💡 Why Newsairy
Yet another RSS reader (YARR), why not?
Honestly, I did it for the same reasons I see others mentioning:
there wasn’t an RSS reader out there that fit me perfectly. So I started working on my own.
Newsairy is designed to get out of your way. No engagement metrics,
no trending topics, no algorithm deciding what you see. Just the feeds you choose, delivered cleanly.
🏅 What makes this app unique
- Focus on the last news with Smart Folders: Today, Last 24 / 48 / 72 hours>
- Read History: articles sorted by read date
- Three independent article retention rules:
- Fetch history: how far back to download articles on first load
- Unread retention: how long to keep unread articles from their publication date
- Read retention: how long to keep read articles from their publication date
- Native, fast, Liquid Glass (on iOS 26)
- No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics
