## What is Gather?

Read what you choose, without turning every subscription into another inbox.

Gather is an RSS and Atom reader built around your sources. Follow trusted publications, blogs, and independent sites. No Gather account is required.

A feed that fits you
Use Browse for a relaxed chronological stream and Keep up for the few sources you want to finish. Group coverage of the same story, discover new sources, and organize focused views.

Comfortable reading
Open clean reader views when available or switch to the publisher’s live page. Adjust type and appearance, save favorites, search downloaded articles, and prepare a reading queue for offline use. Listen to articles and translate supported text on your device after a language pack downloads.

Summaries, your choice
Get a plain title and five clear points in the standard summary style, or choose another summary voice. Optional cloud summaries send the article title and text through CodeNest’s service on Cloudflare and OpenRouter only after you explicitly allow them in Settings. Turn them off anytime. On-device summaries remain available with Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones or a downloaded model.

Keep your data
Subscriptions, reading history, and saved articles live on your device. Article titles, text, links, sources, searches, and topics are excluded from analytics. Import and export subscriptions with OPML, make a Gather backup, or use optional sync with iCloud.

Core reading and offline tools do not require a subscription. A one-time purchase removes in-feed sponsored cards. Supporting Gather is optional and does not unlock core reading features.

Publisher sites, paywalls, and JavaScript-heavy pages can limit extraction. Gather offers retries or a live-page fallback when a clean view is unavailable.

More reliable offline page saving and article translation, with better cleanup when you leave a story or put Gather in the background. Folder dialogs and source controls also work better with larger text sizes. You can also rate Gather from Settings and choose during setup whether to share usage analytics.

A calmer start: the welcome screen asks nothing and lets you pick light or dark mode and an accent color. Coverage of the same story is grouped from the first minute, unrelated stories are no longer lumped together, and accented letters in previews display correctly. The morning brief card is now optional in Settings.

### 1.0.9 — 2026-10-09

187 more RSS feeds to discover, including independent blogs and new regional lists for Germany, France, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.

- Make your own folders to group sources.
- A simpler welcome and a reworked Sources screen.
- Send feedback from inside the app.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-06

What's new in 1.0.7:

- Rename a source from its menu on the Sources tab: press and hold the source.
- Ads load more reliably and only while they're on screen.
- The reader switches to the full article as soon as it's ready, instead of staying on the feed's preview.
- Crash reports help us find and fix problems faster.
