Why this exists
People didn't stop wanting the workflow. They lost the software that delivered it.
For years, gReader earned a loyal following by treating RSS as a reading tool, not a social feed. It was fast, dense, configurable and useful offline.
Then updates slowed, integrations broke and the app disappeared from the store. People kept asking for something that worked the same way.
We kept the parts worth keeping and rebuilt them in the open.

These are working parts of the current app, not a nostalgic wish list.

Scan more headlines in list, grid or card layouts without an algorithm rearranging them.
Folders and feed control
Organise subscriptions, tune per-feed behaviour and keep large reading lists manageable.
Reading mode
Extract the article, adjust text and images, invert the page and focus on the words.
Search and states
Search articles and move quickly between all, unread and starred views.
Podcasts and TTS
Play feed audio or listen to articles with configurable voice, speed and pitch.
OPML import and export
Bring your subscriptions with you and take them back out whenever you want.
Themes and layouts

The ownership promise
Built so it cannot simply disappear.
Great software can vanish while people still depend on it. Open source changes that. The code is public, the app is free and there is no closed service required for local feeds.
