“On the iPhone I use an app called Unread. … If you ever use the Clear app for your to-dos or shopping lists where it’s very opinionated, very limited, and very gesture-based, it’s kind of like that for RSS readers. And I like that a lot on the phone. I have a lot of muscle memory there, and I enjoy the design of it quite a bit.”
— Marco Arment, Accidental Tech Podcast

“Unread carries a strong history as one of the top RSS clients on iOS, and version 2 ensures that will remain true for a long while yet.”
– Ryan Christoffel, MacStories

“Unread is focused on eliminating chrome — it is a pure reading app. It’s like reader mode all the time, and the assortment of color themes is nicely curated.”
– John Gruber, Daring Fireball

What’s New

Version 4.0.1

Unread’s old icon with the white background is back as the default icon. With Unread 4.0 (and Unread for Mac) I changed Unread’s icon to be one with a silver background. I thought it was an improvement, but after receiving several thoughtful messages from customers it has become clear that the silver icon was not popular. The silver icon remains available as an alternative icon for customers who subscribe to Unread’s premium features.

This update also incorporates these improvements:

• This update adds a Keyboard Navigation help article. It is available via the Help menu. This help article describes shortcuts for navigating Unread with a keyboard.
• This update fixes bugs around preserving window position and size.
• This update improves the display of homekitnews.com articles. These improvements will apply to articles downloaded after installing this update.
• This update fixes user interface glitches around organizing feed subscriptions via drag and drop.
• This update fixes a bug that would prevent section titles from appearing at the top or bottom of an article list while flicking through it on a trackpad under some circumstances.
• This update fixes a bug that caused VoiceOver to read image names when reading source list items.
• This update fixes a bug that caused VoiceOver to read a rogue date or feed name when navigating to the left from the article list under some circumstances.
• The description of Unread’s subscription now includes the fact that it supports Apple’s family sharing.

If you enjoy using Unread, please consider purchasing a subscription to Unread’s premium features.
