Lume by Frido vs Flowist

Follow news websites and blogs in one calm RSS feed reader. Lume brings the sources you choose together, with no account to create, no tracking, and no algorithmic recommendations. YOUR SOURCES, TOGETHER Add a website or feed address, or follow sources directly from Safari. Keep news, independent blogs, and compatible public feeds from YouTube, Reddit, Substack, and more in one place. Public feed availability depends on the publisher; paid and private content still requires access. READ WITHOUT THE CLUTTER Open stories in a clean reader view when the website supports it. Organize sources into categories and choose the feed layout that suits the way you read. HEADLINES IN YOUR LANGUAGE Turn on automatic headline translation for the sources you choose.
