Everything a reader needs

No feed algorithm, no engagement metrics — just the writing you chose to follow, arranged the way you want it.

🔎

Follow any site

Paste a website address and Quill finds its feed. Most sites still publish one even when they no longer advertise it, so you can follow far more of the web than you would expect.

📖

Reading that gets out of the way

A three-pane layout with a distraction-free focus mode. Choose your typeface, text size and line spacing, and the reading view stays exactly as you set it.

📄

Full articles from short feeds

Many sites publish only a one-paragraph teaser. Quill pulls in the complete article text so you can read the whole piece in place.

🗂️

Folders, tags and smart rules

Group subscriptions, save pieces for later, and let rules tag, save or mark articles read automatically as they arrive.

🔍

Search everything you have read

Full-text search across your whole library, with recent searches kept close at hand. If you read it in Quill, you can find it again.

🔒

Private by design

Your subscriptions and reading history live in a single file on your own computer. No account, no cloud sync, no analytics.

Reading in three steps

From a blank library to your own front page in a couple of minutes.

1

Add your sites

Paste an address and Quill finds the feed, browse the built-in Discover list, or import an OPML file from your previous reader.

2

Arrange your library

Sort subscriptions into folders, tag what matters, and set rules that quietly handle new articles the way you would.

3

Read

Quill refreshes in the background on your schedule and can let you know when something new arrives.

Questions

The things people usually want to know first.

Does Quill send my reading history anywhere?

No. Your subscriptions, articles and reading history are stored in a single file on your own computer. Quill has no analytics and no cloud sync, and it connects to nothing except the feeds you asked it to follow.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no email address and no login. Install Quill, add a few feeds and start reading.

Can I move my subscriptions from another reader?

Yes. Quill imports OPML files, which is the standard format every major reader exports. You can also export your list from Quill at any time — it is your list, and you can take it with you.

What if a site does not offer a feed?

Paste the site address anyway. Many sites still publish a feed without linking to it, and Quill will look for one. If nothing is published, that site cannot be followed by any RSS reader.

Can I read articles that only publish a summary?

Yes. When a feed carries only a short excerpt, Quill can fetch the full article text so you read the complete piece inside the app instead of being sent out to a browser.

Does Quill work without an internet connection?

Everything you have already fetched stays readable offline. A connection is only needed to pick up new articles.

What languages does Quill speak?

English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
