NetNewsWire is a calm and quick RSS reader for Mac that collects new articles from the blogs and news sites you follow into one list. Instead of visiting each site or relying on social feeds, you read everything in one place and the app remembers what you have seen. It suits writers, researchers, and anyone who still loves the open web.

Key Features

  • Syncs feeds and read status through iCloud and services such as Feedly and Feedbin
  • Safari extension that makes adding a new feed a short job
  • Reader view and themes that present articles in a clean layout
  • Smart feeds such as All Unread and Today, plus folders for organising feeds
  • Imports and exports OPML files so you can move your feed list in or out

How to Download

  1. Download from the official site using the Mac download on the home page.
  2. Open the downloaded file and move the app into your Applications folder.
  3. Add your first feeds with the plus button, or import an OPML file from another reader.

System Requirements

The current Mac release needs macOS 15 or newer, as stated on the official site. Confirm your version in About This Mac. You need an internet connection to fetch feeds, and sync services need their own accounts.

FAQs

Is NetNewsWire really free?

Yes. The app is free and open source for Mac, iPhone and iPad, with no ads and no tracking, say the developers.

Can it sync with my iPhone and iPad?

Yes. With iCloud sync or a supported feed service, your feeds and read status stay in step across your Mac and mobile devices.

Can I bring my feeds from another reader?

Yes. Most readers can export an OPML file, and NetNewsWire can import that file so your subscriptions and folders come across in one go.
