Too many feeds to read? PoweReader is an RSS reader for iPhone and Mac with AI summaries, translation and audio: get through the news worth reading in minutes, get any article's key points in one tap, read foreign articles with a translation under each paragraph, and listen when you can't look at the screen. It works with your Feedbin, Miniflux, FreshRSS, NewsBlur, Tiny Tiny RSS or Fever account. DAILY PICKS No more scrolling through every feed: in a few minutes you know what has been happening. Open Discover and AI picks the stories worth reading, each with a summary, key developments, what each source says and the articles that cover it. You can also listen to it as a briefing. AI SUMMARY For an article you only want to skim, one tap gives you a summary with the key points in seconds, plus a picture that explains it. You can also summarize a category, a feed or the unread list. The list summary is split by topic, and you can tap any link to open the article. AUDIO SUMMARY When you can't look at the screen, let AI read the summary aloud. Playback starts a few seconds after you tap play. TRANSLATION Foreign articles are translated paragraph by paragraph, with the translation under each original paragraph. Choose cloud AI translation, Apple Translate or offline translation. YOUR OWN AI SERVICE With Premium, connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter or another compatible service and use your own API key for summaries, images and translation. RSS SERVICES AND FEEDS Sign in with Feedbin, NewsBlur, Miniflux, FreshRSS, Tiny Tiny RSS or any Fever API server, and unread and starred articles sync both ways. Or start right away with the built-in local account, no sign-up needed: the Feed Library has 130+ feeds by topic, or paste any feed address. ICLOUD SYNC Reading progress syncs between iPhone and Mac, so you pick up where you left off.
