## What is :)ssue?

:)ssue is an RSS reader that behaves like a newspaper instead of a feed. It turns articles from the sites you follow into a morning and evening Daily edition, built around the delivery windows you choose.

A PAPER, NOT A STREAM
Every edition has a front page: a lead story, supporting stories, and sections by category. On a quiet day it is short. On a busy one it is long. Either way, it ends—and you are finished reading.

GROUPED BY STORY, SHAPED FOR YOU
The app analyzes articles on your device. It groups reports covering the same story into a single entry, organizes articles by category, and scores and arranges them to build each edition. As you read, it learns from the articles you open and those you mark Not for Me, so future editions gradually reflect what interests you. Related coverage stays close at hand, and you can adjust how the analysis works in Settings.

YOUR WAY OF READING
- Reader view for clean text, or the built-in browser for the full page
- Your own compatible Safari content-blocker list, loaded from a URL
- YouTube videos that play in place
- Article retention settings and an image cache you can inspect and clear

READ IT IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Set a source language for a feed and the app can translate its headlines and article text into your language. Translation uses Apple's system translation and the languages downloaded on your device, so you can follow sites you could not read before.

SUBSCRIPTIONS THAT STAY YOURS
Add an RSS, Atom, or JSON feed by entering its address, or paste a website URL and let the app find the feed for you. Import and export your subscriptions as OPML whenever you like. There is no account to create and no server run by us that synchronizes your reading. Your subscriptions and reading history are stored on your device.

AROUND THE SYSTEM
- Home Screen widgets for your latest edition
- Search from Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action button
- Subscribe to a page from Safari
- Add an article to a conversation from Messages
- Find articles with Spotlight, Siri, and Shortcuts
- Background refresh that helps prepare each edition before you open the app

MAKE IT YOURS
Adjust the analysis weights, set your morning and evening delivery windows, and use diagnostics when you want to look under the hood.

No ads. No subscription. No account. If you would like to support the work, you can leave a tip—a single payment that unlocks nothing.
