Differentiator
Q&A Primer — read to remember
This is what sets ReaderMind apart. Before you read, AI poses 3–5 questions to prime your mind. You read with purpose, then self-grade your recall. It is a retention loop backed by learning science — and no other mobile reader does it.
- 01
Prime before you read
Pick Q&A Primer mode and AI generates 3–5 questions with hints — questions only, never the answers (anti-leak prompt enforced).
- 02
Read with purpose
A sticky bar above the article tracks your current question (e.g. 1/5), so you read with direction instead of skimming.
- 03
Self-grade after
Tap “I’m done” to reveal answers, then self-evaluate — Incorrect / Partial / Correct. Results feed your retention dashboard.
Retrieval practice lifted day-30 recall from 22% to 64% in a 412-subject trial (2024–2025)
Built for real reading
All your reading, finally in one inbox
RSS, newsletters, saved links — with AI ready to read alongside you. Everything below ships in v1.0, inside the app.
Follow-up Q&A you can trust
Ask anything about what you just read. Answers cite the exact paragraphs they used — tap a citation to jump back to the source. Answers, not hallucinations.
RSS, share & paste ingest
Share from Safari, paste a URL, or subscribe to an RSS feed — every major entry point covered, articles triaged automatically.
Sources & unread counts
Manage RSS, newsletters, and saved links in one place, grouped by source with unread dots — stop juggling five apps.
Reading history & highlights
Every article you finish and every passage you marked, retrievable in seconds — jump straight back into context.
Paragraph-level bilingual
Any English article expands into paragraph-level zh-Hans translation (original kept), with long-press AI term tooltips and an example.

Frequently asked
Questions you might have
How is ReaderMind different from a normal read-later app?
The signature difference is Q&A Primer: before you read, AI poses 3–5 questions to prime you, then you self-grade afterwards. It is learning-science-backed retrieval practice that lifts day-30 retention from 22% to 64%. No other mobile reader does it.
What does the free tier include?
Free users can generate 3 summaries a day across all four modes (TL;DR, Key Insights, Q&A Primer, Action Items). Upgrade to Pro for unlimited reading and the full Q&A Primer with a retention dashboard.
Can I trust the AI’s answers?
Follow-up answers cite the exact source paragraphs they relied on — tap a citation to jump back and highlight it. You can always verify against the source instead of trusting blindly. Always check important details against the original.
What happens to my reading data?
No tracking, no ads, never sold. Article content is sent to our self-hosted AI gateway only to generate the summaries and Q&A you request — never for advertising or model training. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Bring your read-later list back to life
