Do you want to read your news using RSS/Atom/JSON feeds in the most efficient, no-nonsense way, and with no requirement to setup an app-specific user account or relying on a server? If you do, Heartfeed might be the app for you.
Features:
- A compact grid view for your feeds, making it easy to check all of them at once
- When reading news in the internal browser, full support of your configured content blockers, saved passwords, etc.
- Automatic synching of subscribed feeds and read status between iOS devices (requires an iCloud account)
- Quick pick list: Easily select which news items from different feeds you want to read
- Background refresh of feeds: Some feeds refresh often and you then risk missing news in case the app is not used frequently. Background refresh, together with caching of the last 50 news items in each feed, prevents this from happening
- Bookmarks, including reading them from either inside Heartfeed or from any iOS or macOS browser (requires an iCloud account)
- Night mode theme
- Subscribing to feeds from the current Heartfeed top list, from files, or directly from the web
- Full support for split views and multi-tasking on iPads
- No tracking of usage or personal data; optionally, you can anonymously share which feeds you subscribe to for improving the builtin top list of recommended feeds
The app is 100% free and without ads. If you want to tip me somethings as thanks for the app, you can do so within the settings.
I hope you'll enjoy using Heartfeed!

Best RSS, needs one improvement.
By far the best RSS reader on the marker.
Note for developer: When in dark mode and you click “Read on the web” it goes to a bright reader screen (not safari), then you can choose to view it in safari with iOS 13 dark mode on. My issue is the bright screen between that button and getting into safari, it’s blinding at night. I wouldn’t even go to safari if that reader was dark mode by default when your app setting is dark mode.
Thanks, I love this app so much and even happy to pay for it if I need to.
Awesome, lightweight RSS Reader
This is easily the best news reader! Easy to use, many articles visible at once, you can group feeds, and now you can swipe out of the safari web viewer!
Thanks for continuing to update this!
Best news reader on the App Store (and Pulse replacement)
It's actually better than Pulse, which makes it twice as good as every other news app. Stupid vertical scrolling Apple News/Feedly/every other news app out there - Bow down before your King.
THANKYOU
At last I've found a replacement for Pulse. Thanks for making it.
Pulse alternative
Finally a pulse alternative. Thank you. UI could be a bit slicker but it does the job.
Not worth the money
I think this app has promise but there are a few others out there that are streets ahead. Waste of money for me.
Props to the developer
I've been looking for a decent pulse replacement for awhile and stumbled on this one in reddit.
It does a fine job at mimicking what I feel is the best way to present RSS feeds.
Good job :)
