Read your feeds without anyone reading along: no account needed, no subscription, no ads, no data collected. Summaries and translation included.
Wave – read calmly, stay private.
Wave is an RSS reader for iPhone and iPad. Follow the blogs, newspapers, and magazines that matter to you – no account, no subscription, no ads, and no algorithm deciding for you. Wave gathers your sources in one place and presents them calmly and beautifully.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Wave collects no data. No tracking, no profiles, no ads.
• Articles, reading progress, and reading stats stay on your device.
• Just start as a guest. If you like, sign in with Apple – your feeds and folders then sync privately across your devices via your iCloud.
READING COMES FIRST
• Full articles instead of truncated previews: when a feed only offers a teaser, Wave fetches the complete text and formats it cleanly.
• Images, tables, videos, and quotes appear exactly where they belong.
• Six reading themes from light through sepia to dark, and five fonts.
• Once loaded, readable offline. Plus Read Later and Favorites.
• If an article sits behind a paywall, Wave tells you instead of showing half a page.
SMART HELPERS WHEN YOU WANT THEM
• Summaries: the key point and main takeaways of an article at a glance. On devices with Apple Intelligence they are created right on your device; elsewhere Wave shows the article's central sentences.
• Translation: read articles in other languages with Apple's built-in translation.
• Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight: show what's unread, summarize an article, or add a new feed.
QUICK START, EASY MOVE
• Recommended sources by topic make getting started easy.
• Bring your subscriptions over from your previous reader via OPML import – and take them with you anytime via export.
• Folders, unread counts, and search keep things tidy.
FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
• Multiple columns on iPad: sources, article list, and text side by side.
• Reading stats that show what and how much you read – just for you.
• Dynamic Type and VoiceOver are supported.
• Available in English, German, Spanish, and French.
Wave is an indie project from Dortmund, Germany. Feedback and ideas are always welcome.
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
A small update with a small request.
• Settings → About now has "Rate Wave". A quick rating on the App Store helps a small independent app a lot.
• Once you've used Wave for a while, it asks for your rating at most once per version – always after you close an article, never while you're reading.
• Fresh recommendations: Collider, El País, and Indie Hoy replace sources that no longer worked reliably.
Crafted with care, as always. Got feedback? We'd love to hear it.
