Simple Wire

A calm, private RSS reader

Free · In‑App Purchases

Simple Wire is an RSS reader for people who want their news in one place, in order, without an algorithm in the middle. Add the sites you actually read. Simple Wire finds their feed, keeps them organized in folders, and shows you what's new — newest first, every time. No ranking, no "for you," no AI summaries, no ads. Just your feeds. SIMPLE, FAST, CLEAN • Paste any website address and Simple Wire finds its feed for you • Folders, plus dedicated All / Unread / Favorites views at every level • A clean reader view with adjustable text size and full Dark Mode • Reader Mode pulls in the full article when a feed only gives you a preview • Swipe to mark read or favorite; pull past the end of a list to clear it out • Favorites are kept forever, even if the original feed drops the article • OPML import and export, so your subscriptions are never locked in • Works with password-protected feeds, with credentials kept in the Keychain • Save pages, follow sites, or send articles straight from the system share sheet • A Saved library with collections for the articles and pages you want to keep • Search across your articles • Home Screen widgets on iPhone and iPad showing your latest unread articles, from all feeds or just one • Checks for new articles in the background as often as you choose, or only when you open it • Dynamic Type support throughout ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The iPad and Mac apps use a proper three-pane layout with keyboard shortcuts and a real menu bar. Your feeds, folders, read status, and favorites sync privately through your own iCloud — and if you'd rather keep everything on one device, sync is a switch you control. SHARE WITH PEOPLE, NOT WITH A PLATFORM Simple Wire has a small, deliberately old-fashioned social layer: you share articles with people you actually know. • Share your follow link with anyone — they tap it once and your shares appear in their Following tab • Or invite one specific person to a private connection, just between the two of you • Attach a short note when you share directly with someone • Organize the people you follow into folders, exactly like your feeds • Turn off notifications from anyone without unfollowing them, and remove a follower whenever you want There are no comments, no likes, no follower counts, and no public directory to get lost in. Following someone is always free. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION Simple Wire has no servers. There is no Simple Wire account and no Simple Wire database — your reading lives on your device and in your own iCloud, which means we couldn't look at it if we wanted to. No analytics, no ad tracking, no third-party SDKs. FREE, AND A ONE-TIME UNLOCK The reader is free, with no limits on feeds or folders. Following other people and reading what they share is always free. A single $4.99 purchase lets you share articles through Simple Wire and choose a custom app icon and reader font — one time, no subscription, shareable with your family. If you'd like to support development beyond that, there's an optional Tip Jar. It doesn't unlock anything. Questions or feedback: arosemenaapps@gmail.com
