Subscribe to RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds

Add a web feed to automatically save new posts as they are published. Keep checks each feed every few hours and saves new articles into your library.

Supported formats

RSS 2.0 -- the most common blog and news feed format.

Atom -- widely used by platforms like Blogger and WordPress.

JSON Feed -- a modern, JSON-based format used by Micro.blog, some Ghost sites, and others.

h-feed (Microformats) -- feeds embedded directly in HTML using Microformats markup, common on IndieWeb sites.

Keep detects the format automatically. Just paste the URL and it will figure out the rest.

Setup

  1. Open settings -> subscriptions and add a new source.
  2. Choose Web feed and paste the feed URL.
  3. Pick a backfill option or start from now.
  4. Keep checks the feed in the background and saves new posts automatically.

Finding a feed URL

Most blogs and news sites publish a feed. Common locations include:

/feed, /rss, /atom.xml, /feed.json, or /index.xml appended to the site URL.

Substack newsletters use yourname.substack.com/feed.

Medium publications use medium.com/feed/@username or medium.com/feed/publication-name.

If you're not sure, paste the site's homepage URL. Keep will try to discover a feed automatically.

Backfill options

start from now (default): only captures posts published after you add the source.

backfill past N days: imports posts from the last 1 to 90 days when you first add the feed.

backfill last N articles: imports the most recent 1 to 100 articles from the feed regardless of date.

Backfill runs once when the source is created. After that, only newly published posts are captured.

What gets saved

Each new feed entry is saved as a Keep item. Free accounts keep the link, title, and feed metadata. Paid plans also fetch and keep the full article content as markdown when it is available, so you get the complete text instead of just the feed summary.

RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, and h-feed formats are all supported. Items already in your library are automatically skipped.

Usage

Free accounts can follow feeds without a full-content cap. On paid plans, each feed item with kept full content counts toward your billing-cycle usage. Duplicate posts are skipped at no cost.

Feed rollups

For busy RSS and YouTube feeds, turn on Roll up in feed from settings -> subscriptions. Recent posts from that source collapse into one expandable row in your main feed, so one noisy source does not crowd out everything else.

Removing a feed

Open settings -> subscriptions and delete the feed source. Existing saved articles stay in your library. Only future syncs stop.
