Using the reader view

Open any saved article or feed item and ReadHiiv presents it in a clean reader view: just the text and images, with ads, popups, and clutter stripped away.

Customize your reading experience

Open the Aa menu in the reader toolbar. Changes apply straight away and follow you to every article.

• Font — Literata, Lora, Merriweather, Georgia, Plus Jakarta Sans, Atkinson Hyperlegible, or Lexend.
• Size, spacing, and width — tune the type and the measure to what is comfortable for your eyes.
• Background — follow the app theme, or read on Paper, Sepia, or Ember.

The app itself comes in Parchment (light) or Ember (dark), or matches your system. Choose in Settings, under Appearance.

Reading progress

ReadHiiv remembers where you left off in every article, so you can pick long reads back up exactly where you stopped — even on another device.

Cards or headlines

Every list can be read as cards or as headlines, one short row per article. Switch from the View options menu at the top of the list; each list remembers its own choice. Beside it, Unread and All decide whether articles you have already read stay in the list.
