NetNewsWire really appeals to the RSS enthusiast in me. RSS is clean, fast, and free of JavaScript trackers and other bullshit. NetNewsWire’s presentations of RSS feeds is a perfect microcosm of why I choose RSS in the first place: I like having a no-nonsense way to keep up with and view content from my favorite blogs and other news sources. Version 6 for the Mac was just released and it’s a beautiful and stable update, and iOS version 6 is coming very soon. Brent Simmons has a day job and considers NNW maintenance to be a labor of love, and also there is a community of developers doing ongoing maintenance and development for NNW. I use NNW on both my Mac and iPhone now (Reeder is also a great app for both), but if you prefer to mix it up, it’s nice to have a middleman like Feedbin, because lots of RSS apps sync with Feedbin, so I can use a different app on my Mac than I use on my other devices.īest of all, NetNewsWire is free and open-source (and Feedbin itself is open-source but charges a small fee to cover server costs). if Merrick Garland got the same media team that did the Jan 6 hearings to work on making the. When I want to subscribe to a newsletter, I give the site a unique Feedbin email address for my account, and emails that go to that address will show up as though they’re RSS feeds in my apps. Poll: Do you use a feed reader like NetNewsWire or Feedly. A lot of sites have newsletters but no RSS feeds, but that’s no problem. My favorite Feedbin feature is its support for email newsletters. You can even use Feedbin directly as an RSS reader they have a web and iOS app. Feedbin keeps all my subscriptions and it keeps track of which items are read and unread and syncs that to NNW. To keep my RSS subscriptions in sync between my devices I use Feedbin. NNW has an iOS (and iPadOS) counterpart, and it lives up to its Mac sibling of offering very standard native UI with no frills and great performance. NetNewsWire is blazing fast and feels light.

And it feels like a Mac app in the way that apps only do when the developer puts a good deal of care into making a great Mac app. It uses a beautiful and standard Mac interface.

But once you get to know it, it’s quintessentially a Mac app. At first it might feel a little spartan, but it is nonetheless quite full-featured as a reader. Just use it if you like it.) Other changes since NetNewsWire 6.0.
