What makes it different

Designed to inform,
not to capture.

Privacy-first
No accounts. No tracking. No data collected. Everything stays on your device, always.
Chronological, always
No ranking algorithm deciding what you see. Your sources, in order, as they were published.
Calm reader
Articles open in a clean, distraction-free reader. No ads, no scripts, no pop-ups. Just the text.
Intentional pauses
The Pause tab guides you through a breathing exercise before you return to reading. A moment, not a metric.
Mute any topic, anytime
Need a break from a stressful subject? Hide it for 3 days, a week, or a month. The news will still be there when you're ready.
CalmFeed Premium
Thematic dossiers to organize your reading
Exclusive themes & custom fonts
Automatic data backup
Calm reading statistics
Mastodon & Bluesky interactions
Extreme Calm mode & Quiet Hours

"The best technology is technology that knows when to get out of the way."

CalmFeed is built on the principles of Calm Tech Notebook — a design philosophy that believes tools should work at the periphery of our attention, not compete for the center of it. No red badges. No infinite scroll. No streak counters. Just your sources, your pace, your terms.

01
Local-first architecture
Your feeds, your saved articles, your preferences — all stored locally on your iPhone. No cloud sync required, no server dependency.
02
You choose your sources
Add any RSS feed, YouTube channel, Mastodon account, or Bluesky profile. No suggestions, no sponsored sources, no limits.
03
No manipulation
CalmFeed does not optimize for engagement, session time, or any other metric. It is designed to be put down as easily as picked up.
04
Slow information by design
Reading is not a competition. CalmFeed encourages deliberate, unhurried engagement with the information that actually matters to you.

Stay informed.
Stay calm.
