About Read You

Read You is an open-source Android feed reader designed around Google's Material You design language, so its colours follow your wallpaper and it feels at home on modern Android phones. You can keep feeds locally on the device or use existing accounts such as FreshRSS, Miniflux, Feedbin and servers that speak the Fever or Google Reader APIs. It offers a clean article list and reader view, full-content parsing for summary-only feeds, OPML import and export, and plenty of appearance options, with translations into many languages. It is free, has no ads and is licensed under the GPL, and it is distributed through GitHub releases and F-Droid. Development is community-driven and releases can be spaced out, and it is Android-only with no web or desktop companion.

Best for: Android users who want a good-looking free reader that syncs with self-hosted servers.
