Matter gathers everything you want to read – articles, threads, newsletters and more – into one super-sleek feed.

What we love: All the ways to customise our reading. Fan of a particular writer? Follow them wherever they publish, not just a specific feed – Matter will scour the web for their latest publications. Love newsletters but hate emails? Get all your subscriptions delivered straight to Matter.

Quick tip: Readable Podcasts let you save your favourite shows and transcribe their audio to text. Highlight key passages, add notes, share memorable quotes and interact with the podcast as you would any saved article.

Meet the creator: According to co-founder Ben Springwater, Matter’s small team “loves sweating little UX details” such as the app’s highlighting and note-taking interactions, which were designed “to make the reading experience feel more delightful,” he says.
