Tribb vs Riff

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. Publisher webpages can contain ads and tracking.

One card, one second: you read it or you skip it. Riff is an RSS and news reader with no account, no ads and no tracking, with an AI summary on request. Keeping up with the news shouldn’t mean opening twenty links and stacking tabs. Riff shows you the stories from your sources one at a time, full screen: the headline, the picture, the gist. Interested? Read it right here. Not? Swipe. YOUR SOURCES, YOUR PACE • More than 1,000 sources in French and English, switched on in one tap • Paste the address of a site or an RSS feed to add your own • Import your subscriptions from another RSS reader with an OPML file: folders become categories • Playlists: your categories grouped under the name you like, up to 10 • For You: a feed composed on your iPhone from your reading, with “fewer stories like this” one tap away • Subject: tap it to find the articles that talk about the same subject, in your sources and beyond The article’s text shows in the app when the publisher makes it freely available. If it is for subscribers only, Riff shows the excerpt and the link: it never gets around a paywall. AN AI SUMMARY, ONE TAP AWAY Tap the Riff logo: Apple Intelligence writes a short summary above the article, on your iPhone. Nothing is summarized unless you ask, and the text you read stays the publisher’s. It needs a device that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later), with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings. Without it, everything else works. LISTEN (experimental) Riff reads the article aloud, in French or English, with the voices of your device: the text is sent nowhere. Controls on the lock screen, with headphones and in the car. You need an enhanced or premium voice installed in Settings. ON IPHONE DUO Opened and in landscape, the list of articles and the article sit side by side. Swipe from one article to the next, and your watchlist opens on the left. Closed or in split screen, the buttons and the action bar stand down the side. WATCHLIST AND WIDGETS • Keep an article in one tap, with its text and its summary: it opens even offline • Widgets in three sizes on the home screen, and on the lock screen with the number of articles left to read NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING Riff has no account and no server: your device fetches articles directly from the publishers. Your sources, settings and reading history stay on your iPhone and, unless you turn sync off, in your private iCloud. Export the sources you added yourself (OPML) to open them in another RSS reader. Riff is free, with no subscription and no in-app purchase. Articles belong to their publishers: Riff sends you to the source and is not affiliated with any of them.
