NetNewsWire overview

NetNewsWire is the best way to keep up with the sites and authors you read most regularly. Let NetNewsWire pull down the latest articles, and read them in a distraction-free and Mac-like way.

  • Native Interface. NetNewsWire looks right at home in OS X
  • Find Later. Bookmark individual articles, mark sites as your favorites, and search everything.
  • Sharing. Send articles to Instapaper, Twitter, or Facebook.
  • Popular Feeds. If you're just getting started, NetNewsWire can suggest some great reading material.
  • Distraction-free. Reading articles in a browser means putting up with ads and sidebars. NetNewsWire focuses on content.
  • Tabs. For the true reading lover, NetNewsWire easily keeps track of multiple articles open at the same time.

What’s new in version 6.1.7

  • Fix bug clearing refresh progress
  • Fix bandwidth bugs with downloading web pages to find feed icons and favicons
  • Update default theme with enhancements by John Gruber
  • Space out requests made to openrss.org
  • Send user-agent with platform, version, and build to openrss.org (and only to that site)

Very reliable app. Sadly it still lacks support for Nextcloud news, which is a bummer.

Version 6 is a welcome change. NetNewsWire is much more modern than the last time I used it years ago. There are only a few missing features I need. Like the ability to change the font and font size of the articles and the ability to change how the article list is displayed. Great to see NetNewsWire on the right track.
