About Reeder
Reeder by Silvio Rizzi has been a favourite RSS app on iPhone, iPad and Mac for over 15 years. The current Reeder was rebuilt as an inbox for reading, watching and listening: RSS feeds, YouTube videos, podcasts and social media posts flow into a single timeline, and instead of unread counts it syncs your position across devices through iCloud. Filters create custom timelines by keyword or media type, links can be saved with the share extension, and any tag can become a public JSON feed. The previous app remains available as Reeder Classic, a traditional RSS reader and read-later client with a built-in iCloud feed service and support for Feedbin, Feedly, NewsBlur, The Old Reader, Inoreader, BazQux, FreshRSS and Instapaper. Reeder collects no data. It is sold through the App Store and runs only on Apple devices. People who rely on unread counts or third-party sync often prefer Reeder Classic or another app.
Best for: Apple users who want a beautiful, unified timeline of feeds, videos and posts.
