Native and small
Written in Rust with native macOS text and PDF rendering. No web view, no Electron. The whole thing fits in under 100 MB.
For macOS
Your links and feeds, finally in one place.
I made a new reading app to save links and RSS feeds. Reader keeps every article you save and every story your feeds publish in one quiet, local library on your Mac.
Free · macOS 13 or later · Apple silicon
Every app I tried did half the job.
I wanted one place for the things I find and the things I follow. Each favourite got close, then fell short.
Matter
Lovely for saved articles
But its RSS sucks. Older stories vanish once a feed moves past its latest twenty.
NetNewsWire
A great feed reader
But you can't save a link you found anywhere else.
Instapaper
The original read-later
But there's no RSS support at all.
Reader does both. Save any link, follow any feed, and never lose a story because a feed moved on.
Feeds
Follow publications. Keep every story.
Add RSS and Atom feeds and new posts land in your Inbox. Each one stays in your library, even after it slides off the feed or you unsubscribe.
- Pause, sync or unsubscribe without losing what you've read
- Bring your subscriptions over with OPML
- Syncs quietly in the background
Saving
Save from anywhere, even WhatsApp.
Found something on your phone? Message yourself on WhatsApp with “save” and the link. It's waiting in your Inbox when you sit down at your Mac.
- Or press ⌘N and paste a link
- Import your Matter library, bookmarks or a CSV of links
- Export everything, any time, as a ZIP

Magazines
Turn your best reads into a magazine.
Pick a handful of articles, choose paper size, columns and typefaces, and get a print-ready PDF edition with a painted cover.
Made to feel like a Mac app.
Yours, locally
Your library lives on your Mac. No account, no sync server, no tracking of what you read.
A calm reader
Light and dark themes, Georgia, Baskerville, Avenir Next or Helvetica Neue, and adjustable text size.
