Time buckets
Corefeed
A meta-modern* feed reader
* Taking the old feed reader experience and adding just enough modern conveniences without turning it into an algorithmic feed
Corefeed keeps articles, podcasts, and YouTube channels together on iOS so every feed format shows up in the same timeline.
New stories land in time buckets so catching up feels manageable, and media sits alongside articles.
Nothing is trying to decide what you should read next. Just enough modern conveniences without turning it into an algorithmic feed. Join the Alpha.
Reading
A clean reading experience
Most feeds only show a snippet. Corefeed pulls the full page with intelligent extraction, fixes the layout, and respects your font, size, spacing, and density prefs. Toggle extracted view automatically or pop straight into Safari Reader when needed.
On devices with Apple Intelligence you also get a quick digest card, topic tags, and one tap briefs that use the latest Foundation Models without leaving the device. Syntax highlighting and improved content formatting make technical articles shine.
Media
Podcasts and YouTube
Add podcasts and YouTube channels next to blogs so every format shows up in the same flow. The floating player handles queueing, chapters, speed, sleep timer, lock screen controls, and Podcasting 2.0 features like transcripts and soundbites.
Videos play inline or jump to YouTube. Episodes download in the background, remember position, and auto-clean when finished. View podcast episodes in article view, access full transcripts, and enjoy video podcasts with dedicated playback controls.
Offline
Local-first experience
Articles and artwork are cached locally, podcast downloads live in Application Support, and background refresh (15/30/60 minutes or manual) keeps things current. When you go offline the feed just keeps showing what it has with a small banner.
No accounts, no sync layer, just private storage on your device. Import and export your feeds with OPML for easy backup and migration.
Organization
Powerful filters and discovery
Swipe in an enhanced sidebar to filter by sources, groups, starred, archived, unread, or topic tags that AI creates automatically. Media filters let you view everything or just articles, podcasts, or videos. Groups are lightweight sets with icons and colors.
Adding feeds happens by typing a URL (auto discovery tries all the usual paths) or browsing curated categories for Articles, Podcasts, or YouTube. Share extension and URL scheme integration let you add feeds from Safari. Adjust card density to your preference and edit feed names on the fly.
Additional features
Gentle notifications
Pick an interval, toggle sources on or off, and let Apple Intelligence roll up multi-article alerts into a short summary.
Full briefings
The digest card can expand into a longer report that references the exact articles used, so you can open what matters without hunting.
Share extension
Add any feed from Safari's share sheet or tap corefeed://add-feed links to drop straight into the add flow. Auto-paste support makes adding feeds even faster.
Continue listening
In-progress episodes float to a dedicated section, remember position, and keep their downloads managed for you. Siri can announce when pausing or playing.
Podcast transcripts
Read full episode transcripts with easy navigation and search, making it simple to find specific moments or catch up without listening.
