Quick Start

Download directly (recommended)

Download the latest single-file executable from Releases (no extraction needed, no pile of DLLs):

Platform	File
Windows x64	sip-win-x64.exe
Linux x64	sip-linux-x64
macOS Intel / Apple Silicon	sip-osx-x64 / sip-osx-arm64

After downloading, run it directly:

./sip.exe            # Windows: enter TUI (creates readwithhotsoup/ data dir on first launch)
./sip.exe --help     # or use the CLI directly

• Single file + built-in official translations: language files are embedded into the exe, auto-restored when the data directory is missing — a single exe works even if that's all you copy
• Framework dependency: requires the .NET 10 runtime to be preinstalled on the target machine (small footprint); to skip the runtime use a self-contained publish (see below)
• Data directory: on first run, readwithhotsoup/ is auto-created next to the exe — the SQLite database rss.db, AI config, language files, full-text cache, reading progress, telemetry, and all data live here; back up or migrate by copying the whole folder

AI skill

The .opencode/skills/sip-rss directory in the source contains a skill you can hand directly to AI. You can also download sip-skill.zip directly from Releases (shipped alongside the single-file builds for each platform).
