The Commuter
Articles cache on first read, so reading continues on the subway, on a plane, or anywhere the signal drops. Adding feeds and refreshing them is a task for Wi-Fi at home, not for a moving train.
Built for how you read
One app, several reading habits. Every profile below is mapped to features Curated Feeds actually has: offline caching, unlimited RSS feeds, categories, swipe triage, a dark theme, and on-device privacy. Feature list reviewed against version 1.2.0 on November 1, 2026.
The Developer
Unlimited RSS 2.0, Atom, and RDF feeds mean changelogs, release notes, engineering blogs, and Hacker News all arrive in one card feed. Categories keep work sources separate from everything else.
The Researcher
Categories follow your fields, so a literature review and a news scan never collide. Swipe triage keeps the unread list short, and saved articles accumulate as a personal reference shelf you can revisit.
The News Minimalist
A small, deliberate source list, read card by card. There is no algorithmic feed, no infinite scroll, and no notification badges pulling you back before you decide to open the app.
The Night Reader
The dark indigo theme is tuned for long low-light sessions, so late reading is easy on the eyes and does not flood the room with a bright white screen.
The Privacy-First Reader
No account, no ad SDKs, and no reading-habit tracking. Your feed list and history stay on your device, and the only analytics are anonymous counters that cannot be tied back to you.
A day with Curated Feeds
The app separates monitoring from reading, so checking what arrived is a thirty-second task and reading is a deliberate block. The same split runs through our productivity tips for RSS readers.
1. Morning triage
Open the feed once and swipe through the new cards. Swipe right to save what deserves a read, left to mark the rest done. In half a minute the unread list is short and the queue holds only what survived a decision.
2. The reading block
Later, with time set aside, open your saved articles. Cached pages stay available offline, so the block is yours even on a train, a plane, or a café with poor signal.
3. Close the app
When the block ends, close the app with nothing chasing you. No notification badges and no infinite scroll wait on the other side, so the next open starts from your list rather than from habit.
Feed list sizes that work
A tight list beats a bloated one. Between ten and thirty sources is a range most people can actually finish, and every addition past that point is more likely to become noise than signal. Categories help more than folders: group feeds by topic so each opening of the app is a short, titled list rather than one undifferentiated stream.
Prune on a schedule. Once a month, scan each category for sources whose last several posts you never saved, and unsubscribe without ceremony. A smaller list that you finish reading is worth a list you finish, not a stream you scroll past, and our RSS productivity guide and starter feeds are good places to build one from.
Questions
Does it work offline?
Yes. Articles cache on first read, so saved and already-opened articles stay available in airplane mode, on the subway, or in low-signal areas. You add and refresh feeds when you are back on a connection.
How many feeds can I add?
Unlimited, across any mix of RSS 2.0, Atom, and RDF feeds. The practical limit is your own attention, which is why the app organizes sources into categories instead of one endless list.
Can I organise by topic?
Yes. Feeds are grouped into categories that you define, so work sources, news, and hobby reading stay separate. Swipe-to-save triage then keeps the unread queue short in each one.
Does it need an account?
No. Curated Feeds requires no sign-up, no email, and no password. Your feed list, categories, saved articles, and reading history stay on your device, and the only telemetry is anonymous analytics counters.
