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!

Close to perfect
I was looking for something that could import OPML, that didn't have a subscription (no problem with subscriptions, I just don't read enough RSS feeds to justify one), that wasn't orphaned, and that worked really well. This is that app.
Has potential but not up to scratch
The display that this RSS reader provides is really useful. This is a a display I wish other apps would use. However the rest of the app itself is so limiting that it’s not a practical reader. It doesn’t integrate with other accounts (eg Feedly), although it does accept OPML files it only reads the feeds and not the groups so if you import, as I did, 300+ feeds they’d lost all grouping. This is a massive flaw. With work this could be a great reader, but it’s not there yet.
Best since Pulse
Great to have an RSS reader that uses the
Pulse-like interface that the barbarians from LinkedIn trashed. I have paid to support the developer, but the interface looks great
Great start. The new Pulse?
Read about this app on Reddit when looking for alternatives to pulse after it was plundered and then murdered by LinkedIn.
Well done to the developer for picking up the baton.
At last a replacement for Pulse
LinkedIn's purchase and subsequent murder of the Pulse app was a sad series of events for RSS lovers. Happily the author of this app agreed and wrote this as an alternative for those mourning Pulse's passing. It's functional rather than feature rich and the feed search could be a little slicker but this is a great replacement for Pulse and recommended for anyone who misses that great little app. Massive hats off to the developer for making this.
Pulse replacement
Lots of potential here. Finally something that doesn't try and mash all my feeds together in some quirky magazine style with different sized blocks!!!
Can't wait to see how the developer improves this app.
