More news, less junk. Faster.

Features & Capabilities

NetNewsWire is a free, open-source RSS reader that shows you articles from your favorite blogs and news sites and keeps track of what you’ve read. It’s fast, stable, and accessible. It’s like podcasts, but for reading—designed to put you in control of your news instead of relying on the algorithms of corporate social media.

Key features include direct feed downloading, syncing with iCloud and popular services (Feedly, Inoreader, BazQux, FreshRSS), multiple accounts, reader view, custom themes, sharing, starred items, smart feeds (All Unread, Today), OPML import/export, background refresh, search, keyboard shortcuts, home screen widgets, and a share extension.

User Reviews

I love this app! It works great for almost all of my feeds! However reddit RSS feeds are dying lately with 429 errors, and I wonder if it's the user agent? Might also just be reddit killing feeds, always an option. Thanks for building an excellent app for all of my actual rss feed usage!!

So nice, so easy to use, I can’t believe they got Liquid Glass to actually look good! Have tried others but I always come back.

I like to be able to consume a lot of news in a short period of time and this is the perfect app for that. I also wanted something free and open-source that wouldn't harass me for money and it's perfect for that as well.
