lire

lire is an RSS reader by Kunal Sood built around one idea: many feeds only publish a summary of each post, and lire fetches and caches the full text so you can read whole articles inside the app instead of clicking through to a website. Once articles are cached they can be read without a connection. It works as a standalone reader with iCloud sync, or with a long list of feed services including Feedly, Feedbin, Inoreader, NewsBlur, The Old Reader, BazQux Reader, FreshRSS, Miniflux, Nextcloud News and Tiny Tiny RSS. Version 7.0 brought updates for iOS 27, article summaries with Apple Intelligence, on-device translation of articles using Apple's translation models, the option to log in to paywalled sites to retrieve full text, a reworked text-extraction engine and a new list layout style. Version 7.1.0, released on October 12, 2026, added support for iPhone Duo along with extra-large home screen widgets on iOS 27 and resizing when used through iPhone Mirroring on a Mac. lire is a paid download, with additional in-app purchases listed on the App Store. It suits readers who follow sites with truncated feeds and want a reading experience that does not depend on a browser.
