Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.2
GPA, above 32 of the 36 other read-later and bookmark apps we grade
FeedFlow is a free, open-source RSS reader by Marco Gomiero with apps for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux. It shows feeds as one chronological list with no algorithmic ranking, opens articles in Reader Mode or a browser, and can save article content for offline reading. No account is required: the library stays on the device, or syncs through iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, FreshRSS, Miniflux, Feedbin or BazQux Reader.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about FeedFlow, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: no account to create, just install it, add feeds or import an OPML file, and read.
- 1
Best for a free, plain feed reader on every device
FeedFlow is a free, open-source RSS reader for Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows and Linux that shows your feeds as one list in date order, with no account.
- 2
It is free
FeedFlow has no paid plan at all. Free and open source under the Apache 2.0 license, with no account required. The App Store listing offers optional tips from $1.99 to $22.99, and the site has a donation link.
- 3
It runs on 5 platforms
Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux.
- 4
Chronological timeline
Feeds appear as a single list in the order they were published, with no algorithmic ranking. Filters narrow it by read status, bookmarks, source or category.
- 5
Reading modes
Articles open in Reader Mode with adjustable text size, in the in-app browser, or in a browser of your choice.
- 6
Offline reading
Article content can be saved during sync so full articles are available without a connection, and cache cleanup tools keep storage in check.
- 7
A 3.2 GPA, above 32 of 36
That is against the other read-later and bookmark apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

The report card
Best for a free, plain feed reader on every device
FeedFlow is a free, open-source RSS reader for Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows and Linux that shows your feeds as one list in date order, with no account. It has no sync service of its own, so you plug in iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive or a feed account, there's no web app, no newsletters, podcasts or YouTube, and on iPhone it needs iOS 17.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free and substantial: the complete app on five platforms, with nothing to weigh up, in a category whose middle plan is $3.33 a month. The project runs on donations and optional App Store tips of $1.99 to $22.99. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free outright, Apache 2.0, with no account to make and nothing held back: every sync option and offline reading are in it. You could read on this for years and never pay. |
| Features | C | The basics, with the gaps the listing admits: one chronological list, Reader Mode, offline articles, blocked words, categories, bookmarks, search and OPML in and out, but no sync service of its own, no web app, and no newsletters, podcasts or YouTube. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: no account to create, just install it, add feeds or import an OPML file, and read. Syncing is the one part that asks anything of you. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Phone and computer: Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows and Linux, and it connects to FreshRSS, Miniflux, Feedbin and BazQux. No web app, which is what keeps it off the top mark. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who FeedFlow is for
- Fits if you want the same free reader on your phone, tablet and computer
- Works for FreshRSS, Miniflux or Feedbin users who want an open-source app
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you read in a browser tab, as there's no web app
- Not for you if you want syncing to just happen, because you supply the service it syncs through
- Not for you if your iPhone or iPad can't run iOS 17, which the App Store listing requires
- Too light for newsletters, podcasts or YouTube, which aren't on record
- Watch out: it's one developer's project, paid for by optional tips and donations rather than a paid plan
Good to know
Good for
- People who want the same free reader on phone, tablet and desktop
- Readers who prefer a plain chronological list without recommendations
- FreshRSS, Miniflux or Feedbin users looking for an open-source client
Worth knowing
- There is no web app; reading happens in the Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux apps.
- Syncing between devices needs a service you supply: iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, or a FreshRSS, Miniflux, Feedbin or BazQux account.
- The project is developed by Marco Gomiero and funded by optional tips and donations rather than a paid plan.
- The App Store listing requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
FeedFlow is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.2 is higher than 32 of the 36 other read-later and bookmark apps we grade.
What you could make
- RSS reader: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, iCloud, Dropbox and Google Drive among them.
What this rests on. FeedFlow’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
