rssPresso is a minimal, cross-platform news aggregator written in Flutter.
Import your favorite RSS/Atom feeds and start reading ahead. Load the full content of an article with a click of a button, or open it externally. You can star your article for later - and, when you're ready, simply filter your feed by saved or unread articles. Easily search your feeds to find what you want. Switch between different UI layouts to suit your needs.
Enjoy a modern Material design with a light & dark theme. Free and open source - for your freedom.
