A second to know, a swipe to skip or read: the news from your sources, an AI summary on request and a For You feed made to measure. No account, no ads. Keeping up with the news shouldn’t mean opening twenty links and stacking tabs. Riff shows you the stories from your sources one at a time, full screen: the headline, the picture, the gist. In a second you know if it’s for you. Yes? Read it right here, in the app. No? Swipe. No account, no ads, no tracking. YOUR SOURCES, YOUR PACE • More than 1,000 sources in French and English, switched on in one tap • Paste the address of a site or an RSS feed to add your own • Hide a source or set how often suggestions appear: the feed adjusts • Playlists: your categories grouped under the name you like, up to 10 • For You: a feed composed on your iPhone from your reading, with “fewer stories like this” one tap away • Subject: tap it to find the articles that talk about the same subject, in your sources and beyond The article’s text shows in the app when the publisher makes it freely available. If it is for subscribers only, Riff shows the excerpt and the link: it never gets around a paywall. TOO LONG? AN AI SUMMARY, ONE TAP AWAY Tap the Riff logo: Apple Intelligence writes a short summary above the article, which stays right below. Nothing is summarized on its own, and the text you read is always the publisher’s. It needs a device that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later), with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings. Without it, everything else in Riff works. LISTEN (experimental) Riff reads the article aloud, in French or English, with the voices of your device: the text is sent nowhere. Controls on the lock screen, with headphones and in the car. You need an enhanced or premium voice installed in Settings. YOUR WATCHLIST Keep an article in one tap: it is stored with its text, and its AI summary if it has one, and opens even offline. WIDGETS, RIGHT ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN The next cards of your feed or of a Playlist on the home screen, in three sizes, and on the lock screen, with the number of articles left to read. One glance, and you know. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING Riff has no account and no server: your device fetches articles directly from the publishers. Your sources, settings and reading history stay on your iPhone and, unless you turn sync off, in your private iCloud. Export the sources you added yourself (OPML) to open them in another RSS reader. Articles belong to their publishers: Riff sends you to the source and is not affiliated with any of them. Apple Intelligence is a trademark of Apple Inc. SUBSCRIPTION Riff is free to download, and the first 20 cards are free. To go on, you start a 14-day free trial in the app, then a monthly or yearly plan at the price the app shows for your country. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial, the plan you chose is charged to your Apple Account and renews automatically, unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of each period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Without an active subscription, once the free cards are read, the app is locked, and your data stays on your iPhone: you can still export it.
