What's New in Unread

5.0.1

September 20, 2026

Unread recently added: • Huge improvements around hero images, article list thumbnails, and widget thumbnails • Syncing with FreshRSS and Miniflux • The ability to quickly mark old articles read This update adds these improvements: • This update fixes a layout bug that would occur on some newer devices. • This update adds modest improvements to article list thumbnails. Specifically, with this update Unread will avoid zooming in on a face or another subject so far that the resulting thumbnail ends up being grainy. When zooming in on a face or another subject, Unread will include a little more of the area around that subject in the thumbnail. • When Unread is unable to import feeds from an OPML file because of a problem with that file, Unread now shows a more descriptive error message. • This update fixes a bug that prevented images from appearing properly in widgets on macOS when the “Dim widgets on desktop” setting was enabled. • This update prevents Unread from offering to add a FreshRSS account from a Fever account under some specific circumstances where Unread can detect that the Fever account is not syncing with a FreshRSS server. If you enjoy using Unread, please consider subscribing to Unread Premium.

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.
