About ReadKit
ReadKit is a long-running Mac and iOS app that brings feed readers and read-later services together. You can use its built-in RSS engine or connect accounts such as Feedbin, Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, The Old Reader, Miniflux, FreshRSS, BazQux, Tiny Tiny RSS and Fever, alongside Instapaper, Pinboard and wallabag, and read everything in one place with multiple accounts side by side. Smart folders update automatically from search criteria, a reader mode extracts full articles, and articles can be cached for offline reading. You can also subscribe to YouTube channels and playlists, organise subscriptions into folders and tags, and import or export OPML. It is a universal app with the same features on iPhone, iPad and Mac. The core app is free, and ReadKit Premium, sold as a subscription or lifetime purchase, unlocks extras. It suits people who use several services and want one Apple app for all of them.
Best for: Apple users juggling several feed and read-later services who want one app.
