What it is

ReadKit is a read-later and RSS client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Its built-in engine subscribes to RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds, and it also connects to news services such as Feedly, Inoreader, and FreshRSS, or read-later services including Instapaper, Pocket, and Wallabag. The free core has no ads or data mining, but the built-in RSS service is limited to 20 feeds and does not sync. Subscriptions, articles, and read statuses can sync across Apple devices through supported aggregators or read-later services. Premium adds multiple accounts, unlimited feeds and smart folders, reader mode, folder and tag management, image caching, themes, app icons, and OPML import and export. Reader mode extracts article text from its original page without using an external parsing service. The macOS app has a Safari extension for detecting feeds on visited pages. Premium costs $2.99 a month or $9.99 a year; lifetime plans cost $19.99 as a one-time purchase for iOS or macOS, or $29.99, paid once for the universal option.
