## Best for

People who still want to read the web by subscription instead of an algorithmic feed.

## Why it deserves attention

NetNewsWire is a long-running native RSS reader for macOS and iOS with smart feeds, a clean timeline, reader view, search, starred articles, and OPML import and export. It stores feeds locally by default and can sync through services such as Feedbin, Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, or The Old Reader if you want multiple devices. It is MIT licensed, has about 10,500 GitHub stars, and is maintained by Ranchero Software with frequent releases. It is Apple-only, so Android and Windows readers need another app.
