Read what you want, how you want. Follow the sources you choose, at your own pace. Your news. Your rules. No algorithm. Read the way you want - Supports RSS, Atom and JSON feeds - Browse a clean article list you can tailor: layout (Grouped or Plain), density (Comfortable or Compact), thumbnail size, favicon, unread dot and preview lines (0–6) - Read in the offline preview or the built-in reader (picking font and text size), or open it in your browser - Smart feeds keep the most relevant articles front and centre: Today, Last 24 / 48 / 72 hours, Last 7 days (a rolling week) and This week (from the start of the current week to now) - Build your own Custom Smart Feeds: keyword-based feeds that gather matching articles, or mute keywords to hide the ones you don't want to see - Looking for something you recently read? Read History is a smart feed too — see only what you actually opened, or everything marked as read, with a toggle to switch - Organise feeds into folders - Choose how each feed opens: as published (perhaps only the first paragraph), with the full article extracted automatically, or downloaded ahead of time so it's ready offline — set per feed, not as one global preference. It needs a connection to fetch, and not every site allows it. - Get a short AI summary of any article, generated entirely on your device (iOS 26 or later) — nothing leaves your phone. Stay in sync - iCloud keeps your feeds, folders and reading state in sync across your iPhone, iPad and Mac - Configure sync to happen automatically, on launch, or on resume — or trigger it manually with pull-to-refresh Make it yours - Choose your theme: Automatic, Light, Dark or Sepia - Configurable swipe actions, order and article retention rules - Import and export your subscriptions with standard OPML files - Search across all your articles instantly - Star articles to save them — starred items are never deleted by retention rules Newsairy Pro — a single, one-time purchase — removes the 6-feed limit (free accounts include up to 6 local and 6 iCloud feeds) and adds sync with TheOldReader, Feedbin, Inoreader, Miniflux and FreshRSS, bringing your existing subscriptions, read state, and starred articles with you. No subscription. Pay once, yours forever. No ads. No tracking. No third-party analytics. Newsairy is a young app built on solid foundations, and it's updated constantly — with new features regularly on the way. Requires iOS 18 or later. On Mac, requires macOS 15 or later and Apple silicon. iCloud sync requires an active iCloud account. TheOldReader, Feedbin, Inoreader, Miniflux and FreshRSS sync requires Newsairy Pro (and an account with these aggregators).
