Leggo vs Riffle

Leggo — Feeds, simplified. Leggo is a fast, focused RSS reader for people who miss the open web. Follow the sites, blogs, and podcasts you care about — no algorithm, no ads, no noise. Just your feeds, beautifully presented. Built entirely in SwiftUI with a modern Liquid Glass design, Leggo feels right at home on the latest iOS while staying quick and lightweight. Follow anything Add any RSS, Atom, or JSON feed by URL. Leggo parses and refreshes them automatically, so new articles are always ready when you open the app. Stay organized with tags Tag your feeds and articles however makes sense to you, then filter instantly to find what you're looking for — no folders, no rigid hierarchy. Read, distraction-free Articles open in a clean, formatted view built for reading — not for chasing links around the web. Pull to refresh, mark everything as read with one tap, and keep an unread badge on your home screen so you always know what's new. Sync across your devices Turn on iCloud sync and your feeds and read/unread state follow you from iPhone to iPad automatically — or keep everything local if you'd rather not sync at all. Your choice, in Settings. Your data, your control Export your entire feed list as JSON for backup, or import it to move between devices — no lock-in, ever. Light, dark, or system Choose the look that fits your day, with full support for Light and Dark appearance. No accounts. No tracking. No subscriptions buried in a paywall. Leggo just reads feeds — the way it should be.

Riffle is an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It keeps your reading on your device and syncs it with a server you choose — or with no server at all. OFFLINE FIRST Articles download as they arrive, so your unread list works on a flight, on the metro, and anywhere the signal gives out. Marking something read or starring it works offline too: those actions queue up and reach your server the moment you are back, in the order you made them. Nothing is lost because you were in a tunnel. WORKS WITH YOUR SERVER Connect FreshRSS, Miniflux or Feedbin, or any server that speaks the Fever or Google Reader API. Subscriptions, folders, read state and stars stay in step across every device you read on. Credentials go to your server and nowhere else. OR NO SERVER AT ALL Riffle can fetch feeds itself, with no account and nothing in between. Paste a website and it finds the feed. YouTube channels, subreddits, GitHub releases and Medium writers work as they are. BUILT FOR READING A reader view set in Apple's New York serif, with the face, size and line width under your control. Feeds that publish only a summary can be opened in full. Swipe to mark read or to star, search everything you have downloaded, and switch between the article, the full text and the live page whenever you want. DRIVEN FROM THE KEYBOARD Vim-style keys throughout: j and k to move, n for the next unread, s to star, m to toggle read, / to search, ? for the list. Menu commands and shortcuts on the Mac for everything else. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Widgets for your unread count and your newest articles. Share a page from Safari and Riffle finds the feed behind it. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No Riffle account and no Riffle server. No tracking, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party services. Passwords and API keys live in the Keychain, never in the database. Riffle talks to your server and to the sites you subscribe to, and to nothing else. POLITE TO YOUR SERVER Riffle will not poll more often than every fifteen minutes, whatever the settings say, and it never runs a full sync just to tell your server you read something. A self-hosted instance is usually one small machine, and it is treated like one. Native on all three platforms: three columns on Mac and iPad, a navigation stack on iPhone, and one library underneath them all.
