LibreblogRSS
A simple Android RSS reader that feels like a social timeline — supports multimedia, .onion sites, and works well with non-monopolistic platforms (Mastodon, Substack, etc.).
Features
- Lightweight, customisable recommendation algorithm.
- Light and dark themes.
- Fullscreen video player.
- No ads, no tracking.
- Follow .onion sites (requires Orbot).
- Import/export OPML.
- Copy and paste links — the app will try to find the feed and the profile image.
(Opinionated) Limitations
- No notifications, no badge counts, no gamification — no anxiety.
- No folders or categorisation — just a flow.
- Posts are deleted after a customisable number of days (unless liked).
- Articles open in the default browser (or in Tor for .onion links).
- The app does not run in the background — posts load only while it's in use.
Why bother supporting .onion when few news organizations are there?
To make static sites built with this Editor easily accessible in the app (using OnionShare).
Who is this app for?
For people done with social platforms who still want to follow things they find interesting.
