What it is

Reeder is an inbox for reading, watching, and listening to material from different sources on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Its unified timeline combines RSS feeds, videos, podcasts, and social-media posts. iCloud syncs subscriptions, tagged items, and timeline position across devices, while custom timelines can filter by keywords, media types, or feed types. Links can be saved through the share extension when iCloud for Reeder is enabled. Subscribers can turn tags into public, automatically updating JSON feeds containing up to the latest 50 tagged items; these feeds are hosted on reederapp.net and are public by design. The free plan costs nothing and allows up to 10 feeds, but excludes Shared Feeds, Home timelines from Mastodon, Bluesky, and Micro.blog, and OPML import. The subscription costs $1 a month, billed monthly, covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and includes Shared Feeds. Reeder says it collects no personal information or usage data, apart from data Apple may collect when Share with Developers is enabled.
