Who each one suits
Miniflux
- Readers who want a fast, plain RSS reader with no ads or tracking
- Self-hosters comfortable running a server with PostgreSQL
- People who navigate their feeds with keyboard shortcuts

Tiny Tiny RSS
- Self-hosters who already run services with Docker
- Readers who want regex filters and scoring to sort a heavy feed load
- People who want to republish selections of articles as feeds
Worth knowing
Miniflux
- There are no native apps: Miniflux runs in a browser and relies on third-party mobile apps through the Fever or Google Reader API.
- Self-hosting requires PostgreSQL, the only database Miniflux works with.
- On the hosted version, read articles are removed after 30 days and unread ones after 60; only starred articles are kept.
- The hosted version has no password reset feature, and accounts are deleted 30 days after a subscription lapses.
Tiny Tiny RSS
- The original project was retired on 2025-11-01; the current code is a fork begun on 2025-10-03 by a long-time contributor.
- Installation expects Docker, and the site says support may be limited if you run it any other way.
- The Android client is no longer maintained and its APK downloads are gone, so reading happens in the web interface.
- It is self-hosted only: you run, back up and update the server yourself.
Key features
Miniflux
- Feed reading
- Reads Atom, RSS and JSON Feed, imports and exports OPML, handles podcast, video and image enclosures, and plays YouTube videos inside the reader.
- Original article fetching
- When a feed shows only a summary, Miniflux can fetch the original page and extract the article with a local Readability parser. Custom scraper and rewrite rules are supported.
- Privacy protections
- Removes pixel trackers and tracking parameters from URLs, proxies media, blocks external JavaScript and sends no referrer. There is no telemetry or advertising.
- Keyboard-driven interface
- A minimal, responsive web interface with a wide range of keyboard shortcuts, optional touch gestures, light, dark and system themes, and custom stylesheets.
- Categories, search and filters
- Articles are organized with categories and bookmarks, searched in full text through Postgres, included or excluded by regex filters, and can be shared publicly one at a time.
- Integrations and API
- Saves articles to more than 25 services, sends webhooks, offers a REST API with Go and Python clients, and works with mobile apps that support the Fever or Google Reader API.
Tiny Tiny RSS
- Folders, OPML and deduplication
- Feeds are organized into folders and subfolders, imported and exported as OPML, and deduplicated, with a plugin that uses perceptual hashing for repeated images. Podcasts are supported.
- Content filters and scoring
- Filters match articles against regular expressions and then apply actions. Score-changing filters move articles up or down the headline list and can mark very low scores as read.
- Generated feeds and publishing
- Almost anything shown in the headline list, such as a feed, label or category, can be re-published as an Atom or JSON feed protected by a random key.
- Share anything
- A bookmarklet shares arbitrary web pages into your Published feed, and combined with Readability this lets tt-rss work like a read-it-later site.
- Plugins and themes
- Plugins share articles to other sites, extract full article text with Readability, change hotkeys or handle unusual feeds, and themes restyle the interface.
- Email digests and JSON API
- Users can opt into a daily email digest of unread headlines, and a documented JSON API is available for third-party clients.
