What is it?

Lettura is a desktop feed reader for following blogs, news sites and other RSS sources in one place. It runs on macOS and Windows, with Linux listed as planned support, and is built with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and Tauri.

The app provides full-text search across all subscribed feeds, a clean interface with light and dark themes based on shadcn/ui, and keyboard shortcuts for navigating and acting on articles without the mouse. It also plays podcast episodes inside the app.

The repository is a pnpm monorepo that includes the desktop app and a documentation site, with commands for running the frontend alone, running the full Tauri dev mode and building release binaries.
