NetNewsWire for Mac 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.

NetNewsWire for macOS is an easy-to-use RSS and Atom news reader for Mac OS X. Its familiar three-paned interface -- similar to Apple Mail and Outlook Express -- can fetch and display news from thousands of different websites and weblogs, making it quick and easy to keep up with the latest news.

Features and Highlights

Native Interface
The tool looks right at home in macOS Mavericks.

Find Later
Bookmark individual articles, mark sites as your favorites and search everything.

Sharing
Send articles to Instapaper, Twitter, Facebook or App.net

Popular Feeds
If you're just getting started, the app can suggest some great reading material.

Distraction-free
Reading articles in a web browser means putting up with ads and sidebars. Net News Wire focuses on content.

What's new in this version:

- Added a new Error Log window — see Window > Error Log. It shows errors from refreshing, syncing, keychain, etc. (Note: it probably doesn’t show all possible errors yet. We’re still auditing the code for places to add error logging.)
- Further improved the error message reporting for credentials errors
- Fixed the missing-endpoint-URL bug with self-hosted sync accounts (FreshRSS most commonly)
- Fixed a NewsBlur syncing bug that had the app re-sending previously-sent sync statuses to the server, which was wildly inefficent
- Added Cache-Control feature: the app is now looking at the max-age and not downloading the feed again before it’s time — but with an important caveat: any max-age beyond five hours is set to five hours. (Our testing shows that lots of sites that use Cache-Control have it misconfigured for their feeds. The largest max-age we’ve seen is one year, and months are not uncommon.)
- Added a 29-minute minimum on refresh for any given feed
- Reverted a change where clicking on URLs with #fragment — when they otherwise match the current page URL — would assume an in-page navigation instead of opening in browser. Unfortunately the fragment section is very often not included in the article in the RSS, so we do need to open in browser
- Fixed a crash that could happen setting the window title
- Now more aggressively unloading memory on moving to the background
- Cut down on amount of disk writes — now storing account and feed settings in SQLite databases instead of in plist files, which is more efficient
