How it works

Three steps. Zero configuration.

01

Pick your beats

Define the stories you cover. Climate policy, state legislatures, a single company. Subscribe to RSS feeds from the outlets you already read, or add any feed with one paste.

02

We harvest, you read

Every 15 minutes, Dispatch checks your sources. New articles are cleaned, deduplicated, and tagged to your beats automatically. Star what matters, add notes, build an archive.

03

A morning brief, in your inbox

At the time you set, one email. Everything new since yesterday, grouped by beat, ranked by recency. No tabs. No noise. Just the brief.

Why Dispatch is different

We don't pick the news. You do.

Most news apps try to guess what you'll like. They optimize for clicks, so they surface what's popular, not what's relevant to your work. Dispatch goes the other way: you pick the publications, you pick the topics, and we just keep watching. No algorithm. No engagement tricks. Just the feeds you asked for, delivered on your schedule.

Most apps
  • Algorithmic feed, optimized for clicks
  • Sources you didn't choose
  • Sensational headlines push real news down
  • Notifications every hour
Dispatch
  • You pick every source
  • Chronological, newest first
  • Nothing sponsored, nothing boosted
  • One email a day, at your chosen hour

Frequently asked

Questions we hear a lot.

Is this really free?+

Yes, while Dispatch is in research preview. We'll introduce paid tiers eventually (unlimited beats, advanced filters, team accounts), but everything you see today stays free. No credit card required, ever.

How is this different from Feedly or Google News?+

Google News picks what you read; Dispatch lets you pick. Feedly is closer, but built around a sprawling feature set from the last decade. Dispatch is opinionated: one clean feed, a morning digest, and keyword filters. That's it.

What's an RSS feed?+

It's a hidden URL that most publications maintain specifically so apps like this can read what they publish. You don't have to think about it — we handle the plumbing. Paste a news site's URL and Dispatch finds its feed.

Do you read my articles?+

No. We fetch publicly published RSS feeds, store titles and short excerpts, and link you to the original publisher. We never sell or share what you read. See the privacy policy.

Can I use this on mobile?+

Yes. The web app works on phones and tablets. A native app may come later if there's demand.

What happens if I cancel?+

You can delete your account anytime from settings. Your beats, saved articles, and notes are wiped within 30 days. No locked-in data.
