Glean
A self-hosted RSS reader and personal knowledge management tool
Glean is a self-hosted RSS reader and personal knowledge management platform designed to help information-heavy users efficiently aggregate, browse, and organize content from feeds. It centralizes RSS/Atom subscriptions, offering clean reading views, tagging, and organization features such as folders and bookmarks, while giving users full control over their data by deploying on their own infrastructure. Glean also includes real-time background synchronization, enabling feeds to update at regular intervals without manual refresh, and it supports importing and exporting subscription lists for portability. With a modern responsive UI and optional admin dashboard, Glean balances readability with lightweight performance, making it suited for both individual readers and teams. Its knowledge management capabilities are augmented by features like smart filtering, “read later” queues, and future plans for AI-driven summaries and preference-based recommendations.
