Feedstand is a private RSS and news feed reader for iPhone and iPad. Follow your favourite websites and blogs in one chronological reading list, or save a single webpage to read later. Add any site and Feedstand finds its feed. No algorithm decides what you see, and nothing is ranked, promoted, or injected. You get every article from the sites you chose, newest first, and that is it. What you get: • A clean reader. Articles are stripped back to just the words and pictures, set in a typeface built for reading. Adjust the font, width, and theme to suit you, or switch to sepia for the evening. • Full-text articles. When a feed gives you only a summary, Feedstand can fetch the whole piece so you never have to leave for the browser. • Listen to anything. Tap play and Feedstand reads an article aloud, so you can carry on while you cook, walk, or commute. • Filters that actually help. Mute words you are tired of, keep only what matters from a noisy feed, star matching articles automatically, or get a notification the moment a topic you care about appears. • Quiet by default. Notifications fire only for the feeds and phrases you choose. No badges you did not ask for. • Widgets. Put your unread count, latest headlines, or starred articles on your Home Screen. • Yours to keep. Everything lives on your device. Import and export OPML, back up your whole library, and sync with your own Fever or Miniflux server if you run one. There are no accounts, and no servers of ours in between. Feedstand is a reader, not a feed. Follow what you like, and read it in peace. Questions about Feedstand: Can I save a webpage without subscribing to its feed? Yes.
