What's New in Unread

5.1

October 8, 2026

Unread 5.1 adds these improvements and more: • Syncing with Birchfeed, a new web-based RSS reader and syncing service. • A Quick Reads article Action SYNCING WITH BIRCHFEED This update adds the ability to sync with Birchfeed accounts. Birchfeed is a great new web-based RSS reader and syncing service by Matt Birchler. Unread syncs with Birchfeed using its implementation of the Google Reader API. It was already possible to sync with Birchfeed using its implementation of the Fever API, but using a Birchfeed account adds these capabilities: • The ability to subscribe to feeds, organize feed subscriptions, and unsubscribe from feeds from within Unread. • The ability to subscribe to feeds using the Subscribe in Unread share sheet extension. • The ability to mark read on scroll. • The ability to mark all articles above or below a specific article in an article list as read. QUICK READS ARTICLE ACTION This update adds an article action for Quick Reads. Quick Reads is a read later service, also by Matt Birchler, with great capabilities such as text to speech and highlighting. Unread’s article action makes it easy to save an article or a link inside an article to Quick Reads. Like Unread’s other premium article actions, the Quick Reads article action requires a subscription to Unread Premium. ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS • Unread’s Instapaper article action now uses version 2 of the Instapaper API. • This update fixes a bug that prevented article list images from loading for some articles in FreshRSS accounts and Inoreader accounts. • This update removes the “us.inoreader.com” and “jp.inoreader.com” options for the Inoreader Host (under Advanced Settings). Inoreader deprecated those hosts, and is going to redirect them to “www.inoreader.com”. • Unread’s privacy policy has been updated with a link to the privacy policies of Birchfeed and Quick Reads.

Best RSS reader by far

I’ve used a ton of RSS readers and so far I’ve found Unread to be the best in my opinion. It does exactly what a great Mac app should do - gets out of your way and lets you focus on reading. Highly recommended!

Amazing

Best RSS Reader I have found so far. Only gripe, a very trivial one at that, is I can’t seem to find how to change the font both in the article and outside. Otherwise, this is amazing.

A perfect RSS reader for me

I landed on Unread after trying a number of RSS readers out there. There are lot of features that are provided - some more that I hope will come (font customization) - such as sync options, shortcuts/gestures. Most importantly, the fast feed updates, icloud syncs work in favour of this app. I also have been able to get responses from the dev for problems and on suggestions too. look forward to a long relationship with unread. Finally I am very happy that the app has regional pricing parity which makes it affordable though it (unfortunately) is a subscription mode.
