Matter combines newsletters, feeds, read-later saving, and audio playback in one reading app, with web, Gmail, and a Matter email address.

Matter

Overview

Matter is a reading client for newsletters, feeds, articles, threads, and PDFs. It brings those sources into one interface so readers can save material for later, follow writers and feeds, and keep subscriptions organized without relying on separate apps or inbox workflows.

The product centers on an open-web reading workflow: capture content from the browser, pull newsletters from Gmail or a Matter address, then switch between text and audio while highlighting important passages as you go.

Features

Newsletter inbox connection

Connect Gmail from the iOS app to fetch newsletters, or route subscriptions to your unique Matter email address and keep new issues in one place.

Read-later saving

Save articles, threads, and PDFs for later reading, with Matter’s browser extension helping capture web content into the app.

Writers and feeds

Follow writers and feeds so new posts from different sources arrive in the same reading stream.

Text and audio playback

Turn newsletters, blogs, and articles into a listening playlist and switch between text and audio when you want to read hands-free.

In-line highlighting

Highlight as you read with a long press and drag gesture on mobile, or use the pencil on iPad for note capture.

Use Cases

  • Create a read-later queue

    Save long-form articles, threads, or PDFs from the web and return to them later in a dedicated reading interface.

  • Centralize newsletters

    Collect newsletter issues from Gmail or through Matter’s unique email address so subscriptions stay in one reading place.

  • Follow sources across the open web

    Track writers and feeds from different publishers without switching between separate apps or inboxes.

  • Move between reading and listening

    Listen to saved reading material when reading on screen is inconvenient, then switch back to text when you want to scan or highlight.
