Automatic RSS feeds

Add an RSS or Atom feed to automatically save new posts as they are published. Keep checks each feed every few hours and saves new articles as markdown.

RSS sources require a paid plan (Plus or Pro).

Setup

1. Open dashboard → sources and add a new source.

2. Choose RSS 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 an RSS or Atom feed. Common locations include:

/feed, /rss, /atom.xml, 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 are not sure, check the site's footer or try adding /feed to the homepage URL.

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. Keep fetches the linked page and extracts the full article content as markdown so you get the complete text, not just the feed summary.

Both RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds are supported. Items already in your feed are automatically skipped.

Credits

Each imported article uses 1 link credit. Duplicate posts are skipped at no cost.

Removing a feed

Open dashboard → sources and delete the feed source. Existing saved articles stay in your feed — only future syncs stop.
