TheFeed: Private Feeds+Chat

TheFeed is a lightweight reader and private messenger that works over plain DNS,

so it keeps working on networks where almost everything else is blocked.

Follow public Telegram channels and public X (Twitter) accounts in one clean,

fast feed. Read posts, view photos and media, and get a new-message badge per

channel — all delivered as ordinary encrypted DNS traffic that blends in with

normal network activity.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Feed — follow Telegram channels and public X accounts, grouped and easy to scan.

• Mirror — a read-only, web-style view of a channel with stable image and album layout.

• Messenger — send end-to-end encrypted messages to other users. Only the two of

you can read them; delivery is confirmed with matching safety emojis on both devices.

• Saved — keep private, locally encrypted notes and bookmarks.

• Resolvers — a shared, self-healing pool of DNS servers, with a built-in scanner

to find more when your usual ones stop working.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

• End-to-end encryption for messages (X25519, Ed25519, AES-256-GCM).

• All traffic is encrypted and rides standard DNS, with random padding so message

sizes cannot be fingerprinted.

• No account, no phone number, no email. Your messaging identity is generated on

your device from a recovery code you control.

• The app runs on your own device and connects only to the servers in the config

you use. Messages are end-to-end encrypted, so no server that relays them — nor

anyone else — can read their contents.

WORKS WHERE OTHER APPS DON'T

When conventional connections are throttled or filtered, DNS usually still gets

through. TheFeed uses that narrow path to deliver feeds and messages, and adapts

automatically by scoring resolvers on speed and reliability.

OPEN AND SELF-HOSTABLE

TheFeed is open source. Anyone can run a server outside the filtered network and

share a config with friends and family. Import a config, or paste a domain and

passphrase, and you are reading in seconds.

Free. Open source. No ads. No tracking.
