Lirum

Lirum requires a Lirum Premium auto-renewing subscription.

No algorithm. No feed. Just your content.

Every major platform optimizes for engagement — not for you. The result is always the same: outrage, slop, and an endless scroll designed to keep you watching, not reading. It doesn't matter what the product looks like today; if the incentives are the same, it converges to the same place.

RSS is different. It's open, it's simple, and nobody sits between you and the writers you follow. You subscribe. They publish. That's it.

Lirum is built around that idea: combine RSS feed reading and read-it-later saving in one focused app, and make the reading experience worth your attention. No account required. No tracking. No analytics. Your reading habits stay on your devices.

Distraction-Free Reader: Articles are automatically cleaned of ads, popups, and clutter, leaving just the content. Choose between a beautifully formatted reader view or the original page. Customize your reading with three font families (including Atkinson Hyperlegible for accessibility), adjustable text size, and tunable line spacing. Select a passage and share it as a beautifully formatted quote via iMessage, complete with a link back to the source.

Your River of News: Subscribe to RSS and Atom feeds and browse them in the River — a flowing inbox where items archive as you scroll past. Swipe to save what catches your eye. Pull to refresh, or let background sync keep everything current. No ranking, no suppression — everything your sources publish, in the order they published it.

Save From Anywhere: Use the Share Sheet to save articles from Safari, social media, or any app. Lirum extracts the full article text for offline reading and caches images so your library is always available — even without a connection.

Listen to Articles: Turn any article into audio with premium system voices and full playback controls: play, pause, skip by paragraph, and adjust speed. A mini player keeps you in control while browsing. Works with lock screen Now Playing controls.

Stay Organized: Library -Your saved articles, searchable and filterable River - Unread feed items in a unified stream Reference - An archive of everything you've read

Video Support: YouTube videos and other video content are detected and played inline — no need to leave the app.

Sync Everywhere: iCloud keeps your library, feeds, and reading progress in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No account to create, no email to hand over — just sign in to iCloud and go.

Private by Design: Lirum has no server. There's no account, no telemetry, no analytics, and no way for us to see what you read. Your data syncs through your private iCloud container and lives on your devices. That's it.

Import & Export: Bring your feeds from another reader with OPML import, or back up your full library to JSON. Your data is always yours.

Built for Apple Platforms: A native SwiftUI app designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
