ABOUT THE GLAD READER
Your issues.
A calmer way to keep up.
The Glad Reader, from Media Hogg LLC, is a personal issue tracker and updater built for progressive readers who care about inclusion, community, and meaningful progress.
Built to replace the outrage scroll.
Choose the issues you follow rather than wading through everything. Get updates, important bill developments, useful context, and clearly labeled opinion in a text-first app with no ads and no photos.
Two feeds, for different moments.
Unfiltered gives you broader coverage, including difficult subjects and political context. Relaxing gives you positive stories and constructive developments when you want a break.
Relaxing’s editorial rules exclude politician names, political parties, stories involving Trump, personal attacks, and rage-bait. We aim for a welcoming reading space; no app can guarantee how every story will feel to every person.
Follow what matters to you.
Choose among 12 issues, from climate and labor to LGBTQ+ rights, affordability, AI, and world affairs. Set topics separately for each feed and filter by Quick update, Important update, or Article.
Helpful details, built in.
Opened items move below unopened ones. Pull down to refresh, hide opened pieces, and follow source links. Election information appears only in Unfiltered. Get alerts for important House and Senate bill updates in your chosen topics.
