Flit is a calm way to keep up with the sites you love. New articles arrive as a small deck of cards, and you go through them one at a time. Swipe right to keep one for later, swipe left to let it go, or tap to read it right away. Changed your mind? Undo is always one tap away. When the deck is empty, you're caught up. 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 bring all your subscriptions from another reader with an OPML file. You can export them again whenever you like. READ WITHOUT THE CLUTTER Articles open in a clean reader with the text size you prefer. Everything you saved waits in your Library, sorted into Unread, Later and Read, and you can search all of it. WIDGETS Keep the latest headlines or your Read Later list on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, in every size, including the new tall widget. QUICK SUMMARIES On supported devices, Flit can give you a short summary of an article, generated on the device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your subscriptions and reading stay on your iPhone, and Flit doesn't collect any data.
