Sakura Reader

Sakura is a modern RSS reader designed to fit the way you consume content. Whether you're catching up on news, browsing photo blogs, watching YouTube channels, or listening to podcasts, Sakura has a layout for that.

Multiple Ways to Read Choose from many display styles designed for specific types of experience: inbox for the classic RSS reader experience, swipeable cards for bite sized consumption, a feed-like interface for the social media experience, and more. Specific feeds will also be able to use a subscription view with widescreen thumbnails, and a dedicated podcast player with full playback controls including skip, seek, and background audio is also included.

Intelligence Features (Supported Devices Only) Wake up to an AI-generated briefing of articles published overnight. In the evening, get a digest of the day's highlights. Summaries are generated on-device using Apple Intelligence, so your reading habits never leave your phone. Additionally turn on Content Insights to automatically groups articles together by topic to make content easier to find.

Add Feeds Easily Use the Share Sheet to discover and add RSS feeds from any website, no need to hunt for a feed URL. Sakura automatically detects feeds from web pages, probes common feed paths, and handles special formats like Reddit, YouTube, Fediverse, and Bluesky feeds.

Clean Reading Articles are extracted from their original pages and presented without clutter. Content is cached locally so you can read offline, and built-in translation lets you read feeds in other languages.

Stay in Control Mark articles as read or unread, and mute keywords or authors you don't want to see. Import and export your feeds with OPML so you can move between apps with ease. Additionally, make use of advanced customization options to take control of how feeds are presented.

Built-in Podcast Player Subscribe to podcasts alongside your other feeds. Play episodes with full playback controls, background audio support, and Now Playing integration on your Lock Screen and Control Center.
