An indie app likeGoodLinkshelps you research better, and an app likeAlmighty will make you a Mac God.

My favorite, though, are RSS reader apps.

It provides a fast and sleek RSS reader that’s actually a delight to read.

Reeder app for Mac.

The minimalist app puts the reading experience first, and I like that a lot.

Now, the app has been split into two.

The newReeder appis now more of a social reader.

NetNewsWire RSS reader for Mac.

Reeder also has quite an interesting take on shared feeds.

The downside is that the new Reeder app is still not fully finished.

Both features, thankfully, will be added in future updates.

Lire RSS reader for iPhone.

This is a free and open-source project that’s community supported and is in active development.

you could sync using popular services like Feedly, Feedbin, Inoreader, and more.

Fast, simple, and no frills is the way I would describe NetNewsWire.

Unread RSS reading app for Mac.

Many sites only show a portion of the article you’re trying to read in RSS feeds.

Lire, instead, downloads and parses the text from the website straight to your equipment.

Other than that, Lire is a regular app.

Feeeed RSS and Social reading app for iPhone.

Unread

Unreadis all about style.

I remember using it almost 10 years ago on my first generation iPad mini.

It just looked socool.

The combination of beautiful typography and colorful themes was genuinely a sight to behold.

But that’s not enough for me, at least these days.

Unread has gone through many updates, but retains its characteristic style.

The downside is that there’s no way to change the app’s default font,Whitney.

If you don’t like it, you should look at other apps on this list.

If you like the font, though, you’ll enjoy using Unread.

The app is native and wickedly fast at loading up dozens of feeds.

But even without paying, Unread works out to be a great RSS reader.

Feeed

Feeeedis a social reader app that’s built around an RSS framework.

Feeeed is completely free and works only on iPhone, so there’s no Mac version.

All that aside, Feeeed makes for a lightweight and fun reader for iPhone.
