NetNewsWire: Free and Open Source RSS Reader for Mac, iPhone, and iPad

It’s like podcasts — but for reading.

NetNewsWire is a free and open source RSS reader for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It shows you articles from your favorite blogs and news sites and keeps track of what you've read.

It's fast, stable, and accessible.

Instead of going from site to site in your browser looking for new articles — or relying on big tech social media and their algorithms — let NetNewsWire bring you the news you actually want.

It's easy and fun. And it puts you, not billionaires, in control of your news.

Things people say about NetNewsWire

It is fast, small, and remarkably stable. It looks and feels and acts exactly how a modern Mac app should — and at the same time it feels and acts exactly like the NetNewsWire of a decade ago.

John Gruber, Daring Fireball

I adore its simplicity, clarity, and speed.

Nick Heer, Pixel Envy

NetNewsWire is now my go to RSS Reader of choice on the iOS. I was truly amazed how accessible this app was right out of the box on its opening day.

Reviewer on AppleVis

NetNewsWire coming back to the scene is an important and notable step for the revival of the RSS ecosystem as we once knew it.
