RSS readers
Open-source RSS readers for Mac that follow blogs and news sites through RSS, Atom and JSON feeds, with folders and sync.
An RSS reader collects new articles from the sites you follow, using the RSS, Atom or JSON Feed published by each site, and shows them in one place without an algorithmic timeline.
The readers below differ in layout, filtering and sync. Check whether a reader works on its own or syncs with a feed service such as FreshRSS, whether it can fetch full article text, and whether it imports and exports OPML so you can move your subscriptions.
