Designing the uRSS Reading Experience
When we set out to build uRSS, we had a simple goal: reading your feeds should feel calm. No engagement mechanics, no infinite recommendations - just the sites you chose, presented well.
Groups keep feeds manageable
A subscription list grows fast. uRSS lets you organize feeds into groups - News, Tech, Friends, whatever fits your reading life - so you can sweep through one context at a time instead of facing a single overwhelming inbox.
Gestures do the heavy lifting
Most reading actions in uRSS are a swipe away:
- Swipe to mark as read - clear items without leaving the list.
- Swipe to favorite - save something for later in one motion.
- Long-press context menus - share, open in browser, or mark a whole feed read.
These sound small, but they add up. Triaging a morning’s worth of articles takes seconds, not minutes.
The list view includes
Typography and themes
Reading is a visual activity, so uRSS ships with carefully tuned type settings and full support for iOS light and dark appearance - including alternate fonts for people who prefer a different reading voice. The app follows your system setting automatically, the same way this website does.

uRSS is available for iPhone today. Learn more on the uRSS page, and if you have feedback, we’d love to hear it.
