Matcha is a daily digest generator for RSS feeds and keywords, designed for users who want to consume information at their own pace without constant checking. It outputs markdown files viewable in readers like Obsidian or directly in the terminal, consolidating news, weather, and optionally summarized or analyzed articles.

How It Works

Matcha aggregates content from specified RSS feeds and Google News keywords. It can optionally integrate with OpenAI (or LocalAI) to summarize articles or perform custom analysis based on user-defined prompts. The output is a single markdown file per day, updated throughout the day, or a terminal-based view.
