## What is Astryn?

Astryn is a minimalist RSS reader for iPhone that puts you in control of your news — and your data.

Follow your favorite sources, organize them into custom groups, and use a powerful tag system to surface the stories you actually care about. All without giving up your privacy.

Your data stays on your device
Astryn is built entirely without third-party libraries or SDKs. No analytics. No tracking. No telemetry. Your feeds, your tags, and your reading habits are never sent anywhere — they live on your device and nowhere else.

- Zero third-party code — built from scratch with native Apple frameworks only
- No accounts, no sign-ups, no server connections beyond fetching your RSS feeds
- No data collection of any kind

Built for focused reading
Astryn is designed for people who want clarity instead of clutter. You choose the sources. You define the structure. Astryn helps you navigate large streams of articles with a lightweight, flexible model built around groups and tags — no algorithmic feeds, no engagement tricks.

Take control of your daily reading — privately — with Astryn.
