Development Status

Unread for macOS is not ready for release, but it contains enough functionality to serve as a solid RSS reader on macOS. It syncs with Unread Cloud, Feedbin, Feedly, Fever, Inoreader, and NewsBlur accounts. It also supports Local accounts. It includes Unread’s webpage text retrieval features, themes, search functionality, and both the Subscribe in Unread and Save to Unread share extensions.

This is a list of the most significant items that have not been implemented, but that I intend to implement before releasing Unread for macOS:

  • Alternative dock icons
  • In-app release notes
  • Widgets
  • Mark All Read by scrolling beyond the last article in an article list
  • Handoff
  • A better About window

Subscription Purchases

All functionality in Unread for macOS is available without a subscription while Unread for macOS is in beta. Premium functionality will require a subscription when Unread for macOS is released.

Article actions, widgets, and alternative dock icons have not yet been implemented. Caching and Save to Unread functionality is available in the macOS beta now, regardless of whether you have an Unread subscription.

System Requirements

This beta release requires macOS 14.2 or later. I plan to continue aggressively targeting the newest version of macOS.
