40 newsletters in.
The 3 you'd
actually read, out.

An assistant that reads your subscriptions so you don't have to. Point your newsletters at a dedicated alias; your assistant works in the background and forwards only what's worth your time. You'll hear from it when there's a reason to.

Get your alias → $5/mo · 7-day trial, no card required.

Filters route by sender. Summarizers condense everything. This reads each story and decides if it's for you.

Setup · your part, once

1

Tell your assistant what you're tracking

What are you actually trying to keep up with right now? Answer in a sentence or two. You can refine later.

2

Point your newsletters at the alias

Sign up to newsletters with [email protected] instead of your real inbox. Your real inbox stays untouched — only newsletters you point at the alias come through us.

3

Then forget about it

You're set. From here your assistant takes over — it reads every issue and you only hear back when something clears the bar.

built for people who read

Newsletters this is built for.

Pick the ones you already read. Your assistant uses them to seed your interests, then walks you through redirecting each one.

Reading your picks…

Pick three or more above and your assistant will reflect back what it understands about you — before you sign up.

Get your alias

Two ways to get in. Either activates your alias instantly. No password.

how it decides

Your assistant reads every issue, so you don't.

It works in the background. No feed, no dashboard, no unread counter — just an inbox that stays quiet until something actually matters.

read
Reads every issue and pulls out the distinct stories inside it.
judge
Judges each one against what you said matters.
deliver
Forwards only what clears the bar — the rest disappear.
