AiryFeed is a fast RSS reader for iPhone, built around on-device AI. Subscribe to your favorite blogs, news sites, and publications, then read everything in one clean, distraction-free place. AiryFeed parses feeds right on your device and pulls articles into a focused reader view, so you get the words without the clutter. What makes AiryFeed different is on-device AI. Summaries are generated locally using Apple Intelligence — the article text used for a summary never leaves your iPhone and is never sent to a server. Get the gist of a long read in seconds, with no AI paywall and no cloud processing. FEATURES • On-device AI summaries — catch up on long articles instantly. The text is processed entirely on your iPhone. • Clean reader view — distraction-free reading with comfortable typography. • Organize with folders — group feeds the way you think. • Read & star — track what you've read and save the articles that matter. • Full-text search — find any article across your subscriptions. • Offline reading — your library is cached on device, so it just works on the subway or a plane. • Sync across devices — pick up right where you left off. No account or sign-up required. • Built for iOS — a native SwiftUI app designed for iPhone. ON-DEVICE AI, PRIVATE BY DESIGN AiryFeed's summarization runs entirely on your device. The article text it reads stays on your iPhone — it is never uploaded for processing. That's the whole point: powerful AI without handing your reading over to a server. AiryFeed is free, supported by a single unobtrusive banner ad. Personalized ads use your device's advertising identifier only with your permission (you'll be asked, and you can decline). Add your first feed and start reading smarter today.

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 * Listen to articles, or get a summary made on your iPhone * Starter packs of feeds to follow * Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets THE STASH * Save links, notes and pictures from any app * Save from Shortcuts and Siri * 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FeedStash at none against AiryFeed's shown. FeedStash also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
