Read the news, not the hype
Don't Hype Me is an RSS reader that uses AI to detect clickbait headlines and rewrite them into factual summaries. Because you deserve to know what you're clicking on before you click.
How It Works

Our AI analyzes each headline for common clickbait patterns: curiosity gaps ('You won't believe...'), emotional manipulation ('Shocking!'), vague promises, exaggeration, and misleading implications. Headlines are scored from 1 (egregious clickbait) to 5 (purely factual). The score helps you quickly identify which articles are worth your time.
When a headline uses clickbait tactics, our AI reads the article summary and rewrites the title to be factual and descriptive—no hype, no manipulation, just what the article is actually about. The rewritten titles are capped at 15 words to keep things concise.
Absolutely. Click 'Show original headline' on any article to see what the publication actually wrote. Sometimes it's educational to see the contrast between clickbait and fact.
Some RSS feeds only provide a title without any article summary. When this happens, our AI can only analyze the headline itself without additional context. We mark these as 'Unverified' because the rewrite might be less accurate.
We check your subscribed feeds every 15 minutes for new articles. You can also manually refresh anytime by clicking the Refresh button or pressing 'r' on your keyboard.
Your feed subscriptions and reading history are stored in your account and not shared with anyone. We don't track what articles you read beyond what's needed to show your read/unread status.
Guest Mode lets you try Don't Hype Me without creating an account. Your feeds and articles are stored locally in your browser. Some features like notifications and OPML export require signing up.
You can tip individual creators directly from their articles — just tap the heart icon. You can also become a supporter and allocate your monthly contribution across the publishers you read most. You choose the split, and you can adjust it anytime.
100% of tips go directly to the creator (minus Stripe processing fees). For monthly supporters, your contribution is split according to your allocation preferences. Any unallocated portion goes toward platform development and keeping Don't Hype Me running.
