Decide what belongs in your reading routine and which originals deserve your attention. Readless sends scheduled summaries of eligible newsletters and connected feeds you select; you still choose what to verify and read in full.
Spend 90% less time reading newsletters and save 30+ hours every month. Replace 90 minutes of scattered reading with one 10-minute digest, then open the originals you want to explore.
Pro is US$4.90/month; Max is US$9/month, billed monthly in USD. Eligible new accounts can try Pro for 7 days with a payment card. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid a charge. Max is a separate paid plan, not automatically included in the Pro trial.
Enter how many newsletters you read each day and your average reading time per newsletter. Compare that with a 10-minute daily digest to see time saved each day, hours saved over a 30-day month and the value of that time at $50 per hour.
Estimate the time you can save with a 10-minute daily digest. Monthly results use 30 days; the dollar value uses $50 per hour of time saved.
Time value is not a cash payment. Allow time for any originals you choose to read; your reading routine determines the time you save.

| Approach | Useful job | What to decide |
|---|---|---|
| Full reading | Read the original argument, evidence, charts and wording when detail matters. | Choose which sources and stories deserve that attention. A smaller manual reading list may already fit your needs. |
| Mailbox rules and filters | Route matching messages or organize a reading folder using the settings your mailbox supports. | Check forwarding permissions and test the rule on material you may share. Folder organization and summarization are different jobs. |
| Scheduled Readless summaries | Receive individual eligible source summaries in Concise or Detailed format; paid Max adds optional thematic Synthesis. | Choose sources, sender filters, a format and delivery settings. Include time for checking summaries and opening originals in your comparison. |
| A mixed reading routine | Combine source organization, selected summaries and full reading according to the material. | Use the time-savings calculator to plan your reading window, including the originals you choose to explore in depth. |
A delivery setting is not an exact inbox-arrival guarantee: source availability, polling, processing and email delivery can affect timing. Mailbox rules can help route messages where supported; Readless does not organize or delete messages in your external mailbox.

Pro is US$4.90/month in USD and supports up to 3 schedules with Concise or Detailed summaries of individual eligible sources. Optional Hot Topics can highlight a specific story covered by at least two distinct newsletter senders; source summaries remain separate.
Paid Max is US$9/month in USD and supports up to 8 schedules. It adds optional Synthesis with source references and custom instructions; Concise and Detailed remain available.
AI can omit or misstate information. Promotional filtering and repeated-story detection are fallible; source references do not establish complete coverage or support for every sentence. Keep full reading and checking time in your routine. Compare current plan details before choosing.
Publisher subscriptions and permissions remain separate. Public feeds may supply full text, excerpts or only links; connecting one does not unlock paid content. Selection favors recent eligible material within processing limits, and newly connected feeds do not backfill entire archives.
Use available source references and publisher links for verification, subject to access and availability. Received newsletter emails can be read in the dashboard while stored, subject to retention limits. Readless uses AI and other service providers to process content under the privacy policy and their applicable policies. Review the terms before sending restricted material.
Readless saves most users 30-40 hours per month, with 90% less time spent reading newsletters. If you read 30 newsletters at 3 minutes each, that is 90 minutes daily. A 10-minute digest saves 80 minutes per day, or 40 hours over a 30-day month. Use the calculator to estimate daily savings, monthly hours and the value of that time at $50 per hour for your own reading volume.
Yes. AI can omit context or misstate a detail, and source selection or processing limits can leave material out. Check important claims against available originals, particularly when you need exact wording, evidence or charts. Source references help with that work but do not guarantee that every statement is supported or every important update is included.
Use your mailbox's supported rules to route matching messages or arrange a reading folder. Readless summarizes eligible content it receives or can access and sends scheduled emails. You can use both approaches: a mailbox rule for permitted forwarding, a digest for selected sources and full reading for material whose detail matters. Readless does not organize or delete messages in your external mailbox.
Receive newsletters at your assigned Readless address using a publisher-supported delivery setting, or forward from a mailbox you control where permitted. You can also connect accessible RSS or Substack sources. Provider settings and publisher permissions vary; a connection does not unlock paid material, guarantee every issue or import a complete archive.
Yes. Choose your source set, sender filters, delivery settings and summary style. Pro supports up to 3 schedules with Concise or Detailed individual source summaries. Optional Hot Topics can highlight a specific story covered by at least two distinct newsletter senders; source summaries remain separate. Paid Max supports up to 8 schedules and adds optional thematic Synthesis with source references and custom instructions. Polling, processing and email delivery can affect arrival at the selected time.
Pro and Max can use connected RSS or Substack sources alongside received newsletter emails. Available feed content may be full text, excerpts or links. Selection favors recent eligible material within processing limits, and newly connected feeds do not backfill their archives. Keep any publisher subscription and permission required for the content you want to read.
