What is it?

NetNewsWire is a feed reader for Apple platforms that lets you subscribe to and read website updates in one place. It runs natively on macOS and iOS and handles the common syndication formats: RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, and RSS-in-JSON.

The project is MIT-licensed and developed in Swift. Its GitHub repository includes build instructions for Xcode, including a way to set up local code-signing settings without committing them. Some features that depend on API keys, such as iCloud and Feedly accounts and Reader View, are disabled in builds made from the source.

Bugs and feature requests are tracked through GitHub Issues, and a community forum is available for users and contributors.
