Minimalist, opinionated RSS feed reader that is fast, lightweight, and written in Go — designed for long-term use.

Open source alternative to:

Miniflux is a minimalist and opinionated RSS feed reader written in Go. It is intentionally simple, fast, and focused on reading — there are no endless customization options or complex UI. The philosophy is that a good reading experience requires focus, not feature bloat.

Miniflux runs as a single Go binary with a PostgreSQL database, making deployment straightforward. It supports keyboard shortcuts for power users, Fever and Google Reader API compatibility (for mobile client apps), multiple users, content scraping for full article text, and integration with services like Pocket, Instapaper, and Pinboard.

For users tired of slow, feature-heavy RSS readers like Feedly, Miniflux offers a clean, performant alternative. It is especially popular among developers and technical users who appreciate its simplicity. Miniflux can be self-hosted for free, or a hosted version is available for a one-time fee.
