Now in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian, and AI summaries follow the app language. Four feeds, no account, no tracking.
4RSS is a minimalist RSS reader for iPhone with exactly four feed slots. Pick the four sources you really care about, open the app and read. No accounts, no tracking, no endless inbox.
FOUR FEEDS, ONE TAP AWAY
Add up to four RSS or Atom feeds. Each one lives in a slot in the bottom bar with its own icon and an unread counter. Tap a slot to load its articles. Long-press a slot to edit or delete the feed. Choose which feed opens when the app starts. The limit of four is deliberate: it keeps your reading calm.
READ WITHOUT DETOURS
Tap an article and it opens right away in the built-in browser. Share the link with the iOS share sheet. Pull down to refresh, and see when the feed was last updated.
KEEP TRACK
Articles you open are marked as read, unread ones stand out in the list. One tap on the checkmark marks the whole feed as read. Star articles as favorites and filter the list to see only those. Favorites stay even if you change a feed.
AI SUMMARIES (BETA, OPTIONAL)
Short on time? Let an AI summarize an article in a few lines, create a short snippet to share, or get a summary of today's or this week's news in the current feed. Summaries are written in the app's language. You use your own API key from Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI, Google Gemini or Mistral and choose the model. Copy or share the result with one tap. The feature is off until you add a key, and you can delete the saved key for each provider at any time (Remove Key).
YOUR PRIVACY
No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. 4RSS has no server. Your feeds, read status, favorites and settings stay on your iPhone, and your API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain.
To be clear about what the app does contact: the feed servers you add, the websites of articles you open or have summarized, and the website of each feed to load its icon (only that host). If you use AI summaries, the app asks for your consent once per provider and loads the article pages itself. It then sends titles, dates and article text (for a news summary, up to ten articles plus further titles and the feed name, but no links) to the provider you picked, under that provider's terms. Without a key, nothing is sent to any AI provider.
FIVE LANGUAGES
4RSS speaks English, German, French, Spanish and Italian and follows your iPhone's language. To change it, use the Language row in the app's settings.
