About this app

Your reading list keeps growing. Your day doesn't.
Sonder is an RSS reader and news aggregator that turns the feeds, newsletters and articles you pile up into hands-free audio you can listen to anywhere. Finish your morning briefing before the commute ends, catch up on tech news while you make dinner, or turn your long run into a podcast-plus-news session. Real news to speech, powered by natural text to speech narration.
Unlike most RSS readers, Sonder is built to be listened to, not just read. Each article is a ticket: stack them, play them, listen in the order you choose. Your news, your journey.
Why choose Sonder?
Smart Multilingual Text to Speech. Advanced speech synthesis reads your RSS feeds and news articles aloud in multiple languages with natural fluency, highlighting each sentence as it is spoken. Choose between your device's built in TTS voices or Microsoft's natural voice engine for expressive, human sounding narration with adjustable speed, pitch and pause settings.
Import any article by URL. Sonder does not limit you to your feeds. Any article you find anywhere on the web, share it to Sonder or paste the link into the dedicated button on the home screen. The article is extracted, saved and ready for reading or listening. Your own hands free library, built at your own pace.
Organize and filter with tags. Build your own personalized category system. Tag articles by topic, author, project or anything you like, and filter your feed by combining multiple tags to find exactly what you are looking for. Save, sort and retrieve any news piece whenever you need it, your way.
Android Auto Integration. Listen to your news feed and podcasts on the go. Browse your sources, playlist and saved articles directly from your car's display, with full playback controls to skip, rewind and adjust speed without touching your phone.
Podcast Aggregator and Player. Subscribe to any RSS podcast feed and listen alongside your news, all in one app. Track your listening history with progress bars and pick up right where you left off.
Built in Article Translator. Break language barriers instantly. Translate any article without leaving the app and access global news from international RSS sources in your preferred language.
Unique Ticket Feed Design. Explore your news through a distinctive card based interface inspired by classic banknotes. Every article is its own ticket: a visually appealing Material Design 3 layout that organizes your information in an elegant, functional cascade with light and dark themes.
Custom Playlist and Queue. You set the order. Create personalized playlists to organize the news exactly how you want to hear it. Full control over your daily news consumption.
OPML Import and Feed Management. Import your feeds from Inoreader, Feedly, FreshRSS or any OPML file. Organize sources into custom categories and folders. Sonder turns any RSS or Atom feed into a continuous audio stream, the perfect bridge between text news and podcasts.
