Give each selected newsletter a place in your reading routine. Manage source intake and sender routes, choose a schedule and summary style, then review an actual result. Keep publisher accounts and full reading under your control.
Pro is US$4.90/month and Max is US$9/month, billed monthly in USD. Eligible new Pro accounts can try it for 7 days. A payment card is required; cancel before the trial ends to avoid a charge. Max is a separate paid plan, not automatically included in the Pro trial. Publisher subscriptions remain separate.
Start with newsletters you receive and are allowed to forward, suitable subscriptions to your assigned Readless address, or accessible RSS, Atom and Substack sources. Keep publisher accounts, sign-in addresses and paid access under your control. A feed or forwarded issue does not unlock protected posts or transfer a membership.
In Sources, choose the schedule for a newsletter sender or feed, or skip a newsletter sender from digests. Check its displayed route and your default schedule, especially after changing that default. Choosing a route does not create an automatic topic or urgency ranking. Mailbox rules and publisher unsubscribe settings are separate controls.
Choose a summary style, selected days and a local whole hour; check the saved account timezone and whether the schedule can deliver on your plan. For example, keep recurring work updates in one schedule and research sources in another. A weekly choice is a review cadence, not a guarantee of every item published that week.
Confirm an intended new issue reaches your account and review an actual digest against available originals. If a source is missing, check its intake, routing and access before adding more. Source availability, recipient readiness and selection or processing limits affect what appears. A run without eligible content may produce no digest; generation and email delivery affect when it arrives.
Use mailbox organization for original messages and source routing for selected summaries. You can combine these with full reading in your usual mail app, reader or publisher site.
| Control | Useful job | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Organize original mail | Use your mail provider's labels, folders or rules to decide where original messages go. | Forwarding alone does not archive or delete mail. Review matching conditions before changing how originals are handled. |
| Route selected sources | Use Sources to choose a schedule for a newsletter sender or feed, or skip a newsletter sender from digests. | Check the displayed route and default schedule. Skipping a sender does not unsubscribe you from the publisher. |
| Choose a summary routine | Set a schedule's summary style, selected days and local whole hour. | Check your saved timezone, plan allowance and recipient readiness. Content and processing affect the result and arrival time. |
| Keep full reading available | Open available source references and retain permitted originals in a reader or archive you control. | Publisher access and storage limits still apply; Readless is not a permanent complete archive. |
See the email-rule and digest comparison for these complementary choices. Forwarding alone does not remove originals from your mailbox.
Review the first results before changing more subscriptions or adding sources. Keep the originals you want to read closely.
Explore ReadlessPro is US$4.90/month and Max is US$9/month, billed monthly in USD. Eligible new Pro accounts can try it for 7 days. A payment card is required; cancel before the trial ends to avoid a charge. Max is a separate paid plan, not automatically included in the Pro trial. Publisher subscriptions remain separate.
Pro supports up to 3 schedules with separate Concise or Detailed source summaries and sender filters. 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 Synthesis with source references and custom instructions. Choose the format that suits the source material and the reading you want to do.
AI can omit or misstate information, and sponsorship filtering or repeated-story detection can miss material. Check important claims against available originals. References may open a stored received email rather than the publisher's canonical article; publisher access restrictions still apply. Received content is available only while stored under retention limits. Keep permitted long-term copies separately instead of relying on a permanent complete archive.
AI and other service providers process content to provide the service. Review the privacy policy and terms, including applicable provider policies, when deciding what content you are allowed to send.
Labels, folders and mail-provider rules help organize original messages. Readless offers a different output: scheduled summaries of selected eligible newsletter and feed content. You can read originals, use summaries as previews, or combine the two. Readless does not independently clean up your personal mailbox, and neither option establishes a fixed reading-time result.
Choose the permitted newsletter senders and accessible feeds you want to include. Pro supports up to 3 schedules; paid Max supports up to 8. Source availability, routing and selection or processing limits affect which eligible items appear. A saved source does not guarantee that every issue or detail will be summarized. Review actual intake and output before adding more sources.
Yes, through your source choices and routing. In Sources, choose the schedule for a sender or feed, or skip a newsletter sender from digests. Check the displayed route and default schedule. These controls do not assign automatic importance scores or keyword priorities. Skipping a sender does not cancel its publisher subscription or change delivery to your original mailbox.
Start with a small source set. Use permitted forwarding of received newsletters or a publisher-supported delivery change to your assigned Readless address; you can also connect accessible feeds. Publisher sign-in, paid membership and forwarding permissions remain separate. Confirm an intended new issue reaches your account and review a digest before changing more subscriptions. This does not import a complete archive or guarantee uninterrupted intake, and setup has no fixed duration.
Keep using your mail app, reader or publisher site for full reading. Available digest references can open a stored received email rather than the publisher's canonical article; publisher access restrictions still apply. Received content is available only while stored under retention limits. Keep your own permitted long-term copies separately. AI can omit or misstate information, so check important details against the available originals.
Yes. Pro and Max can connect accessible RSS and Atom feeds and supported Substack sources alongside received newsletters. Feed text may be complete, partial or a link. Connecting a source does not unlock paid posts or backfill the full archive, and it does not guarantee complete summaries of embedded audio or video. Only send content you are allowed to process; availability and processing limits affect the output.
