Less noise. More of what you follow.

Most feeds decide for you: sponsored posts, gossip, and the same story six times over. RssNova starts from the sources and topics you pick, and clears away the rest.

  • Only the sources you chooseThe Following tab shows just the publishers you follow, newest first. Nothing sponsored, nothing boosted for clicks.
  • One card per storyWhen six outlets cover the same event, you get one card, with the full coverage a tap away.
  • Turn down anythingShow less of a topic or hide a source for good. For You tells you why it picked a story.
  • No ads, no autoplay, no pingsNothing plays on its own, and every notification starts switched off.

How it works

Your sources, one calm stream

Publishers already share every new story in a feed. RssNova reads those feeds for you on its own servers, cleans them up, and turns each item into a card you can scan in a second. When several outlets report the same event, you get one card and the whole timeline.

Features

Everything you need to follow the news

Three ideas carry the whole app: see every side of a story, add anything that publishes a feed, and read without noise.

Every side of a story

When outlets in English, French and Arabic cover the same event, RssNova groups them. Coverage shows who reported what, and when.

A reader that stays calm

Serif or sans, text size, line spacing and width are yours. Every story links to the original, so publishers keep their readers.

Principles

Built to be read, not scrolled

RssNova is designed around how reading should feel. It doesn't chase your time. Information feels alive, and reading stays calm.

Curiosity

Every topic has its own illustration and colour, so Explore feels like a map of the day's ideas.

Confidence

Every action confirms itself. Saved stories stay on your iPhone and open offline.

Calm in the dark, too.

Control

Each story says why it's in your feed. Show less of a topic, hide a source, clear your history or export your data at any time.

Calm

The reader turns down the colour and motion. Everything respects Reduce Motion, and nothing plays a sound.

Questions

Questions, answered

What is RSS?

RSS is an open format that news sites and blogs use to publish their newest stories. Most sites have a feed, even if they don't advertise it. RssNova reads RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, Atom and JSON Feed.

How does RssNova keep my feed uncluttered?

You choose every source and topic. When many outlets report the same event, you get one card instead of six. The Following tab shows only the publishers you follow, newest first. In For You, you can show less of a topic, hide a source, or turn personalization off for a plain newest-first stream. There are no ads or sponsored stories.

Can I add a site that isn't listed?

Yes. Open Sources, tap Add a feed and paste a feed or website address. RssNova finds the feed and follows it for you. Feeds you add appear for the people who follow them, not in the shared directory.

Do I need an account?

No. You can read, follow and save stories as a guest, and everything stays on your iPhone. Sign in with Apple, Google or email when you want your follows and saved stories on another device.

Does it show full articles?

RssNova shows the headline, image and excerpt that the publisher shares in its feed. The full story opens on the publisher's own site.

What happens to my reading history?

It ranks For You and nothing else. You can turn personalization off, clear your history, export your data or delete your account from Settings. There are no ads.

Which languages does it speak?

English, French and Arabic, with a full right-to-left layout in Arabic. Stories stay in the language they were published in.
