Read the river. Save it to your vault.

An RSS reader that saves the stories you keep to your own markdown vault, each with a note on why.

Your reading stays yours. Plain files, no lock-in.
What Riverbed does

A reader with one strong opinion.

The things you choose to keep should be yours, in files you own, with the reason you kept them.

Feeds, done right

Import your OPML, keep your folders, and read in a clean river with condensed, comfortable, and full density.

Save with a reason

Keep an article with one line on why. That note becomes how you find it again, the one warm gesture in the app.

Your own vault

Everything you keep is written to plain markdown on your disk. No lock-in, no export step. It is already yours.

The idea

Blue is the water, the river you read in. Ember is the earth, the bed beneath it, and the one warm point we reserve for the moment you keep something. A spot of ember always means you kept this.

When does Riverbed open?

It's not open yet. Join the waitlist and you'll get an email the day it does. There's no fixed date to share yet, but the waitlist hears first.

Where does Riverbed save what I keep?

To your own markdown vault, as plain .md files. Riverbed writes each save to an outbox, and a small companion app drains it into your vault (Obsidian first). What you keep is yours, in a format any app can read.

Will Riverbed be free?

No. Riverbed will be a paid product. Pricing isn't set yet, and waitlist members will hear it before anyone else.

Be there when Riverbed opens.

Drop your email and you'll get one message from us, on the day the doors open. No drip, no spam.
