Clean Express is a modern Usenet (NNTP) client for Apple platforms. Read threads, download attachments, and post articles in one focused workflow. Connect with confidence - Add one or more NNTP servers with Plaintext, STARTTLS, or SSL/TLS (Implicit). - Review self-signed certificate fingerprints and choose whether to trust them. - Store server credentials securely in Keychain-backed storage. Stay on top of busy groups - Browse server groups, search and manage subscriptions, and filter your sidebar. - Sync thread headers with incremental progress updates. - Sort by recent activity or original post, then filter by All, Unread, or Threads with Unread. - Expand or collapse branches, watch threads, and move quickly with keyboard or swipe navigation. - Mark messages, threads, or full visible ranges as read. Work with attachments - Preview supported attachments inline, including text, images, and PDFs where available. - Decode common Usenet binary content, including yEnc and uuencode payloads. - Add large downloads to a dedicated queue with staged progress, retry/cancel, and clear-completed actions. - Save completed downloads to files, with queue state restored after relaunch. Compose and post without losing your place - Create new posts and replies with quote-aware reply context. - Keep drafts automatically and resume after relaunch. - Add attachments from the file picker or drag and drop. - Choose MIME, yEnc, or uuencode posting formats based on server or community preferences. - Send in the background with visible posting progress. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.5 — 2026-03-24 • Catch up on busy threads faster with a focused unread mode that keeps the root message and replies in view. • Spot unread messages more easily with stronger highlights and smoother read-state updates while you scroll. • Open long conversations faster with earlier body loading and improved compatibility with stricter NNTP servers. • Scan message details more comfortably with a cleaner, more unified layout for bodies, metadata, and attachments. • Refreshing groups and syncing threads now feel quicker and smoother. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-03-22 • Replying to cross-posted articles now carries the original newsgroups into the composer, so you can answer the full conversation more easily. • New posts and replies now show selected newsgroups as editable tokens, making it easier to add or remove cross-post targets before sending. • Multi-group posts now normalize the Newsgroups header before sending, which keeps cross-posts cleaner and more consistent across NNTP servers. • Message details now show the full Newsgroups header alongside the current group, so it is easier to see everywhere an article was posted. • Selecting a thread root now opens the full cached conversation in the thread reader, so it is easier to follow replies in context. • The thread reader now shows reply actions inside the conversation, so you can answer a specific message without backing out to a separate detail view. • Scrolling and body loading in long threads now feel smoother, and swipe-to-mark-read actions do less work while you browse. • On Mac, attachments can now be saved straight to Downloads from the attachment list and the download queue, with automatic numbered copies to avoid overwriting an existing file. • Toolbar spacing is now cleaner around Drafts, Reply, Get More, and thread navigation, so the main actions are easier to scan while you browse. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-03-16 • Reply compose now opens with the body ready to type on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so you do not have to tap back into the editor first. • Long quoted replies stay pinned in the right place when the composer opens on iPhone and iPad instead of jumping away from the quote. • Reply text now uses the same body styling as the reader, making quotes and plain text easier to scan while you write. • Replies now handle unusual NNTP line endings correctly, so every quoted line keeps its quote marker instead of only the first line. • Typing in the reply editor is more stable during live restyling, which reduces lost focus and cursor jumps while you compose. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-03-10 • Message detail screens are easier to read, with clearer metadata summaries and better attachment presentation. • Message list swipe actions now separate message-level and thread-level read controls, so it is easier to mark exactly what you meant. • Reply rows now expose thread actions in their menus, so you can manage the whole thread without backing out to the root message. • On iOS, the post composer now stays aligned with the keyboard while you type, which keeps the editor easier to use on smaller screens. • Reply sheets are cleaner and more native, including removing the extra In-Reply-To row from reply composition. ### 1.0 — 2026-03-10 No release notes. ## More apps by Cleanbit, MB - [The Business Card](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-business-card/id1604190072) - [Too Many Records!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/too-many-records/id6449257927) - [Secret Inbox](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/secret-inbox/id6462335670) - [Laima - Laboratory Assistant](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/laima-laboratory-assistant/id6502410836) - [Zippy Tools: Utility Toolkit](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zippy-tools-utility-toolkit/id6758775310) All apps by Cleanbit, MB: https://appshunter.io/developer/1604190074 ## Related topics [clean express](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/clean-express) · [rymnet](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/rymnet) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
