in that language. Supported options: English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Dutch, Polish. Auto follows the source content rather than selecting your preferred translation language. This setting applies to future digests on that schedule and is separate from your website or dashboard language. Original articles are not translated. **Q: Can I change my digest schedule?** A: Absolutely! You can adjust your digest schedule anytime. Choose which days of the week to receive digests and what time works best for you. Pro users can create up to 3 separate schedules, and Max users up to 8 — for example, a daily digest for urgent industry news and a weekly digest for in-depth analysis. **Q: Does Readless work with all newsletters?** A: Readless works with virtually all text-based email newsletters. We handle both plain text and HTML newsletters, extracting and summarizing the main content while filtering out ads, tracking pixels, and promotional elements. If a newsletter is primarily images or PDFs, those won't be summarized but will still be accessible in your dashboard. **Q: Can I exclude certain newsletters from my digest?** A: Yes! Pro users can create sender filters to control exactly which newsletters appear in each digest. You can also suppress specific senders entirely if you want to keep them but not include them in any digest. **Q: Does Readless support RSS feeds?** A: Yes! Pro users can add RSS feed URLs directly to their digest schedules. RSS content is summarized by AI and included alongside your newsletters in the same digest. This lets you consolidate newsletters and RSS sources into one daily read. **Q: Does Readless work with Substack?** A: Yes — natively. Open the Sources tab and choose 'Connect Substack' (or use the matching option in the setup wizard). Paste any Substack handle (@name), profile URL, or publication URL and Readless connects it as a Substack source — not a generic RSS feed. If the author runs multiple publications, you'll see a picker so you can select which to add. Each connected Substack appears with its own Substack mark in your Sources list, and free + paid posts flow into your digest with AI summaries. **Q: How does Readless handle the same story showing up in multiple newsletters?** A: When several newsletters cover the same launch, study, or news event, Readless detects the overlap and merges them into a single summary that combines insights from every source. Instead of reading the same story 3-5 times across your subscriptions, you get one synthesized item with links to every newsletter that covered it. This typically removes 30-40% of redundant reading at high subscription volumes. **Q: What is the Synthesis editorial briefing?** A: Synthesis is a Max-plan digest style. Instead of listing summaries source by source, Readless reads across every newsletter, Substack, and RSS feed in that digest and writes a single editorial brief — connecting the threads into themes, with citations back to each source so you can verify any claim. Pro digests use the Concise or Detailed per-source styles; Max adds Synthesis on top. There's a full walkthrough, with a live example, on the AI synthesis feature page (https://www.readless.app/features/ai-synthesis). **Q: Can I control the tone and focus of my digests?** A: Yes, on Max. Custom summary instructions let you tell Readless how to write every digest. Set the voice, ask it to lead with a particular angle, keep certain sections short, or focus on what matters to you. You get up to 2,000 characters per schedule, and they apply to every digest that schedule sends. ### Pricing & Billing **Q: What's included in the free trial?** A: Your 7-day free trial includes full access to Pro features: multiple custom schedules, sender filtering, both summary styles, and unlimited newsletters. A card is required to start the trial — you are not charged today, only when the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then with no charge. The trial runs on Pro; you can upgrade to Max anytime from your dashboard for the Synthesis briefing, custom summary instructions, and up to 8 schedules. **Q: What's the difference between Pro and Max?** A: Pro ($4.90/month) includes newsletter, Substack, and RSS support, up to 3 separate digest schedules, custom summary depth, and custom weekdays and delivery times. Max ($9/month) includes everything in Pro and raises the limit to up to 8 digest schedules, plus the Synthesis editorial briefing and custom summary instructions. Every new account starts with the 7-day Pro trial, and Max is available as an upgrade from Pro in the dashboard. **Q: Can I change plans anytime?** A: Yes! You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from your account settings. Upgrading from Pro to Max takes effect immediately, and the billing difference is prorated. Downgrading from Max to Pro takes effect at the end of your current billing period. During the 7-day Pro trial, upgrading to Max unlocks it right away with no immediate charge — Max billing begins when the trial ends. **Q: What happens if I cancel?** A: If you cancel, you'll retain access to your plan's features until the end of your current billing period. After that, your digests will stop, but your account and newsletter data remain accessible. You can reactivate anytime to resume your digests. **Q: Do you offer refunds?** A: We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied within the first 7 days of your paid subscription, contact us for a full refund. After 7 days, we generally don't offer refunds, but we're happy to help resolve any issues you're experiencing. **Q: Is there a discount for annual billing?** A: Currently we offer monthly billing. We're working on annual plans with discounted pricing. Sign up for our newsletter or check back soon for updates on annual billing options. ### Privacy & Security **Q: Is my data safe?** A: Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption for all data in transit and at rest. Your newsletters are processed securely and never shared with third parties. We're committed to protecting your privacy and only use your data to provide the service. **Q: Do you sell my email or data?** A: Never. We don't sell, rent, or share your data with anyone. Your newsletters and email addresses are kept completely private. We only process your newsletters to generate your digests — that's it. **Q: Can you read my newsletters?** A: Our AI processes your newsletters automatically to generate summaries. No human at Readless reads your newsletters. The processing is fully automated and your content remains private. **Q: How long do you keep my newsletters?** A: We store your newsletters for 90 days by default, giving you time to access original content if needed. Older newsletters are automatically deleted. You can adjust retention settings or manually delete newsletters anytime from your dashboard. **Q: What happens to my data if I cancel?** A: If you cancel, your data is retained for 30 days in case you want to reactivate. After 30 days, all your newsletters and digests are permanently deleted. You can request immediate deletion of all data by contacting support. ### Technical **Q: What email providers does Readless work with?** A: Readless works with all email providers including Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, ProtonMail, and custom domains. Your digest can be delivered to any email address you choose. **Q: Can I integrate Readless with other tools?** A: Currently Readless works as a standalone service. Pro includes built-in RSS feed support, so you can add RSS feeds directly to your digest schedules. We're exploring further integrations with productivity tools and note-taking apps. If you have specific integration requests, let us know! **Q: Is there a mobile app?** A: Readless is currently web-based and mobile-responsive, so you can access it from any device's browser. Your digests are delivered via email, so you can read them in your favorite email app. We're considering native mobile apps based on user feedback. **Q: How do I update my delivery email address?** A: You can update your receiving email address from your account settings. We'll send a verification email to confirm the new address before making the change. This ensures your digests are always delivered to the right place. **Q: What if a newsletter doesn't get processed?** A: If a newsletter doesn't appear in your digest, first check that it was sent to your Readless email address. Ensure it's not in your spam folder. If the issue persists, contact support with the newsletter details and we'll investigate immediately. **Q: Which newsletter platforms does Readless work with?** A: Readless works with newsletters from every major platform — Substack, beehiiv, Ghost, Kit (formerly ConvertKit), Mailchimp, Buttondown, Revue successors, Medium subscriptions, LinkedIn newsletters, and the in-house systems used by The Information, Stratechery, Axios, Morning Brew, TLDR, and Politico. More importantly, Readless ingests any email sent to your custom @mail.readless.app address and any RSS feed URL you add — so platform compatibility is not a constraint. If a newsletter is delivered by email or has an RSS feed, Readless can include it in your digest. --- ## About Readless Readless is a bootstrapped, solo-built project started in mid-2025, made in California.
