Elytra

Elytra is an RSS feed reader for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS that renders text, images, and video using Apple’s native TextKit technologies. It presents articles with customizable fonts, line‑heights, and sizes, and strips tracking pixels and scripts before download, routing images through a proxy to protect user identity. Video content is loaded directly from source without additional tracking.

The app synchronizes subscriptions across devices through its own cloud service, allowing a single subscription to be accessed on any supported platform. Smart folders provide automated grouping of articles based on user‑defined criteria, enabling focused reading and notifications for specific topics or sources.

Elytra emphasizes privacy by collecting no user data and by removing embedded trackers from content. It offers a free tier limited to ten feeds, with optional subscription plans or a lifetime unlock to remove that restriction. The interface follows platform‑specific design guidelines, ensuring a consistent experience on all Apple devices.
