Flit is an RSS reader for the sites, blogs and podcasts you follow. Every new article lands in your Inbox as a card, and you go through them one at a time. Swipe right to save it for later, swipe left if it's not for you, or tap to read it now. Swiped the wrong way? Undo brings it back. No cards left means you've seen everything new. There's no algorithm deciding what you see. Flit works with RSS, the open format behind most blogs, news sites and magazines, so you follow exactly the sources you choose. FIND YOUR SOURCES Search for a site by name or topic, paste any web address, or move over from another reader: Flit brings your sources from Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, Feedbin and any app that exports OPML. DISCOVER The day's top stories from the countries you pick, by category, and a search across the news. Follow a source you like with one tap. READ WITHOUT THE CLUTTER Articles open in a clean reader with the text size you prefer. Select any passage to share it as a quote, or as a share card with the article's picture. Everything you keep waits in your Library, in Unread, Later, Saved and Read. Write a note on any saved article. READ ANYWHERE Download your Inbox, Later and Saved, text and pictures, to read on a flight or underground. VIDEOS AND PODCASTS Follow YouTube channels and podcasts next to your sites. They arrive as cards like everything else. YOUR RULES Block words or phrases, and articles with them in the title skip your Inbox. Organise your sources in folders, each with its own icon, colour and page. Get notified only for the folders or sources you care about. SUMMARIES Hold a card and Siri AI sums it up in a few lines, on the device. ON EVERY DEVICE iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, in step through iCloud Sync. On iPhone Duo, the Inbox and the article sit on either side of the fold. Widgets bring the latest headlines or your Read Later list to the Home Screen, the Lock Screen and StandBy. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your subscriptions and reading stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. Flit only sends anonymous usage statistics, which never include what you read.
