01 · Why RSS

A reading list you
actually chose.

RSS is a quiet protocol that lets you follow a website the way you'd subscribe to a magazine. Every blog post, article, and newsletter in one place — presented in the order they were published, not the order an algorithm prefers.

No algorithmic feed
Posts appear in the order they were written.
No engagement traps
No likes, no streaks, no infinite scroll tricks.
You pick the sources
Blogs, news sites, personal websites, publications, newsletters with feeds.
Independent of social
Your reading life doesn't depend on any single platform.
02 · Features

07 · Privacy

Your reading
is yours.

Fawn Reader is designed around local-first storage. Feed data and reading data live in the app's database on your device. Reaching out to RSS feeds and optional external services requires network access — we don't pretend otherwise.

No unnecessary tracking
We don't profile your reading behavior.
No selling reading data
Your library is not a product we ship.
User-controlled sources
You add, remove, and organize everything yourself.
Keychain-backed credentials
External account tokens are stored securely via the system Keychain.
Optional external services
Inoreader and similar integrations are opt-in.
Scoped OAuth tokens
Tokens only connect to the provider you chose.
08 · Bring your library
