Android app
Smoothie turns article discovery into an actual reading habit. It finds pieces that fit your interests, prepares them before you open them, and gives you a calmer way to finish them.
Product
Smoothie now treats discovery, import, cleanup, and reading as one system. That means the app can find articles you care about, bring them in cleanly, and keep the reading surface steady once you are in.
Topic-aware feeds, trusted sources, local ranking, and pull to refresh when you want a new batch.
File import, clipboard capture, search-generated reads, and share support remain available without becoming the whole product.
Smoothie reads for author intent first, then shapes the reading experience around what the piece is trying to do.
The app opens into the original article by default, then quietly prepares better structure in the background. Unified view, alternates, and focus support are tools, not interruptions.
Read the article as written, with cleaner extraction and smoother paragraph rhythm.
Move to a structure that better matches comparison, explanation, recommendation, or instruction.
Keep secondary layouts nearby for scanning, comparison, or actionability without replacing the main reading flow.
Tap a dense term and smooth it in place with the article context.
Light recaps and checkpoints are available, and fully optional.
Generate a readable primer from a topic, company, or question.
