## Description

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.
