Skim: RSS Reader for FreshRSS

Skim is an RSS reader for people who run their own FreshRSS or Miniflux server. Read an article on your phone and it is marked read on your server too. The unread counts match, and "mark all as read" only marks what you have actually seen. Enter your server address, sign in, and start reading. Skim talks to FreshRSS through the Google Reader API and to Miniflux through its own native API. There is no Skim account, no cloud of ours and no tracking. SEE WHAT IS NEW AT A GLANCE Open Skim and one big number tells you how much is waiting. Below it you get Unread, Today, Starred and All articles, then your folders and feeds. Swipe an article one way to mark it read, the other way to star it. Pull down to refresh, or let Skim sync in the background. Search finds any article on your phone by title or preview. READS LIKE A GOOD BOOK Articles are set in Literata, a serif made for long reading, or in Roboto Flex if you prefer sans. Choose the text size, the line spacing and a light, dark or sepia page. Move to the next article with one tap. When a feed only sends a teaser, tap "Load full article" and the whole story opens in the reader. OFFLINE READING Skim downloads the full text and images of new articles in the background, over Wi-Fi by default, so they open on the train or on a plane. Reading, starring and marking articles works without a connection too. Skim sends your changes to the server in order as soon as you are back online. READ ALOUD Tap Read aloud and your phone's text-to-speech engine reads the article to you. It keeps playing with the screen off, so you can listen while you cook or walk. HOME SCREEN WIDGET The Unread widget shows your count and the newest unread articles. Tap one to open it. KEEP YOUR FEED YOURS Save any search as a view and it appears on the home screen with its own unread count. Add muted words, and matching articles are marked as read when they arrive. Starred articles are never touched. Found something worth keeping? Save it to Stash with one tap. MADE FOR SELF-HOSTERS Skim works with a server on your home network, even over plain http, and with servers that use your own certificates. Because unread counts are worked out on your phone, they stay right even when the server number lags behind. FEELS LIKE ANDROID Built natively with Material 3 Expressive: springy motion, bold type, a dark mode and optional colors from your wallpaper. Skim is available in English and Polish. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING. PAY ONCE. No ads, no analytics, no trackers. Everything is free for 7 days. After that, one payment (EUR 4.99 or the local equivalent) unlocks Skim for good. There is no subscription. If you do not unlock it, you can still read everything already on your phone, and your starred articles; only new articles stop arriving. You need your own FreshRSS server (with API access turned on) or a Miniflux server. Skim is the feed reader and news reader that connects to it. WHAT SKIM DOES NOT DO (YET) Skim reads and syncs; it does not manage your server. Add, rename and organize feeds in FreshRSS or Miniflux, and Skim picks up the changes on the next sync. It supports one account at a time, has no OPML import, and works only with FreshRSS and Miniflux, so there is no Fever API or hosted-service support. There are no AI summaries.
