What HeyNews is
HeyNews is a newsletter drafting platform that learns a publication’s phrasing, tone, and structure from past issues, then helps curate stories and prepare publish-ready drafts. Style Rules carry preferences across drafts. It can monitor RSS feeds, Reddit, blogs, social media, websites, subreddits, and YouTube channels, scoring stories for relevance. In the editor, users can create a full issue or individual sections, set a Draft Brief, request rewrites or subject lines, and search for images.
Recurring automations can prepare drafts on issue days or up to six days beforehand, but drafts wait for user review. HeyNews does not schedule or send newsletters. It connects directly with beehiiv and Kit; archives from Substack, Buttondown, Ghost, Mailchimp, Medium, and other public sources can be imported by archive URL. Connected beehiiv or Kit accounts provide opens and clicks for analytics, story ranking, and subject-line suggestions. Plans start at $39 a month, and a 14-day trial ends sooner if five issues are generated. The service is available on the web and as an extension, and is intended for creators and publishers, with custom-scoped newsletter services also offered to creators and company teams.
Who it suits
HeyNews suits creators and publishers who want to turn monitored sources and past newsletter issues into editable drafts. It can also fit teams using beehiiv or Kit for engagement data, provided they will review and send newsletters separately.
