RSS24 is a clean, smart RSS reader built around one idea: show you the latest news from the last 24 hours, with the most worth-reading stories first. Subscribe to your favorite news sources and blogs via RSS feeds. Pick from our curated catalog or add your own feed in seconds. Choose how you want to read — let RSS24 surface the standout stories first, or stick to a strict newest-on-top timeline. Either way, articles older than 24 hours fade away automatically so you never wade through stale headlines. What makes RSS24 different: • Two ways to read — Switch between "Top Picks" and "Latest" anytime. Top Picks ranks today's best stories first using a smart algorithm; Latest is pure newest-first chronological order. • Fresh-first feed — Articles from today always sit above yesterday's, organized into clean Today / Yesterday / older sections. • Read it, lose it — Once you've opened an article, it stays put for the rest of your session and quietly disappears on the next refresh, so your feed never feels stale. • Swipe to dismiss — Not interested? Swipe an article right-to-left to remove it. Quick swipe reveals a delete button; long swipe removes it instantly. • Tag-based filtering — Tag your feeds by topic and filter the timeline with one tap. • Quick onboarding — Get started in three easy steps: pick a theme, choose recommended feeds from a curated catalog, and add your own RSS source if you have one (or skip and add it later). • Reduce Noise — Optional toggle that hides very short or low-quality posts and limits how many items each source can flood your feed with. • Full article reader — Read full content without leaving the app, with reader-mode styling that respects your theme. Tap to open the original in a clean built-in browser. • Themes and text size — Light, dark, and sepia themes plus adjustable text size. • Personalization that respects you — RSS24 quietly learns which tags and sources you read most so Top Picks gets sharper over time. All of that history stays on your device — no accounts, no tracking, no ads. Delete the app and it's gone.
