RSS that stays visible.

What QuietFeed does

QuietFeed turns RSS and Atom feeds into a calm, rotating full-screen stream. Add feeds, let articles rotate, open details when something catches your eye, and dismiss items you have already seen.

Getting started

• Use a starter feed button or paste an RSS feed URL and choose Add Feed.
• QuietFeed refreshes enabled feeds and rotates eligible articles automatically.
• Use Refresh any time you want to fetch new items immediately.

Reading articles

• Click the large headline to open Article Details.
• Article Details shows the feed content available for that item and can scroll when the content is long.
• Use Open Article to visit the original article in a new browser tab.
• Use Dismiss to remove the current item from the active stream without deleting it from stored feed data.

Your Feed

Your Feed is for your own private headlines and article text. Use it to add a quick reminder to yourself, capture a note for later, or save information you do not want to forget. Press Enter to create a custom entry, write a title and content, then save it. Your Feed entries appear before RSS items after refresh or browser reload, and if you refresh the page, Your Feed entries always appear first in the rotation.

• Dismiss a Your Feed entry to archive it.
• Open Feeds, then Manage My Feed to view active and archived entries.
• Use Archive or Unarchive to move entries in and out of rotation.
• Use Delete to permanently remove a Your Feed entry.
• Use Export and Import inside Manage My Feed to move only Your Feed entries between browsers or deployments.

Managing feeds

• Open Feeds to add feeds, enable or disable sources, refresh a source, edit its URL, or add a custom RSS Feed Title.
• Starter feed buttons toggle feeds on and off.
• When a new feed is added, QuietFeed shows a preview with article thumbnails so you can choose Add or Cancel.
• Import OPML to add feeds from another RSS reader.

Filters, expiration, and dismissing

• Use the filter button to include or exclude keywords and phrases.
• Expiration controls how long articles remain eligible after publication. It does not delete items.
• Clear Dismissed Items restores dismissed non-expired RSS items to the rotation.
• If no articles are active, refresh feeds, clear dismissed items, relax filters, or increase expiration time.

Display settings

• Mode applies quick visual presets.
• Title size, title line height, and title width control headline layout.
• Background controls how visible article images are behind the text.
• Gradient chooses the animated background palette used when an article has no image.
• Accent changes the app highlight color.
• Still reduces motion for motion-sensitive or always-on use.

Saving and defaults

• QuietFeed saves settings in the browser automatically.
• Export downloads your current QuietFeed settings as JSON.
• Import restores a QuietFeed settings JSON file.
• Load Defaults reloads quietfeed_default.json.
• To change the deployed default experience, export settings and rename that file to quietfeed_default.json.

Keyboard shortcuts

• Space pauses or resumes rotation.
• Enter creates a Your Feed entry.
• Left and Right move between articles.
• Slash opens Feeds and settings.
• Question mark opens shortcuts.
• Esc closes open dialogs.
