FreshRSS

RSS & Reading

Fast, self-hosted RSS reader for thousands of feeds.

FreshRSS is a fast, lightweight self-hosted RSS/Atom feed aggregator with a REST API compatible with Google Reader-style mobile apps, web scraping for sites without feeds, and support for tens of thousands of feeds without breaking a sweat. It runs comfortably on a Raspberry Pi and supports multi-user setups out of the box.
