The Birchfeed web reader: a three-pane view with feeds on the left, an article list in the middle, and the open article on the right

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 Classicchoose Reader or FreshRSS
  • NetNewsWirechoose FreshRSS
  • Currentchoose FreshRSS or Google Reader
  • Unreadchoose Fever
  • Web readerbuilt in, nothing to set up

Do you build a reader app? Integrate Birchfeed directly.

*Okay, yeah, some apps don't support those, but the good ones do!

The News Stream: a single live column of arriving articles with a freshness indicator at the top

The News Stream

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.

The Today page: the day’s date, a written briefing, and the last 24 hours of arrivals grouped by feed

Daily Roundups

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

Set up 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.

Three automation rules written as plain sentences, each with a toggle and a matched-this-week count

All the small things

OPML inport 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.
No ads, no personalized tracking
We don't really need to know who you are or what you're doing, so we don't.
