Flux News Reader vs Flux

Flux News is the native Miniflux reader for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Built entirely in SwiftUI — not a cross-platform port or web wrapper — it looks and feels at home on every Apple device, and brings a fast, focused reading experience to the self-hosted RSS server you already control. Connect once with your Miniflux server address and API key. Your feeds, folders, stars, and read state stay in sync across all your devices — no third-party cloud, no account to create, no tracking.
