About
FeedFlow is an open source RSS reader built for desktop — a fast, minimal timeline for your news, blogs, and feeds. No algorithms, no clutter, no noise.
A Desktop-First Reading Experience
- Three-pane layout: sidebar, feed list, and article view — all visible at once
- Switch to single-pane mode if you prefer a focused view
- Keyboard shortcuts for everything — refresh with F5, navigate with arrow keys, mark as read with Ctrl+Shift+A
- The app remembers your window position and size between sessions
- Dark mode, light mode, and OLED black theme
Read Articles Your Way
- Open articles in your default browser, or use Reader Mode for a distraction-free reading experience
- Adjust text size and spacing in Reader Mode for comfortable reading on any screen
- Prefetch and cache full article content for offline reading
Sync Feeds Across All Your Devices

- Self-hosted and server sync with FreshRSS, Miniflux, Feedbin, or BazQux
