That way, you can pick a site, folder, or tag you care about most to use with a widget or create a stack of the sources most important to you. The larger the widget you pick, the more articles it can display, but even with the large widget, you are limited to at most five articles, which is why the ability to pick a source is so important. Reeder’s widgets can also be displayed using four fonts: System, Rounded, Serif, and Compact. In a nice touch, there’s a search field in the widget configuration view to make it easier to find the source you want. Folders and feeds associated with an RSS service and the tag associated with the Read Later service can serve as widget sources too. The app’s Recent Articles widget comes in small, medium, and large sizes and can be configured to display articles from any source set up in the app, including the app’s built-in Read Later service and any RSS service. The iPhone and iPad versions of Reeder have added widget support too. The combination of items pulled from RSS and pushed from the web using the share extension is a powerful mix, making it possible for Reeder to become the main hub for your web reading.Įxamples of Reeder widgets using different sources.

Stories can be sent to Reeder’s Read Later service from the RSS feeds you subscribe to or from other apps by using Reeder’s share extension. However, having one built into an RSS client was an unexpected pleasure. One of my favorite features debuted in version 4 of Reeder is its Read Later service. Roughly one year later, version 5 is out as a brand new app that takes what Rizzi began last year and extends it further with a host of excellent new features and design refinements. With the release of version 4, developer Silvio Rizzi rebuilt the app on a modern foundation from the ground up. Reeder has been one of the best-designed RSS apps available for a very long time.

Last year we named RSS client Reeder 4 the Best App Update as part of the MacStories Selects awards for a good reason.
