Take back control of what you see online. Social media feeds are often shaped by algorithms designed to maximise engagement. Instead of simply showing you the posts, pages and people you care about most, they can fill your screen with ads, recommendations, viral content and distractions that push your friends and favourite content out of sight. Friend Feed was built as a simple solution to that problem. Friend Feed is a focused browser and personal feed reader that lets you build your own feed from the pages, profiles, websites, blogs and social media accounts you actually want to visit. Instead of relying on an algorithm to decide what appears in front of you, Friend Feed puts you back in control. Add the URLs that matter to you, arrange them in the order you prefer, then move through them one at a time using a clean reader-style interface. Friend Feed is ideal for anyone who wants a calmer, more intentional way to browse the web, check social profiles, follow blogs, save useful sites, keep up with creators, or create a personal reading routine without being buried under irrelevant recommendations, ads and content designed only to keep you scrolling. With Friend Feed you can: *Save websites, pages and social profiles to your own custom feed. *Move through your feed using simple Next and Previous controls. *Reorder, edit or delete saved pages whenever you like. *Create a more personal browsing experience built around your interests. *Focus on friends, creators, blogs, communities, news sites and web pages you choose yourself. *Avoid endless scrolling and return to the online content that actually matters to you. Use Friend Feed as a curated reader for friends, creators, blogs, news sites, communities, research pages, inspiration sources, or any web content you want to revisit regularly. Friend Feed works like a specialized browser, giving you an easy way to save URLs and return to them in a structured, sequential feed. Whether you want a personal social feed, a focused web reader, a saved links browser, or a cleaner way to keep up with your favourite online pages, Friend Feed helps you browse with more control and less noise. Subscriptions and In-App Purchases Friend Feed includes optional subscriptions and in-app purchases that unlock unlimited URLs in your feed. Free users can add up to 7 URLs to their Friend Feed. Users who want more flexibility can upgrade through the available subscription or in-app purchase options to add an unlimited number of URLs, making it easy to build a complete personal feed for friends, social media, blogs, news, research, hobbies, creators, work links, inspiration and more. Payment for Friend Feed subscriptions will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your account settings on the App Store after purchase. Download Friend Feed today and start building a calmer, cleaner, more personal way to browse the web. Add the pages you care about, move through them at your own pace, and take control of your feed one URL at a time.
