RSS made by someone
obsessed with RSS.
Rock solid sync, works in the best RSS clients out there, and a few other clever things.
Bring Your Own App
If you like your RSS app, you can keep your RSS 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.
Reeder Classic
Choose Reader or FreshRSS, depending on the version you have. This is the reader Birchfeed is tested against most.
NetNewsWire
Choose FreshRSS when adding an account.
Current
Choose FreshRSS or Google Reader.
Unread
Choose Fever.
Web Reader
Built in, nothing to set up. A full three-pane reader in any browser.
Something Else?
Any app with a Google Reader, FreshRSS, or Fever option should work. Pick whichever one it offers.
*Okay, yeah, some apps don't support those, but the good ones do!
The News Stream
Big news day? Open a window and watch it roll in.
Open it up in a new window and watch the news of the day stream by in real time. Perfect for those big news days or the generally news-obsessed.
Daily Roundups
One email a day with what you missed.
Schedule a daily email that summarizes what happened while you were away. Schedule it for 6AM and wake up to what happened overnight, or make it 5PM and see what happened while you were working. It's always 100% personalized to you.
Automations
Simple rules that act on new articles the moment they arrive.
Get a push or an email when something you care about pops up, star it for later, or mark the noise as read so you never even see it. Rules can watch one feed, a folder, or everything you follow.
The Details
All the small things.
OPML Import and Export
Got feeds already? Bring them over! Ever want to leave? Take them with you.
Passkey-Only
Passkeys are more secure and impossible to forget. There's also 0% chance of me leaking a password if it never exists at all.
Keys You Control
Each reader app gets its own key, revocable on its own, with a last-used date so you can see what is still connected.
Starred Means Kept
Old articles age out on a schedule to keep things fast. Anything you star is kept for good.
Open to Developers
A documented Reader API, so any app can add Birchfeed directly instead of going through a FreshRSS or Fever setting.
No Ads, No Tracking
We don't really need to know who you are or what you're doing, so we don't.
