Now in private alpha

A calm home for everything you read.

Papercove brings your RSS feeds, newsletters, and read-later articles into one quiet inbox. No algorithm, no noise, no AI. Just the things worth your attention, the way you want them.

Three streams, one inbox

Everything you read, finally together.

RSS feeds

Follow any blog or site by URL. Truncated feeds get their full content pulled in, so you never leave to read.

Newsletters

Get a dedicated @papercove.me address. Forward your subscriptions and read them clean, out of your real inbox.

Read later

Save any article and Papercove extracts the readable content for you. Push items in from anywhere with the API.

The whole product

Built one careful detail at a time.

Zen mode

Just the words, beautifully.

A homegrown parser strips emails and articles down to their content, removes tracking pixels, and lays them out for reading. Pair it with focus mode and the rest of the screen disappears.

  • Custom extraction algorithm for newsletters
  • Readability-based parsing for read-later
  • Tracking removed automatically

Subscriptions

Stay subscribed on purpose.

Every sender gets grouped automatically, with stats on how often they actually send. When you want out, one-click unsubscribe really works, and if a sender ignores it, the daemon blocks them outright.

  • Automatic grouping by sender
  • Volume stats to decide what stays
  • Real one-click unsubscribe, with a hard fallback

Why I built this

The web has become incredibly noisy. I built Papercove to have one calm place to read on my own terms, with no pressure, no likes, no algorithm.

Not the next cool startup, not a funding round. Just a good, minimal product, built slowly, with the people who use it.

And the rest

Small, careful details everywhere.

01

Full articles, even from partial feeds.

When a feed only ships an excerpt, Papercove fetches the original page, extracts the full article, and strips the tracking.

02

Out means out.

Papercove tries every proper unsubscribe path in order. If a sender ignores them all, the daemon blocks them outright.

03

Find anything.

Full-text search across all your content, filtered by type, sender, or topic.

04

Subscribe on purpose.

See how often each sender actually emails, grouped automatically, so you can decide what stays.

05

Push in from anywhere.

A simple API to send items straight into Papercove from your own scripts, bookmarklets, or automations.

06

Read with intent.

Focus mode for one item at a time, topics to keep things sorted, favorites and reading time at a glance.

07

Always one tap away.

Install Papercove to your home screen for an app-like read, on desktop or mobile. Carefully built to actually feel native.

08

Tracking removed.

Pixels and trackers are stripped from every email and article before you ever see them.

Built for the keyboard

Triage at the speed of thought.

Every action has a key. Move through your inbox, open, favorite, focus, and archive without ever reaching for the mouse. Power users feel at home in minutes.

Every binding is configurable, and you can start from a preset that already fits your muscle memory.

Questions

What does private alpha mean?

Papercove is early and built by one person. Access is invite-only through alpha codes shared on forums and communities. Got a code? Redeem it to create your account right away. No code yet? Keep an eye out, more go out regularly.

Which sources can I add?

Any RSS or Atom feed by URL, any newsletter via your dedicated @papercove.me address, and any article saved to read later. The API lets you push items in from your own scripts and tools.

Is my reading private?

There is no recommendation engine and no ad model. Tracking pixels are stripped from what you read. Papercove is a tool you pay for, not a feed that profiles you.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Papercove is an installable PWA you can keep on your home screen. There is no offline mode yet, and a native app may come later, but for now a PWA keeps development simple and lets me focus on one thing. I put real care into it so it actually feels good to use, not like a website pretending to be an app.
