About Inoreader
Inoreader is an RSS reader built for people who subscribe to a lot of feeds and want tight control over what they actually read. It supports RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, newsletter-to-RSS, and has keyword-level filtering, rules, and automations across every feed you follow. The product skews toward researchers, journalists, OSINT analysts, and anyone who treats feed reading as a daily workflow rather than background entertainment.
About Keep
Keep saves articles, posts, videos, feeds, files, and notes as clean Markdown. You can read the library yourself, search it, export it, or let Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, and other clients use the same context over MCP or CLI. Starter is free for bookmark saves and a limited note library. Personal is $10/month and adds full-content Markdown, search, sources, automations, and agent access. X bookmark sync is a $5 add-on for automatic private bookmark import.
