# Changelog

Changes made to freefeed, newest first.

[Atom feed URL](https://freefeed.app/en/updates.atom)

## September 2026

### Added the ability to search feeds and manage subscriptions directly from an AI assistant

2026-09-15 · New

We built a public MCP server that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT search feeds and browse the directory without signing in. Once signed in, you can also hand off managing subscriptions, folders, OPML, rules, saved searches, watched keywords, tags, and your read-later list. Neither one returns article text or article lists.

### Made pages available in an AI-friendly text format as well

2026-09-15 · New

Each public page can now be fetched as Markdown — just headings and body text — by adding \`.md\` to the end of the URL or sending \`Accept: text/markdown\`. A summary of the whole site is available at \`/llms.txt\` (short version) and \`/llms-full.txt\` (full version).

### Added a basic information page listing just the numbers and specs

2026-09-15 · New

Added a “/facts” page that lists things like pricing, limits, supported regions, and supported languages as plain facts, without marketing copy. The limits table on the help page now references the same numbers.

### Clarified our policy for accepting AI services' crawlers

2026-09-15 · Notice

We allow crawlers from major AI services that fetch pages based on search or a user's question. For text and data that freefeed itself created, we also allow crawling for training purposes (this doesn't include other sites' content, such as feed names or article titles). Crawlers fetching for training purposes from the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland are still not accepted.

### Added sharing articles to social media

2026-09-15 · New

You can now share articles directly to social media from both the article list and the full article.

### Made it possible to play YouTube articles inline

2026-09-15 · Improved

YouTube articles now play right inside freefeed's article view, without leaving for an external site.

### Fixed a bug that locked you out for 30 days after “Log out of all devices”

2026-09-15 · Fixed

Fixed a bug where, after using “Log out of all devices,” you couldn't get back in for 30 days even after signing in again.

### Added sign-up and sign-in with an email address and password

2026-09-15 · New

For people without an OAuth account, you can now sign up and sign in with just an email address and a password.

### Fixed a broken confirmation email link and a broken sign-in screen

2026-09-15 · Fixed

Fixed a bug where the confirmation email link sent during email sign-up was broken, and a bug where the sign-in screen was displaying incorrectly.

### Added a welcome email for people who sign up with an email address

2026-09-15 · New

Added an email for people who sign up with an email address that explains how to sign in next time and what to do first.
