Rock solid sync, works in the best RSS clients out there, and a few other clever things.
Bring Your Own App
Thanks to open industry standards (remember those?), Birchfeed probably works in the RSS app you already use. If your app shows a Google Reader, FreshRSS, or Fever option, you're in! These are the ones it's tested with, and what to pick in each.
Add Birchfeed as an account in your reader and choose the option shown here. The web reader is built in, with nothing to set up.
In Reeder Classic, choose
