The RSS feeds you follow and the things you save for later, in one app, on a server you run yourself. FeedStash is the iPhone and iPad app for your own FeedStash server: free, open source, and one Docker container on a home server, NAS or VPS. Your feeds, saved pages and read state live there, not with us, so every device agrees. No account, no ads, no tracking. YOUR SERVER You need a FeedStash server to use this app. Setting one up takes one Docker command: github.com/LiftbridgeLabs/feedstash FEEDS * RSS and Atom feeds in folders, with unread counts * Swipe between articles, or jump to the next unread * Swipe to mark read, star or save to your stash * Mark read by age, with undo * Full articles for feeds that only send a summary * Offline reading, images included THE STASH * Save links, notes and pictures from any app * A readable copy of every saved page, even if the site goes away * Folders, tags and smart lists * List, grid or tiles * Search everything you've kept ON iPAD * A layout made for the bigger screen MAKE IT YOURS * Nine color schemes, light or dark * Three list spacings and adjustable text size The server also gives you a web app, and imports from OPML, Feedly and bookmark files.
