Flit is an RSS reader for the sites, blogs and podcasts you follow. Every new article lands in your Inbox as a card, and you go through them one at a time. Swipe right to save it for later, swipe left if it's not for you, or tap to read it now. Swiped the wrong way? Undo brings it back. No cards left means you've seen everything new. There's no algorithm deciding what you see. Flit works with RSS, the open format behind most blogs, news sites and magazines, so you follow exactly the sources you choose. FIND YOUR SOURCES Search for a site by name or topic, paste any web address, or move over from another reader: Flit brings your sources from Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, Feedbin and any app that exports OPML.
