About Newsdrop

Newsdrop separates reading from working email. You get a unique address to use for all your newsletter subscriptions, and it transforms those messages into a single daily digest sent to your inbox, so the content you like is not buried under receipts and calendar invites.

The site frames the problems it targets as information overload, the difficulty of finding past articles in a crowded inbox and paying for content you never read. A sample digest shows summaries and key takeaways from a handful of publications with a read-full-digest link. A directory of newsletters and an advertise page are also part of the site. You can get started for free and the site includes log in and get started flows.
