Current - RSS Feed Reader
Jupiter Interactive Group LLC
Genre: News
Price: $14.99
Release Date: 17 Feb 2026

Current is an RSS reader built on a simple idea: your feed should never make you feel behind.

There are no unread counts. No red badges. No number climbing while you sleep, silently tallying everything you haven't read. Current shows you what's new right now, and that's it. Nothing is owed. Nothing is overdue. You open it when you want to read, and whatever's there is what's there.

The design is intentional. Every screen, every interaction, every animation was built to feel calm and unhurried. Articles are presented beautifully with clean typography and generous whitespace. Navigation is fluid and intuitive. The app gets out of the way and lets you focus on what matters: the writing.

Current supports multiple sync providers so you can bring your existing subscriptions:

- Feedbin
- Inoreader
- MiniFlux
- FreshRSS
- The Old Reader
- NewsBlur
- Local RSS (on-device, no account needed)

Features:

- Universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
- Beautiful article reader with smart formatting
- Full-text article extraction
- Light and dark themes
- Background refresh
- OPML import and export
- Share extension
- Keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac
- iCloud sync for local feeds

Current is a one-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Just an app you buy once and own forever.

Built by an indie developer who wanted to love RSS again.

Love RSS feeds? So do we!!

RSS feeds are a great way to follow updates on your favorite website. However, some sites set up their feeds to only show a portion of each entry, you know, to get you to click through to their actual website. We find that really annoying, and we're sure you do too.

Which is why, unlike other RSS feed readers, that either push you into a browser (in-app or otherwise), or depend on third party text parsing services and require you to be online to fetch the full text of one article at a time (which makes it no different from having to click/tap through to a website), in lire, you get your favorite RSS feeds as they should've been. You don't need to click through to any website (though, you do still have the option to, if you really wanted). It takes your favorite partial feeds, does its magic, and converts them in to full feeds, so you don't have to click/tap on those annoying 'Read more' or 'Continue reading' links.

Once they're cached, you don't even need to be connected to read your full-text feeds.

Use as a standalone feed reader, sync with iCloud,

or,

sync with any of the several services: Feedly, Feedbin, FeedHQ, The Old Reader, Inoreader, BazQux Reader, Newsblur, Feed Wrangler, FreshRSS, Miniflux, Nextcloud News, Tiny Tiny RSS.

Podcast Alarm - Player & Alarm - Jonathan Wilson

Podcast Alarm - Player & Alarm
Jonathan Wilson
Genre: News
Price: $4.99
Release Date: 30 Sep 2019

Wake up to something worth listening to.

Podcast Alarm replaces your boring alarm tone with the podcast you love. Set an alarm, pick a podcast or build a queue of episodes, and wake up to real content instead of a blaring buzzer.

How it works

Set your alarm time and choose what plays — a specific podcast (always the latest episode) or the next episode in your queue. When the alarm fires, your podcast starts playing. If you're offline, episodes are pre-downloaded so playback is instant.

Features

• Podcast alarm — wake up to your favourite podcast, any day, any time
• Skip intro — automatically skip the first 15–120 seconds of every episode
• Autoplay queue — line up episodes and they play back-to-back across alarm days
• Search thousands of podcasts by name, topic, or host
• Discover new shows through curated collections
• Variable playback speed from 0.5x to 2.0x
• Pre-download episodes so your alarm works offline
• Nightstand mode — a minimal bedside clock display
• Set multiple alarms for different times of day
• Reliable delivery via AlarmKit, even when the app is closed

Whether it's your morning alarm, your gym reminder, or your wind-down routine — start it with a podcast.
