## What is Flux News Reader?

Flux News is a native IOS/MacOS client for your self-hosted Miniflux server. Built from the ground up for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, it brings the focus and polish of a great reading app to the open RSS ecosystem you already control.                                              

Connect once with a Miniflux API key and your feeds, folders, stars, and read state stay in sync across every device — no third-party cloud, no account to create, no telemetry.

READING, REIMAGINED
• Clean, distraction-free article view with optional full-content fetch                                        
• Newspaper layout for browsing, swipe layout for focused reading      
• Choose from a curated set of system and serif fonts — including New York, Georgia, Charter, Iowan, Palatino, and Baskerville                                                                                                  
• Light, dark, and warm Solarized themes that respect your typography                                          
• Inline YouTube embeds tap straight into the in-app browser                                                   

ON-DEVICE AI SUMMARIES                                
• On supported hardware, generate a quick bullet-point summary of any article using Apple Intelligence. Long reads are handled with a chunked map reduce pass, so even feature-length pieces summarize cleanly.
• Nothing leaves your device.                                                                                                                                                                                                                

LISTEN, DON'T JUST READ
• Read any article aloud with the system's high-quality voices. Pick your preferred voice in Settings and pause, resume, or stop from the article toolbar.                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                      
BUILT FOR EACH PLATFORM                               
• iPhone: swipe between articles, pull to refresh, tap to share                                                
• iPad: side-by-side split view, full keyboard support
• Mac: native menu bar, full keyboard shortcuts (←/→ to navigate, M to toggle read, B to bookmark, F to fetch full content, O to open in browser), resizable windows                                                            

YOUR FEEDS, YOUR SERVER                               
• Flux News is a client for Miniflux, a self-hosted RSS reader you run yourself or pay a small monthly fee for at miniflux.app. Bring your own server URL and API token, and you're done.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN                                     
• No analytics, no tracking, no ads
• No accounts beyond your own Miniflux server         
• Article summaries run on-device — text never leaves your phone, tablet, or Mac
• Open-source feed protocols — no lock-in             

REQUIREMENTS                                          
• A Miniflux server (self-hosted or miniflux.app subscription)                                                 
• iOS 17 / iPadOS 17 / macOS 14 or later              
• On-device AI summaries require iOS 26 / macOS 26 on an Apple Intelligence-capable device

 • Articles now render identically on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
