What makes PithyFeed different

On-device AI summaries

Apple Intelligence summarizes every article into a focused brief, right on your Mac. Your reading never touches our servers — because we don't have any.

Full RSS, with OPML import

Subscribe to any feed. Bring your library over from another reader with a single OPML file. Organize feeds into groups, filter by keyword.

Curated starter topics

Pick from Technology, World News, Science, Business, Gaming and more to get a full starter set of feeds in seconds.

Live feed, no refreshing

New articles summarize and appear as they're ready. Unread counts tick up in the sidebar in real time.

Optional iCloud sync

Turn it on and your feeds, read state, and preferences flow between your Macs through your own private iCloud. Off by default.

No tracking, ever

No analytics, no telemetry, no accounts. PithyFeed has zero back-end. You pay once and that's the whole relationship.
