What you get
Keep up with your feeds and spend less time sorting articles.
With Fluent Reader, you can bring your RSS subscriptions into one desktop reading space and group them by topic. You can read full articles in the built-in view or choose to open their webpages by default. Dark mode and single-key shortcuts let you adjust how you read and move through your feeds.
You can narrow your reading list by read status or search articles using regular expressions. If you regularly skip certain topics or look for particular subjects, you can create rules that automatically hide, mark as read, or star matching articles as they arrive.
You can keep your reading local or sync with services such as Inoreader, Feedbin, and Miniflux, including compatible self-hosted options. When moving from another reader, you can import your subscriptions through OPML. You can also export them and back up or restore your full app data.
