Current Reader
A calm RSS feed reader
$14.99
An RSS reader that respects your time. No unread counts, no guilt, no inbox zero. Just a calm, beautiful way to read the web when you want to.
Current is an RSS reader built on a simple idea: your feed should never make you feel behind.
There are no unread counts. No red badges. No number climbing while you sleep, silently tallying everything you haven't read. Current shows you what's new right now, and that's it. Nothing is owed. Nothing is overdue. You open it when you want to read, and whatever's there is what's there.
The design is intentional. Every screen, every interaction, every animation was built to feel calm and unhurried. Articles are presented beautifully with clean typography and generous whitespace. Navigation is fluid and intuitive. The app gets out of the way and lets you focus on what matters: the writing.
Current supports multiple sync providers so you can bring your existing subscriptions:
- Feedbin
- MiniFlux
- FreshRSS
- The Old Reader
- NewsBlur
- Local RSS (on-device, no account needed)
Features:
- Universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
- Beautiful article reader with smart formatting
- Full-text article extraction
- Light and dark themes
- Background refresh
- OPML import and export
- Share extension
- Keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac
- iCloud sync for local feeds
Current is a one-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Just an app you buy once and own forever.
Built by an indie developer who wanted to love RSS again.
