The problem

You follow too much. Refeed does the reading.

Each channel, feed and alert is useful. Together they are a roar.

Today. Dozens of places, all shouting at once. A quiet morning
  • Senior Rust engineer, fully remote
  • Laptop 14″ lowest in 90 days
  • 4.2 fixes a replication bug
With Refeed. Three things, each one says why. The same morning, edited

How it works

Watch. Match. Deliver.

Set it up once. After that Refeed does the reading and tells you what is worth yours.

  1. 1

    Watch

    Point it at the places you follow.

    Paste a website address and Refeed finds its feed. Add a Telegram channel or group. Or give anything that can send a webhook a URL.

    • Telegram
    • RSS and Atom
    • Webhooks

  2. 2

    Match

    Say what you care about.

    Add topics as keywords and phrases, or let a matcher judge by meaning. Every result shows why it matched.

    • Your choice of matcher

  3. 3

    Deliver

    Read it, or let it find you.

    Results always land in the app. Send them to a Telegram chat, email or a signed webhook too, instantly or as a digest every few minutes.

    Why it's different

    Big AI builds agents that read everything of yours. This is a filter you own.

    It tells you why

    Every result carries its topic, its score and the reason it passed. If something looks wrong, you can see why and fix the rule.

    • Highlight the words that matched
    • ↳ the reason, in plain words
    • topic · score and an AI tag when a model judged it

    You pick the matcher

    The default. Refeed judges relevance by meaning, and it is included in Pro. If it is unavailable, Refeed falls back to your keywords instead of stopping.

    matching: Refeed smart

    Posts sent to a matcher are used only to match them for you.

    Instant, or a digest

    Each match reaches you the moment it is found.

    Coming next

    Your setup, not ours.

    Questions

    Questions, answered plainly.

    What does Refeed do with my data?

    It stores the sources and topics you set up and the results that matched, so your feed can be shown to you. Account credentials are encrypted at rest. Posts sent to a matcher are used only to match them for you.

    Do I need my own AI?

    No. Keywords work on their own, and smart matching by Refeed is included in Pro. You can also connect your own AI and pay your provider directly.

    Is it safe to connect my Telegram account?

    Telegram sources that need your account use a login stored encrypted. Using an account through any third-party client can lead Telegram to restrict it, so consider a secondary account. RSS and webhook sources need no account at all.

    Where does Refeed run?

    Refeed is hosted by us. You can self-host your own components, such as a source or a matcher, on your PC or server.

    When does it open, and what does it cost?

    There is no date yet. People on the waitlist are invited in waves, and the build log shows progress. Everyone can start with a 7-day free trial. The prices on this page are planned for the beta. Limits are soft during the beta, and we will email you 30 days before enforcing any of them.

    What happens when the trial ends?

    Collecting stops until you subscribe. You can still export, but trial data is not guaranteed to be kept.

    Is there a mobile app?

    Yes, in private testing on Android.

    Do I need to be technical?

    No. In the app you pick everything from a list.

    Can I run just one source myself?

    Soon. Self-host a source, matcher or output on your PC or server, so your Telegram login can stay with you.

    Can I build my own sources, matchers and destinations?

    Soon. Developers get an SDK with examples, in early access.

    Can I leave, and take my data?

    Yes. Export is free on every plan, and every email from us has a one-click unsubscribe that also deletes your waitlist data.
