CloakFeed turns your pile of unread newsletters, feeds and documents into a reading list you can actually finish. No more endless scrolling — just work through it and you're done. Everything downloads straight to your phone, so there's no account to sign up for and no server storing your data.

An unread pile is a sorting problem, not a discipline problem. CloakFeed treats it like one.
Where it stands.
From the beta.
My unread count was over 1,400 and I had given up on it. Two evenings with this and it was down to single digits. It actually ends.
I imported the feed list I exported from Google Reader years ago. One file, no sign-up, no email. It just worked.
I read a week of newsletters on a flight with no wifi. Everything was already on my phone — I did not have to plan for that.
#.01
One file.
One button: paste a feed address, drop in a Gmail Takeout, an .mbox, a PDF or a Word file, or connect Gmail or iCloud Mail. Nothing to sign up for first.
#.02
On device.
Everything is parsed on your phone, and nothing is written until you have said which senders are newsletters. There is no server holding a copy of what you read, because there is no server.
#.03
With an end.
Home hands you one piece that fits the time you say you have, and a short queue behind it. Finish it and the deck gets thinner, instead of a number that only ever counts up.
Privacy.
Your reading stays on your device.
Feeds are fetched and processed on-device. There is no CloakFeed account, no reading history sent anywhere, and nothing to delete from a server later.Questions.
No. There is no sign-up, no email and no login. Add a feed or import a file and start reading.
On your device only. Feeds are fetched and parsed on the phone, and what you read, highlight and note never leaves it — there is no CloakFeed server holding a copy.
Yes. Articles are downloaded to the phone, so a full backlog of feeds and newsletters is readable with no connection.
It is free on Google Play, with no subscription and no ads.
