I’ve recently started using Feedbin — a US$5/month service that consolidates both RSS feeds and email newsletters into one clean interface: an RSS reader. Reduces email clutter and makes my info consumption more productive.
What’s RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a technology that lets you subscribe to updates from websites, blogs, or podcasts. Instead of visiting each site separately, an RSS reader pulls new content from all your sources into one streamlined feed — like an inbox for the web. It’s been around ‘forever’ (well since 1999) and powers distribution of podcasts.
Why Feedbin?
Feedbin enhances this idea by giving you a custom email address for newsletters. Instead of cluttering your inbox, newsletters land right in your RSS reader. If I miss one, no stress — I just scroll past. No more inbox guilt or extra clicks to delete.
Works with Your Favourite Reader
Feedbin integrates smoothly with popular feed readers such as:
- NetNewsWire – Mac and iOS, open source and beautifully simple
- Reeder – A polished and powerful RSS app for Apple users
- ReadKit – Mac-based reader with integrated read-later support
- Feedly – Cross-platform with AI filtering features
If you use Windows or Android then you will also have a wide selection of RSS readers.
For me, Feedbin keeps email focused on actionable items, while shifting newsletters into a more relaxed, glanceable space. It’s a small but meaningful win for digital sanity.
