## What is Tidings?

Tidings is an RSS reader built for people who want to read, not manage software.

Add a feed by pasting any site's URL — it finds the feed for you. Your articles land in one inbox, oldest first, and you triage them: read now, keep for later, star what matters, or sweep the rest away. Nothing is recommended to you, nothing is ranked by an algorithm, and nothing arrives that you didn't ask for.

READS BEAUTIFULLY
Articles are stripped to their text and images — no popups, no cookie banners, no newsletter modals. Adjustable type, light and dark, and it remembers exactly where you stopped reading, even after you change the font.

WORKS OFFLINE
Articles are downloaded and cached, so a subway ride or a flight is just reading time. Images come along too.

SYNCS PRIVATELY
Your feeds and reading state sync across your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud account. There is no server in the middle, because there is no server at all.

BRINGS YOUR FEEDS WITH YOU
Import an OPML file from any other reader, and export yours whenever you like. Your subscriptions are yours to take.

FEATURES
• Automatic feed discovery — paste a site URL, not a feed URL
• RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, and YouTube channels
• Distraction-free reader with full-text extraction
• Offline reading with cached text and images
• Inbox, Read Later, and Starred — triage with swipe gestures
• Mark Above as Read for fast sweeping
• Remembers your place in every list and article
• iCloud sync across your devices
• OPML import and export
• Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support
• iPhone and iPad

FREE FOR UP TO 10 FEEDS
Everything above is included — the reader, offline articles, iCloud sync, YouTube feeds, OPML import and export. Nothing is crippled, nothing expires, and there's no trial countdown. If you outgrow 10 feeds, Tidings Premium removes the limit for a single one-time payment. That's the only thing it changes.

NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNT. NO ANALYTICS. NO SUBSCRIPTION.
Tidings has no way to know what you read — it has no server to tell.
