Description

Current is an RSS reader built on a simple idea: your feed should never make you feel behind.

There are no unread counts. No red badges. No number climbing while you sleep, silently tallying everything you haven't read. Current shows you what's new right now, and that's it. Nothing is owed. Nothing is overdue. You open it when you want to read, and whatever's there is what's there.

The design is intentional. Every screen, every interaction, every animation was built to feel calm and unhurried. Articles are presented beautifully with clean typography and generous whitespace. Navigation is fluid and intuitive. The app gets out of the way and lets you focus on what matters: the writing.

Current supports multiple sync providers so you can bring your existing subscriptions:

  • Feedbin
  • Inoreader
  • MiniFlux
  • FreshRSS
  • The Old Reader
  • NewsBlur
  • Local RSS (on-device, no account needed)

Features:

  • Universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
  • Beautiful article reader with smart formatting
  • Full-text article extraction
  • Light and dark themes
  • Background refresh
  • OPML import and export
  • Share extension
  • Keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac
  • iCloud sync for local feeds

Current is a one-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Just an app you buy once and own forever.

Built by an indie developer who wanted to love RSS again.

What's New

Version 1.0.13 · Apr 8, 2026

- You can now set a custom velocity / age out date for a source! - You can now configure the app to use the “since it first appeared in the river” date as the age out start so that you don’t miss content if you have long periods of away time (good for you!) - Sped up reader extraction. - Sped up fetching for iCloud only accounts. - Fixed a bug where on cold launch the loader may get stuck. - Fixed a bug where iCloud sync can overwrite current membership and appear as though pausing is broken. - Improvements to the river position on iOS when new content arrives. - Youtube rss should no longer discover random channels. - Keyboard focus on macOS should be restored much more reliably for shortcuts access. - Command + Z to undo release is now available on macOS.

User interface issues stop me from loving this.

I really want to like this app but there are any issues with going to a webpage where videos on the webpage will just keep trying to open full screen and I can’t find a setting to actually disable these features.

Missing Articles

A core function of a good RSS reader is its ability to fetch your feeds and this app is struggling to do that.

It looks great, but needs some work

Nice looking app, and I like the minimalist styling, but found it took too long to load articles, and I somehow often ended up with the author image at the top instead of the article image. Also, missed the ability to filter articles out based on keyword, author, etc.

Great app, looking for one feature to make the full switch

Really great design on the app. Reminds me of the old River of news app from a while back. Looking for the ability to have the app mark an article as read while scrolling through the article list.

Great reader

Honestly I love everything about this very easy, very clean, nice on the eyes. Just wish it had some sort of fading or soothing effect when sending articles to the current them just being gone is a bit jarring to me. Maybe even make it a toggle option so people who prefer it how it is now can choose to keep it that way. Either way good stuff
