Unfortunately it crashes a lot when I refresh my feeds and it’s too frequently to keep using it.

#Readkit vs reeder for mac#

I bought ReadKit for Mac a while ago as it supports Pinboard and the Fever API and would collect all my unread items in one neat and native app. If you are only interested in iOS apps for iPhone and iPad and don’t need an app for macOS there’s a good selection of reviews and articles over at ( Fiery Feeds, The RSS revival, lire) RSS feed readers for macOS ReadKit There’s a big selection of very polished and feature-rich apps for iOS but the counterpart for macOS seems to be missing. What mostly sparked my blog post was that the two apps which looked most promising seem to have been abandoned or buggy to the degree that they are unusable. Optional: Bonus points if there’s also an app for iOS.There are not that many great feed readers for macOS right now that work with the Fever API and have the Look & Feel of a native Mac app and I’m hoping that I missed one that matches my criteria: Preferably I like to have a native app that I can maximize without being stuck in a browser window surrounded by distractions but that’s where the problems start: The web interface is fast, easy to use and the author is rightly opinionated on keeping it that way. Miniflux itself doesn’t provide any mobile or native apps and only lives in your browser. This makes it very easy to use your favorite app and keep it in sync with your Miniflux instance. That API format is supported by a lot of apps across platforms. It deals with periodically fetching all your feeds and providing an API based on the Fever “standard”. The ones I used most are NewsNetWire (Mac and iOS), Reeder (Mac and iOS), Newsbeuter (Terminal based), Miniflux (Web) and recently also ReadKit (Mac).įirst step of rebooting my RSS setup was to set up my favorite self-hosted RSS reader Miniflux. Recently, mostly after being annoyed by algorithmically sorted news feeds everywhere, I decided to get back in the game.Īs a huge fan of RSS feeds I tested my way through a bunch of RSS readers over the years. I slowly stopped looking at them before abandoning the idea completely and moving the apps into some subfolder on the 7th page of the home screen. I stopped using an RSS feed reader for a while because at some point my inbox got a bit out of hand by having too many unread items piled up.
