What Reeder is
Reeder is an inbox for reading, watching, and listening to content from multiple sources on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It brings RSS feeds, videos, podcasts, and social posts into one timeline, and syncs your place in that timeline across devices. Custom timelines can filter items by keywords, media type, or feed type. iCloud sync also covers subscriptions and tagged items. You can save links from outside the app through its share extension, provided iCloud for Reeder is enabled. The free plan is free and allows up to 10 feeds; it does not include Shared Feeds, certain Home timelines, or OPML import. The subscription is $1 a month, billed monthly, and covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Subscribers can turn tags into publicly accessible, auto-updating JSON feeds containing up to the last 50 tagged items. Reeder says it collects no personal information or usage data, apart from data Apple may collect if Share with Developers is enabled.
