Unread Premium Features

Unread’s core functionality is free. A subscription is available that unlocks premium features on Mac, iPhone, and iPad:

Save To Unread

Custom Icons

Unread offers 32 different app icon options, each with a different color scheme. On iPhone and iPad the custom icon appears on your home screen. On Mac the custom icon appears in the dock while Unread is running.
