Local-First RSS Reader

A no-signup, fully local RSS reader for Android with event clustering and TTS.

Problem

RSS power users can't find a reader that respects their privacy. Existing apps force account registration and sync data to third-party servers, or limit feed counts and refresh rates. Some users resort to building their own.

Solution

An Android-first RSS reader where all subscriptions, read states, and settings live only on the device—no backend, no account. It supports OPML import/export, full-text fetching, TTS read-aloud, and on-device AI clustering of similar news items.

Users

Privacy-conscious RSS power users, researchers, journalists, and indie developers who dislike cloud sync.

MVP

Local storage for subscriptions and read states; OPML import/export and batch add; full-text extraction; TTS read-aloud; on-device similar-news clustering using a small model.

Revenue

Freemium: basic free; Pro one-time purchase ($3.99) unlocks unlimited categories, clustering, and premium TTS; optional paid E2E-encrypted sync.

Why now

Data privacy and subscription fatigue are rising; local-first is a strong differentiator. On-device small models make clustering feasible without uploading data.
