FeedDo — Private, on-device news reader

How it works

Follow, read, ask

Three steps, and none of them involve making an account.

Add your sources

Paste any RSS URL or pick from curated suggestions. Every source shows a live unread count, so you always know what's waiting.

Read what matters

A For You feed ranks stories by what you actually open and save, learned by a model that runs entirely on your phone.

Ask about it

Ask a question and get an answer built only from the articles you follow — with every source cited and tappable.

✦ The centerpiece

Ask your news anything

Tap the center button and ask. FeedDo finds the most relevant articles in your feed, answers grounded only in them, and cites every source — tappable straight into the reader.

✦Grounded in your feed. Answers come only from what you follow.
✦Always cited. Every source is listed and tappable.
✦Honest. "I couldn't find it in your news" beats a made-up answer.
✦Per article too. Ask about the exact story you're reading.

Ask AI — grounded answer with cited sources

✦ In practice

Answers, with receipts

Every reply is assembled from articles already in your feed — never from the open web, never invented.

What happened with the interest rate decision?

The central bank held rates steady this week, citing easing inflation but a still-tight labour market. Two of your sources flagged a possible cut later in the quarter.

✦ Reuters · Markets ✦ FT · Economics

Anything on my football club today?

I couldn't find anything about that in your news today — nothing in the feeds you follow covered it.

Illustrative exchange — real answers are generated on your device from your own feeds.

Reading, done right

Every story, beautifully

A clean reader that matches Safari's — sans-serif, comfortable spacing, big imagery. When a feed only sends a teaser, FeedDo fetches the full story so you never leave for the source.

✓Swipe between articles, pull down to close.
✓Full text fetched when feeds only tease.
✓Save, share, and tune text size to taste.

A toggle, not an unclearable tab.

Privacy

Private by architecture, not by promise

There is no FeedDo server. Nothing syncs, nothing logs in, and there is no profile of you anywhere — because there is nowhere for one to live.

No account, no sign-in

Open the app and add a feed. That is the entire onboarding.

Everything stays on device

Articles, reading history, and saved items live in local storage on your iPhone.

Your questions never leave

Retrieval reads local storage and answers are written on-device. Nothing is sent for processing.

No analytics, no ads

No trackers, no advertising SDKs, nothing to opt out of.

Publishers, directly

Feeds are fetched straight from the sources you choose — no middleman collecting your interests.

Works without Apple Intelligence

On devices without it, retrieval and smart search take over. Nothing is sent anywhere either way.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no cloud to sync with. Your feeds live on your phone.

Where does the AI run?

On your device, using Apple Intelligence where available. Your questions and reading history are never uploaded.

What if my iPhone doesn't support Apple Intelligence?

Everything else still works — feeds, ranking, reader, saving and search. Conversational answers and the written digest need a capable device.

Can it invent news?

Answers are assembled only from articles already in your feed, and every source is cited. If nothing matches, it says so rather than guessing.

Which feeds can I add?

Any standard RSS or Atom feed by URL, plus a curated set of suggestions to get started quickly.

Is there a lifetime option?

Yes — a single $49.99 purchase unlocks Plus permanently, if you'd rather not subscribe.

Private by design

It all stays on your phone

Your reading history, interests, and questions never leave the device. Retrieval reads local storage; answers are written on-device by Apple Intelligence where available, and degrade gracefully to smart-search everywhere else. No account. No servers.

Conversational answers and the LLM-written digest require an Apple-Intelligence-capable iPhone; retrieval, citations, ranking, and the app itself work on every device.
