The coverage sigil

Our logo is a chart. Every story gets one.

Three arcs show how many of a story’s sources lean left, center and right. The arcs are proportional, not equal — equal thirds would draw a false balance, and showing the real balance is the point.

How it works

From a flood of headlines to one clear story.

  1. Monitor

    SoftFeeder continuously collects new articles from publishers’ public feeds and pages.

  2. Analyze

    Articles about the same event are grouped into one story. Each is read for the people, companies, places and topics involved, its tone, and where it sits on the political spectrum.

  3. Understand

    You get the story, its summary and its signals — and a link to every original article.

In the app

  • Home

    Your For You feed, built around what you follow and opening with a brief for the time of day. Plus a tab for every topic.

  • Search

    Trending people, companies and topics — or look up any name to see its coverage and sentiment.

  • Library

    Stories you’ve bookmarked, what you’ve read recently, and everything you follow.

  • Profile

    Pick your interests — topics, people and publications — to shape your feed.

Principles

Built to point you to the reporting.

  • We link to publishers. We don’t republish them.

    SoftFeeder shows headlines, source names, brief teasers and signals. When you choose to read an article, it opens on the publisher’s own page.

    Terms: Publisher content

  • AI adds context, not conclusions.

    Summaries and signals help you compare coverage. They can be incomplete or out of date, so the original reporting is always one tap away.

    Terms: AI-assisted analysis

  • Your reading isn’t for sale.

    We never sell your data, and we never use your reading history for advertising. You can delete your account from inside the app.
