yarr (yet another rss reader) is a web-based RSS/Atom feed aggregator that can run as a personal server and also be used like a desktop app. It is designed to be lightweight and easy to deploy, shipping as a single binary with an embedded database.
Key Features
- Web UI for reading and managing subscribed feeds
- Single-binary deployment with embedded SQLite storage
- Optional desktop/tray GUI builds for macOS and Windows (and CLI/server mode)
- Built-in server configuration flags for authentication and TLS
- Fever API support for compatibility with some RSS clients
Use Cases
- Personal RSS/Atom feed reading with a clean web interface
- Running a minimal RSS service on a small VPS, NAS, or home server
- Using Fever-compatible apps by connecting them to yarr’s API
Limitations and Considerations
- Focused on being lightweight; advanced team/collaboration features are not a primary goal
yarr is a good fit if you want a simple, fast RSS reader you can run as a standalone server with minimal dependencies. Its single-binary approach and embedded SQLite database make it especially convenient for low-maintenance deployments.
