Your feeds as a front page.
Feedboard sorts RSS, Atom and public Telegram channels into categories, with the latest headlines on top. Full text is one tap away. Summaries and translation are done by the iPhone itself, with no account and no server in between.

Built like a newspaper.
Feedboard sorts by category: news, tech, science or whatever else you set up. Each one shows what’s on top right now, headline after headline, set in a typeface made for reading.
If a feed only sends an excerpt, Load full text fetches the page and pulls the article out. For feeds that never send more than a teaser, you can switch that on for good.
Telegram channels are just feeds.
For much of the world, public Telegram channels are the news. Feedboard treats
them like any other source: type @channelname into the same field where a web
address would go, and the channel sits in the category next to your feeds.
Nobody needs to know the feed address; Feedboard finds it on the website by itself. From Telegram, the app reads the public preview, so no Telegram account is needed.
Translated on the iPhone, not in the cloud.
Every feed reader assumes you read in one language. Feedboard doesn’t: Russian, Polish, English and German sit in the same list, and one tap turns a foreign article into one in your language.
Translation and summaries run on Apple’s own on-device models. There’s no key to enter and no service to pay for, and no article text leaves the iPhone for it.
Apple’s model can only summarize in the languages Apple Intelligence supports, and Russian and Polish aren’t among them. Translation works for both.
Data Not Collected.
No account.
No sign-up, no email address. Open the app, add feeds, read.
No analytics.
What you read stays on the device. Sync between iPhone and iPad runs through your own iCloud and is off by default.
No subscription, no ads.
There’s a tip jar. It unlocks nothing; the app is the same before and after.
OPML, both ways. Bring your collection over from your old reader and take it back out any time. You’re not stuck here.
Hide by keyword. Anything containing one of the words shows up nowhere.
Saved and search. Keep what should stay, and find what you’ve seen before.
Widgets. The headlines of a category or a feed on your Home Screen.
Subscribe from Safari. Through the share sheet, straight from the page you have open.
Cleanup rules. Old articles clear themselves out. Saved ones never do.
Feeds that take a rest. A feed that fails many times in a row pauses instead of hammering a dead server. One tap wakes it up.
Four app icons. Rust, Paper, Night, and Rust once more, large.
iOS 26. Feedboard runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 26. Summaries also need a device that supports Apple Intelligence.
No Mac. There’s no Mac version, and none is planned for now.
The safety filter. Apple’s model reliably refuses to summarize reports of war, violence and crime — the news, in other words. Feedboard can’t switch it off; the article stays fully readable either way.
Public Telegram channels only. Private groups and channels with join requests would need a Telegram account, and the app doesn’t have one.
The first translation. iOS downloads a language pack once per language pair. After that, it works offline too.
Made by one person.
I read the news in four languages, and every reader I tried quietly assumed I read in one. Feedboard grew out of that: a hobby project with no profit motive, no investors and no plan to turn your data into money.
