Tribb is a calm RSS reader for iPhone and iPad. Follow the sources you choose and read them in one quiet place. The Reader shows your unread posts one at a time. Save a post, mark it as read, or choose Read at end to see it after everything else. Articles lists your Unread, All, and Saved posts. Articles open on the publisher’s own webpage, with native controls to save and summarize. Create an on-device Summary with Apple Intelligence when it is available. Tribb does not send article text to a third-party AI provider. Follow RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, podcasts, and supported video feeds. Start with suggested feeds, add a feed by its address, or import an OPML file. Export your feeds as OPML at any time. Listen with background audio, AirPlay, and system playback controls. Reading Stats shows your streak, best streak, a 24-week heatmap, and your most read feeds, counted on your device. Widgets show your unread count, newest headlines, and reading streak on the Home Screen. Streak widgets also work on the Lock Screen and in StandBy. Ask Siri what’s new in Tribb, save the article on screen, subscribe to the page you’re reading, or resume the last episode. The same actions work in Shortcuts. On iPad, Articles, Feeds, and Search show the list beside the article. Your library starts on this device. With private iCloud sync, your feeds, Saved posts, reading positions, and stats stay the same on your iPhone and iPad. Tribb requires no account and adds no ads, tracking, or third-party analytics.
