An article intake system for the quietly curious.
Track stories across hundreds of publications. Skip the doom-scroll. Get a clean morning brief on exactly what you care about — and nothing you don't.
Reading from sources you trust
How it works
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.
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.
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
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.
Built for
Who's moving your beat? What did the competition publish overnight? What just broke on the wire? Open one app, see everything.
Track the literature, the press coverage, and the policy debate around your field in one feed. Archive what matters for later citation.
Competitive intel without the dashboard bloat. Know what your market is talking about before the 9 am standup.
Frequently asked
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. The web app works on phones and tablets. A native app may come later if there's demand.
You can delete your account anytime from settings. Your beats, saved articles, and notes are wiped within 30 days. No locked-in data.
Under a minute to set up. Free while in preview.
