lire vs Leaflet

Love RSS feeds? So do we!! RSS feeds are a great way to follow updates on your favorite website. However, some sites set up their feeds to only show a portion of each entry, you know, to get you to click through to their actual website. We find that really annoying, and we're sure you do too. Which is why, unlike other RSS feed readers, that either push you into a browser (in-app or otherwise), or depend on third party text parsing services and require you to be online to fetch the full text of one article at a time (which makes it no different from having to click/tap through to a website), in lire, you get your favorite RSS feeds as they should've been. You don't need to click through to any website (though, you do still have the option to, if you really wanted). It takes your favorite partial feeds, does its magic, and converts them in to full feeds, so you don't have to click/tap on those annoying 'Read more' or 'Continue reading' links. Once they're cached, you don't even need to be connected to read your full-text feeds. Use as a standalone feed reader, sync with iCloud, or, sync with any of the several services: Feedly, Feedbin, FeedHQ, The Old Reader, Inoreader, BazQux Reader, Newsblur, Feed Wrangler, FreshRSS, Miniflux, Nextcloud News, Tiny Tiny RSS.

Leaflet brings the news, blogs, websites, and podcasts you choose into one comfortable place. Read full articles without the clutter, turn your feeds into listening Shows, and save something for your next quiet moment or commute. FOLLOW YOUR SOURCES Add unlimited feeds by pasting a site or feed URL. Discover feeds from websites, YouTube channels, and Mastodon profiles, start with suggested sources, or import subscriptions with OPML. Organize feeds into folders, search your library, and keep track of unread stories. READ YOUR WAY Adjust type, spacing, and themes to make every article comfortable. Retrieve the full story when a feed includes only a preview, read cached articles offline, save stories to Read Later, and star favorites. Open article photos for a closer look, view supported embedded X posts, play inline videos, and return to an unfinished article with Pick up where you left off. TURN FEEDS INTO SHOWS Make a personal listening show from a site, folder, or mix of feeds. Each article becomes a chapter. Choose topics, filter unwanted stories, set the order, and resume where you left off. One Show is included free. Leaflet Plus adds unlimited Shows and Latest, a short catch-up of new unread articles. BUILD YOUR PODCAST LIBRARY Follow podcasts, organize Favorites and groups, and build an Up Next queue. Stream or download episodes, set download preferences for each podcast, and import or export subscriptions with OPML. Explore chapters and artwork, jump from timestamps in episode notes, share from the current time, and choose a playback speed or sleep timer. Shorten Silences can trim quiet pauses in downloaded episodes. FOLLOW ALONG WITH TRANSCRIPTS Read publisher transcripts as an episode plays and tap a line to jump to that moment. On supported devices running iOS 26 or macOS 26 or later, create transcripts on your device, with visible progress and optional automatic transcription for each podcast. LISTEN YOUR WAY Use standard article read aloud for free. With Leaflet Plus, save article audio to Listen Later for offline playback and enjoy natural English voices that run privately on your device. Plus adds background playback for saved article audio, podcasts, and videos. Keep listening with the screen locked or while using other apps. TAKE IT INTO CARPLAY With Leaflet Plus on iPhone, browse and play Shows, saved articles, and podcasts in CarPlay. Control playback, set a sleep timer, and save Show articles to Read Later. NEWSLETTERS IN YOUR READER With Leaflet Plus and a separate Feedbin subscription, read newsletters alongside your feeds, listen to their full text, or add them to a Show. AT HOME ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Read on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and iPhone Duo's folded, unfolded, and rotated views. On Apple Watch, check unread headlines and summaries, then mark stories read or starred. Use Leaflet without an account, sync your own feeds through iCloud, or connect a supported RSS service. iCloud library sync keeps eligible saved articles, Shows, reading and article-listening progress, smart feeds, and more together across devices. Library sync is automatic with iCloud RSS; Feedbin users can enable it in Accounts settings. On-device RSS libraries stay local.
