Free Feedly alternative · No AI · No source limits
The Feedly alternative that stays freeand stays out of your way.
Feedly turned into an AI research tool with a free plan that runs out fast. Gazette is the other direction: unlimited sources and folders, every item from every source in order, no Leo, no summaries, no ranking. Import your OPML and keep reading.
Why readers leave Feedly for Gazette
No caps on sources or folders
Follow 20 sites or 2,000. Make as many folders as you like. There is no tier that unlocks more, because there are no tiers.
Nothing is ranked or hidden
No AI assistant, no priority inbox, no 'you may have missed'. Every item from every source you follow, newest first, until you reach the end.
Beyond RSS
X accounts, YouTube channels, subreddits, Telegram channels, Bluesky and Mastodon, newsletters and page-change tracking all live in the same folders.
Free forever, honestly
Gazette runs on a tiny stack with no paid APIs. Ordinary in-feed ads keep it free; a low-cost ad-free option is planned, the reader never gets paywalled.
Your data walks with you
OPML in, OPML out, any time. A Google Reader compatible sync API works with NetNewsWire, Reeder, lire and Newsboat.
Built to be finished
Balanced folder views, dwell-based mark-as-read and a swipe reel mean your paper ends. That is the whole point.

Questions people ask before switching
- Is Gazette really free?
- Yes. There is one plan and it costs nothing. Gazette is supported by ordinary in-feed ads and a few sponsored cards. An optional low-cost ad-free upgrade is planned, but every feature stays free.
- Can I import my Feedly subscriptions?
- Yes. Export an OPML file from Feedly, then open Gazette's Settings and choose Import OPML. Folders are preserved.
- Does Gazette have an AI assistant like Leo?
- No, on purpose. Gazette never summarises, rewrites, ranks or filters what your sources publish. Keyword filter rules are available if you want to mute topics yourself.
- How many sources can I follow?
- As many as you like. There is no cap on sources, folders or custom feeds.
- Can I keep using NetNewsWire or Reeder?
- Yes. Gazette exposes a Google Reader compatible sync API. Set a sync password in Settings and point your app at trygazette.com.
- Is there a mobile app?
- Gazette runs on the web today and native iOS and Android apps are on their way. The web app installs to your home screen as a PWA in the meantime.
