What is it?

RSSBox is a self-hosted RSS management tool, formerly known as RSS Translator. It processes feed items with AI or machine translation so readers can consume content in another language. Each feed can be assigned its own translation engine, and the output can be shown as a bilingual view or as a new translated RSS or JSON feed.

Beyond translation, RSSBox can summarize entries, fetch full article text, and filter items by keyword or with AI-based filtering. Multiple feeds can be merged into a single unified feed by tag, with filters applied to the combined result. It also lets you control how often each source updates and see how many tokens or characters each source has consumed.

The project is built with Python and Django. Currently supported translation engines are DeepL and any model that exposes an OpenAI-compatible API. The project is under the GPL-3.0 license and includes Docker images.
