Inoreader for Raycast

A Raycast extension that goes beyond the original Inoreader experience: it helps you read and triage faster, with a VIP system that immediately surfaces articles from priority sources, plus AI summaries generated from the full article page content.

Available Commands

• My Feed (Articles command): browse feed articles with fast keyboard actions.
• Saved Articles: view saved articles.
• Sources: browse followed sources and manage VIP/non-VIP status.

Current Features

• Save an article directly from the articles list (Save).
• Mark a single article as read (Mark This Item as Read).
• Mark the current stream as read (Mark All as Read).
• Generate an AI summary from the full article page (AI Summary).
• Manage VIP status directly from Sources:
  • Add Source as VIP
  • Remove Source from VIP
• Articles from VIP sources are grouped in a dedicated VIP section in the Articles command.

AI Summary

AI Summary fetches the full web page URL for an article (not the RSS snippet), extracts the main content using Readability.js, and asks Raycast AI to generate a concise summary.

Where to use it

• From My Feed actions:
  • Quick Look is the 3rd action (after opening actions).
  • AI Summary is available directly under Quick Look.
• From Quick Look actions:
  • AI Summary opens the dedicated summary view.

Keyboard shortcuts

• In My Feed:
  • Quick Look: Right Arrow
  • AI Summary: Cmd + Right Arrow
• In Quick Look:
  • AI Summary: Right Arrow
• In AI Summary:
  • Open Article in Background: Enter
  • Open Article: Cmd + Enter
  • Regenerate Summary: Option + R

Language setting

• Extension preference: AI Summary Language
• Default: English
• You can set any language name (for example: French, Spanish, German), and summaries will be requested in that language.

Requirements and limits

• Uses Raycast AI API (AI.ask), so Raycast AI access (typically Raycast Pro) is required.
• Some sites may block scraping or return unreadable HTML, in which case summary generation can fail.

Article Opening UX Choice

By default, Enter opens an article in the background and keeps the Raycast window open.

This lets users:

• open multiple interesting articles quickly without leaving the list,
• then mark the feed as read,
• then read the opened articles afterward.

Cmd + Enter is still available to open the article in the foreground browser tab.
