Refeed

Refeed is an open-source RSS reader that aggregates feeds into a unified web and mobile experience. It combines feed reading with bookmark management, note-taking, and newsletter-to-RSS conversion to simplify content consumption and organization.

Key Features

• Timed Bookmarks: save items that automatically expire after a configurable time window to keep saved lists curated
• Filters: rule-based filters to hide or remove items by keywords, authors, or dates
• Bookmark Folders and Note-Taking: organize saved items into folders and attach notes directly to articles
• Mark Read on Scroll: automatically mark articles as read as users scroll through content
• Newsletter-to-RSS: provide unique email addresses to convert incoming newsletters into feed items
• Full Content Fetching: fetch and display full article content for sites that only expose excerpts
• Web and Mobile Clients: web frontend plus React Native mobile apps for cross-platform reading
• Built on standard backend stack with PostgreSQL for storage and Prisma for database access

Use Cases

• Centralize blogs, news sites, and newsletters into a single, searchable reading queue
• Use timed bookmarks and folders to manage reading lists, research, and reference material
• Convert newsletter subscriptions into feeds to isolate and archive newsletter content without cluttering a personal inbox

Limitations and Considerations

• Requires a PostgreSQL/Supabase backend and background job infrastructure for feed polling and content fetching, which may need tuning for large feed volumes
• Full-content extraction can be imperfect for complex or heavily scripted sites; some articles may not render perfectly

Refeed is suitable for individuals or small teams who want a privacy-conscious, self-hosted RSS platform with integrated bookmarking, notes, and newsletter handling.
