Reader Ultra
The no-nonsense RSS reader
$19.99
The RSS reader that gets out of your way. Blazing-fast, beautifully clean, and synced across all your devices in real time — with Reader Ultra sync service included.
Reader Ultra is RSS the way it should be: fast, clean, and completely free of nonsense.
No cluttered timelines. No ads dressed up as articles. No algorithm deciding what you see. Just your feeds, your folders, and a reading experience built for speed and focus — on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
GET STARTED IN SECONDS
Fill your reader your way. Add feeds by hand, paste in your own feed URLs, import an existing OPML file to bring your whole library across in one step — or skip the setup entirely and pick from a specially curated selection of quality feeds to get you reading straight away. However you start, you're only a tap or two from your first article.
FAST, FROM LAUNCH TO LAST ARTICLE
Reader Ultra opens instantly and stays out of your way. Scrolling is smooth, articles load clean, and everything is designed to get you reading in seconds — not fighting a busy interface.
A PRIVATE, HIGH-PERFORMANCE SYNC SERVICE
Reader Ultra includes its own private RSS sync service — not a bolt-on, and not built on tracking. Your feeds and reading state sync across every device in real time, and it's fast: read an article on your Mac and it's already marked read on your iPhone; add a feed on your iPad and it appears everywhere in seconds. Silent background push keeps every device current without draining your battery, and the whole service is engineered for speed and reliability even with hundreds of feeds and thousands of articles. Sync is included at no extra cost — there's no separate account to juggle and nothing to configure.
NATIVE ON EVERY PLATFORM, OPTIMISED FOR EACH
Reader Ultra isn't a single app stretched to fit — it's built natively for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and tuned for each one. On iPhone it's a fast, one-handed reader designed for quick sessions on the go. On iPad it takes full advantage of the larger canvas with multi-column layouts, split view, and keyboard support. On Mac it's a true desktop app with real keyboard shortcuts, resizable columns, and multiple windows — the polish Mac users expect. Whichever device you pick up, it feels like it was made for that device, because it was.
FOLDERS, YOUR WAY
Organise feeds into folders and make them yours — custom names, custom SF Symbol icons, and colours that help you find what you want at a glance. A tidy sidebar means less hunting and more reading.
PERSONALISE EVERY DETAIL
Reader Ultra is yours to shape. Choose from 20+ app icons and matching app accent colours to set the whole app's tone. Customise the sidebar to suit how you read — tailor the status tile, adjust the analytics tile, or hide the analytics tile entirely for a cleaner, more focused layout. Make it as informative or as minimal as you like.
OPTIMISED SHARING
Share the way you actually want to. Reader Ultra gives you clean, fast sharing to your favourite apps — the full article, the link, or a quick summary — with a share sheet that just works.
THOUGHTFUL, MODERN FEATURES

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your reading is yours. Reader Ultra doesn't build an ad profile, doesn't track what you read, and doesn't get in your way.
Whether you follow a handful of blogs or hundreds of news sources, Reader Ultra keeps everything fast, organised, and perfectly in sync.
