Hi everyone, I’m looking for an RSS feed reader available both for PC (Windows and/or Linux) and Android. I would like to have my feed synced and organized in the same way (and maybe some backup functionality too).

Do you have any suggestions? Or do you know some other way I could accomplish that?

      I would happily pay for a good software, but no way I’m gonna put myself under a subscription plan. Subscription plan are the worst!

      Thank for the suggestion though!

    Yes, syncing is critical for me too. I self-host FreshRSS (will run on a Pi) and can access from my desktop browser or phone browser. I also pair it with Full Text RSS so that it pulls in the full text of the article. Otherwise, you have to look at Inoreader, Feedly, or similar, but they have limitations on their free tiers.

    Ugh. I went to Feedly after Google Reader went kaput (why did then end that, it was great). I went back to Feedly about a week ago after leaving Reddit. So now I’m on the hunt again.

    I would also greatly appreciate free non-selfhosted RSS suggestions for desktop and Android phone.

    I was using inoreader for a while, but currently I’m just using a small application to convert the RSS feeds in e-mails and adding them to my mailbox with IMAP. This allows me to use any email client to read the feeds.

    I’m using my own app, but there are a few open source ones if you search for rss to IMAP or feed to IMAP.

      My recommendation is NetNewsWire. Looks like an app made by Apple themselves and it is open source.

    There are lots of options for RSS clients that supports 3rd party synchronization services like Feedbin, Feedly, FreshRSS (selfhosted AFAIK). I prefer NetNewsWire client for both macOS and iOS as it supports Feedly integration.

    Couldn’t find any pleasant looking RSS client on Windows but I got used to browse Feedly in my browser daily instead.

    For the organization and synchronization, I have no issues with Feedly so far. But if you’re looking for something else, there are lots of client and service options that can suit you better. (Try searching “RSS” on GitHub)
