One calm feed reader for every RSS and Atom source you care about. Paste a link and Tidings pulls in the blogs, news sites and podcasts you follow, so the whole open web lands in a single, quiet timeline instead of scattered across a dozen apps and inboxes. No algorithm decides what you see. You choose the sources, group them into your own categories, and read them in order — full articles, picture posts and podcast episodes side by side, in a distraction-free reader that strips away the clutter of the original page and respects Dark Mode. WHAT YOU GET - Follow any RSS or Atom feed just by pasting its URL — blogs, magazines, newsrooms and creators - One timeline that merges articles, picture posts and podcast episodes from every source you follow - A clean reader view with proper typography, images and links — no clutter, no popups - A built-in podcast player with variable speed (0.8x to 2x), skip, scrub and lock-screen controls - Star posts to save them for later, plus Unread and Starred smart lists so nothing slips past - Fetched posts stay readable offline, and a three-pane iPad layout with swipe-to-star and swipe-to-read PERFECT FOR - News readers who want headlines from their own trusted sites, not an algorithm's feed - Podcast listeners who'd rather subscribe by feed than hunt through a directory - Writers and researchers tracking blogs and publications in one place - Anyone escaping social scrolling who wants to choose their own sources WHY NOT JUST USE A BROWSER? Bookmarks go stale and you have to check every site by hand. Here each source refreshes on its own, unread counts tell you what's new, and articles and episodes sit side by side in one timeline you actually finish. PRIVACY Your feeds, categories and starred posts stay on your device. No account to create, no ads, no reading history sold, no tracking of what you open. FULL ACCESS Tidings unlocks with a single membership that opens unlimited feeds, the full reader, offline reading and the podcast player. Choose the plan that fits: a Weekly or Yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings. Add your first feed today and bring the whole open web into one calm place.
