Which would you recommend? Raven Reader looks nice and seems to be compatible with Linux and Android --- ## Post 2 by @Gunther — 2022-12-14T09:33:55Z Privacy Guides has a list of recommended RSS reader software [https://www.privacyguides.org/news-aggregators/](https://www.privacyguides.org/news-aggregators/) Personally, I self-host Tiny Tiny RSS and enjoy it. --- ## Post 3 by @Throwaway — 2022-12-14T11:51:54Z On iOS I use Reeder. It’s not a service, just a nice client that you can use with many services. --- ## Post 4 by @sbeve — 2022-12-14T11:57:20Z Oh, interesting. I have been using NetNewsWire. I am curious, tho, what do you mean by “you can use with many services”. --- ## Post 5 by @Throwaway — 2022-12-14T12:29:27Z Reeder can be the front-end for: Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler, FeedHQ, NewsBlur, The Old Reader, Inoreader, BazQux Reader, FreshRSS, Instapaper and Pocket. Plus locally stored feeds on your phones. And self hosted options Fresh RSS and Reader.

Fluent Reader only looks good --- ## Post 9 by @hk8s9lj9 — 2022-12-19T04:42:16Z I really like Fluent Reader, one of the readers recommended by PG. Works great and is easy to configure. --- ## Post 10 by @vicky — 2022-12-19T06:03:04Z Newsblur is real good, and its open source, so you can self host it. --- ## Post 11 by @dngray — 2023-02-18T05:36:31Z Feedbin and Newsblur look to be polished apps that were mentioned > [![](//forum-uploads.privacyguidesusercontent.com/original/1X/b0508646f1d690f81831104a0e182c9f420289ee.png) NylaTheWolf](https://github.com/NylaTheWolf) [Jun 19, 2022](https://github.com/orgs/privacyguides/discussions/91#discussion-4156452) > Both [Feedbin](https://github.com/feedbin/feedbin) and [Newsblur](https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur) are open-source RSS readers and I think they would fit perfectly on here. I use both and I really like them. > > Feedbin is a paid service for $5 a month or $50 a year. It’s web-based but plenty of RSS clients like NetNewsWire or Reeder support it. I know some people have tried self-hosting it, and someone made a Docker version of it, but the dev explicitly says on the Github page that he wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a very nice reader, though, and the API is fantastic. Support is great too! There _is_ an iOS app but it hasn’t been updated in a while. It does run quite well on mobile in the browser. > > Newsblur is a freemium service. The premium version is $36 a year and offers extra features like search, Twitter and Reddit support, unlimited feeds, and viewing saved stories under a tag. It’s web-based but also has an iOS/iPad and Android app. I know the iOS app gets updated fairly often. Like with Feedbin, it’s supported by other RSS clients including the aforementioned NNW and Reeder. The Github Read Me page has a lot of information on how to self-host Newsblur. > > I think both of these apps deserve a spot on Privacy Guides. What do you think? These might be worth testing, particularly if we get started on: > > > I think we have a consensus on adding this page to our knowledge base: > > > A page… in the knowledge base _about_ self-hosting as mentioned at https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/discussions/1677#discussioncomment-3449047 could make sense, if we presented it as "these are the considerations and risks to self-hosting" objectively, without passing judgement on whether or not people should self-host things (which I think we should leave as a decision to the reader). > > _Originally posted by @jonaharagon in https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/discussions/1677#discussioncomment-3451852_ --- ## Post 12 by @anon21489307 — 2023-11-07T05:46:36Z I subscribe to RSS feeds using Brave News. But it’s not a reader and still unable to sync across devices, see **[issue #23054](https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/23054)**. If I need an RSS reader, **[NewsFlash](https://gitlab.com/news-flash/news_flash_gtk)** seems to be the most promising one (I like the UI). On Android, [**Read You**](https://github.com/Ashinch/ReadYou#read-you) would be my choice. Edit: It seems both NewsFlash and Read You can sync through Fever, but I haven’t tried it yet. Edit2: They can’t be sync together, as Fever sync is deprecated in Read You, I just tried it. **[FreshRSS](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS)** sync is planned in Read You, but the option is not selectable yet. --- ## Post 13 by @trkp2 — 2023-11-12T09:00:12Z I use Inoreader which syncs across devices. Feedbin does it too I think. OpenRSS has [a page](https://openrss.org/rss-feed-readers) that recommends RSS readers in a comparison table. --- ## Post 14 by @anon72670793 — 2023-11-13T14:50:20Z If you don’t want to go the self hosting route then I highly recommend [Newsblur](https://newsblur.com/). Sync for a low price and is [open source](https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur). I think it would make a good option for someone that just wants a one click solution to RSS feeds. I know this will be a controversial pick but Brave News allows adding RSS feeds and it does sync with the Brave Sync feature. I used to use them for just local news. --- ## Post 15 by @ph00lt0 — 2023-11-13T16:58:39Z Sync in Read You has been planned for a decade. Really hope it will ever see the light or to find a better alternative. The app self is amazing. --- ## Post 16 by @Anonymous235 — 2024-12-10T18:02:49Z I have been looking exactly for that too, at first I thought Thunderbird could sync to android or send them to mail. 1+ for tiny player trying that out asap But I’d also recommend rsshub, they provide integration for a lot of rss readers, being able to sub to rss readers (like tiny tiny) with a click of a button. [https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub-Radar](https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub-Radar) I think sending rss to email would have been the easiest, but i couldn’t find anything for that, but I’ll open up a new post for that! Edit: nvm tiny tiny has that --- ## Post 17 by @dada_goose — 2026-07-13T13:53:32Z FeedZero RSS [https://www.feedzero.app/](https://www.feedzero.app/) Just wanted to put this out there as I’ve really enjoyed using this in the browser recently. Open source, seems like quite a generous free tier, E2EE and claims no tracking. --- ## Post 19 by @rbird2 — 2026-07-16T21:25:17Z > [@Gunther](#): > > Privacy Guides has a list of recommended RSS reader software [https://www.privacyguides.org/news-aggregators/](https://www.privacyguides.org/news-aggregators/) When I click on the link provided I get “404”. It appears the correct link is: > **[News Aggregators - Privacy Guides](https://www.privacyguides.org/en/news-aggregators/)** > > These news aggregator clients let you keep up with your favorite blogs and news sites using internet standards like RSS. --- ## Post 20 by @PaleCrow55 — 2026-07-16T21:53:49Z I’ve been using `bulletty` recently; it’s a pretty nice TUI feed reader. > **[GitHub - crocidb/bulletty: bulletty is a pretty feed reader for the terminal...](https://github.com/CrociDB/bulletty)** > > bulletty is a pretty feed reader for the terminal that stores the articles as Markdown --- ## Post 21 by @Sorge — 2026-07-17T17:09:56Z pretty happy with [miniflux.app](https://miniflux.app/) --- ## Post 22 by @breezyduck — 2026-07-18T18:21:53Z Regarding TUI feed readers, I did try newsboat a long time ago since it was on PG recommendation list. But trying to group the feeds into categories/tags with the query feeds was really tedious and awkward. Although I recently found [newsraft](https://codeberg.org/newsraft/newsraft) which has been much easier to categorize feeds and configure while still having a similar UI to newsboat.
