Filters

Filters that read like sentences

When the title of a post contains “Sponsored”, drop it. Each filter reads one part of a post, looks for a piece of text, and decides what happens as the post arrives.

Filters come with the Paid and Premium plans.

What you get

Three things a filter can do

Drop

The post never reaches your queue. Use it for the sponsored posts and the categories you never read.

Mark it read

The post is there if you search for it, and out of your unread count.

Flag

The post arrives with a Flagged mark at the front of its title, so a release note stands out.
How it works

Write it, preview it, let it run

  1. Write the sentence

    Pick the part of the post, the text to look for, and what happens, for every feed or only one.
  2. Preview it

    See how many of your newest posts it would have caught, and apply it to those if you want.
  3. Let it run

    Each filter counts the posts it has decided, so you can tell it is working.
Features

More of what Reader does

The whole article, in place

Open a post and read the article behind it, with the publisher named and the original a click away.

Search with quotes, OR and minus

Find a phrase as written, either of two words, or leave a word out.

One notification, not twelve

Pick the feeds worth hearing about. A check sends one message for all of them, outside your quiet hours.
FAQ

Questions about filters

Does a filter change posts I already have?

No. Filters act on what arrives from now on. The preview can apply one to recent posts if you ask it to.

Does a filter on the summary read the article?

It reads the first 280 characters of the summary the feed gave, which is the line under the title.

What happens to my filters if I move to Free?

They stay where they are and stop running. Nothing you follow or have read changes.
