No engagement mechanics, no infinite recommendations - just the sites you chose, presented well.</p> <h2>Groups keep feeds manageable</h2> <p>A subscription list grows fast. uRSS lets you organize feeds into <strong>groups</strong> - 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.</p> <h2>Gestures do the heavy lifting</h2> <p>Most reading actions in uRSS are a swipe away:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Swipe to mark as read</strong> - clear items without leaving the list.</li> <li><strong>Swipe to favorite</strong> - save something for later in one motion.</li> <li><strong>Long-press context menus</strong> - share, open in browser, or mark a whole feed read.</li> </ul> <p>These sound small, but they add up. Triaging a morning's worth of articles takes seconds, not minutes.</p> <p>The list view includes</p> <h2>Typography and themes</h2> <p>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.</p> <h2>Try it</h2> <p>uRSS is available for iPhone today.
