Sound familiar?
Newsletters are great in theory. In practice, they pile up, create guilt, and rarely get read.
The pile-up
47 unread newsletters. You'll read them this weekend. You won't.
The time crunch
You'd love to read everything. There are just not enough hours in the day.
The FOMO trap
You don't unsubscribe because you're afraid of missing something important.
The difference
Most tools give you a list of headlines you still have to click through. Lede actually reads the content and writes a brief worth reading.
💻 Tech & AI — Today
The AI funding arms race is accelerating: Anthropic's $2B raise comes within days of OpenAI's latest model release, which early benchmarks suggest edges ahead on reasoning tasks. Together they signal that 2026 is shaping up as a year of capability leaps rather than consolidation — worth watching if you're tracking enterprise adoption timelines.
On the macro side, Apple's Q2 beat and the Fed's delayed rate signal paint a mixed picture for growth investors. Consumer spending held up, but the Q3 rate outlook adds a layer of uncertainty heading into summer earnings season.
Features
Connect in under a minute via Google's secure OAuth. Works with newsletters already in your inbox — no re-subscribing, no new email address.
Not a list of headlines — actual prose that captures what matters across all your newsletters, grouped by topic and shaped by what you care about.
Five levels per topic — from a single sentence to the full story. The digest expands or contracts around what you actually care about.
Daily, weekly, or bi-weekly. Lands right in your Gmail at the time you choose — no new app to check, no new habit to build.
Personalization
Every topic gets its own depth setting. Set Full on the topics you live for — you'll get the complete story. Set Brief on the ones you just want to stay aware of. Turn off the rest entirely.
The digest that lands in your inbox isn't the same for everyone. It's yours.
Topic priorities
How it works
One click, no password sharing. We use Google's secure OAuth — read-only access to find your newsletters, plus permission to send your digest back to you.
Lede scans your recent newsletters and suggests a topic structure tailored to what's already there. Customize it — add topics, remove ones you don't care about, and set priorities.
Every morning — or whenever you set it — a beautifully written digest lands in your Gmail. One email instead of thirty. Read it in five minutes, then get on with your day.
Early access
We're opening access in small batches. Drop your email and we'll reach out when your spot is ready.
