Flux News
Your feeds. No algorithm.
Reading, the way it used to be.
A beautifully native client for your Miniflux server — no ads, no tracking, no feed-of-the-day recommendations.
Native on every Apple device
Pure SwiftUI, zero third-party dependencies. Fast on launch, fast between articles, at home on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Privacy by design
No analytics SDKs. No trackers. No telemetry. Flux News connects only to your Miniflux server — nothing else.
Real reader view
Strip out clutter and render articles in a clean, theme-aware layout. Pull full content with Miniflux's crawler mode when the feed is only a snippet.
Listen to articles
Built-in text-to-speech with voice selection. Pause, resume, and stop from inside the article view — perfect for commutes.
Keyboard-first on Mac
Comprehensive menu-bar shortcuts for every action. Refresh, navigate, star, mark read, or fetch original content without touching the mouse.
Folders, stars, search
Full category management, starred-article view, and fast full-text search across all your feeds.
The client your self-hosted server deserves.
Point Flux News at your Miniflux instance, drop in your API token, and you're reading. Everything — read state, stars, folders, unread counts — syncs through Miniflux itself. No second account. No second source of truth.
- Connect with a Miniflux URL + API token
- Per-feed, per-folder, and total unread counts
- Read state, stars, and folder changes sync instantly
- Supports Miniflux's full-content crawler for snippet feeds
From lock screen to desktop.
Lock-screen and home-screen widgets show your unread count and latest articles at a glance. On iPad and Mac, Flux News expands into a full three-pane layout with keyboard shortcuts for everything.
- Small, medium, and large home-screen widgets
- Unread count badge widget (refreshes every 15 min)
- iPhone edge-swipe to jump between articles
- Full iPad split view and Mac multi-column layout
- Share extension to subscribe to feeds from Safari
Why another RSS reader?
Because the good ones keep vanishing into subscriptions, algorithms, or acquisitions — and Miniflux deserves a first-class native client on every Apple device.
Flux News is that client. No cloud account to create. No “For You” feed. No recommendations from sources you didn’t pick. Just the feeds you subscribed to, rendered quickly and cleanly, synced through the Miniflux server you already trust.
If you already run Miniflux, Flux News is a 30-second setup. If you don’t, it’s the nudge to finally own your reading experience.
