About Lantern Reader - News+Podcasts
The feed that works for you, not on you. Lantern is a personal news reader that ranks articles by content quality — not clicks, likes, or shares. Bring all your sources into one place, tell Lantern what matters to you in plain English, and get a daily feed curated by substance. ALL YOUR SOURCES, ONE FEED RSS, newsletters, podcasts, blogs — no more juggling apps and platforms. Paste any URL and Lantern figures out the format, fetches new content automatically, and presents it clean. Forward newsletters to your personal Lantern email address and they join your feed alongside everything else. YOUR RULES, IN PLAIN ENGLISH "Prioritize deep dives over hot takes." "Skip anything about crypto." Lantern's AI adapts to what you write. Rate articles to teach it your taste. The more you use it, the sharper it gets — without creepy tracking. READ WITH THE FULL PICTURE Every article gets a summary, fact-checks, and cross-references so you know what's worth your time before you dive in. Questionable claims get flagged. Rebuttals from sources you trust surface automatically. LISTEN ON THE GO Text-to-speech for any article. Podcast episodes with transcripts. Background audio playback for your commute, workout, or walk. HIGHLIGHTS & DIGESTS Daily and weekly highlight digests so you never miss the important stuff, even on busy days. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your sources — paste any URL, RSS feed, or newsletter 2. Tell it what matters — write ranking rules in plain English, or use ours 3. Read what's worth it — a daily feed curated by substance, not clicks Lantern replaces the doomscroll with reading that actually matters. No ads. No engagement tricks. Just the content you care about, ranked the way you want.
