FAQ.

An RSS reader and a reading list in one calm dashboard: subscribe to the feeds you follow, save any link you want to read later, and search across both.

The Front Page is a personalized digest of what's worth reading right now. The River is the full chronological stream of everything from your feeds, oldest or newest first.

It rebuilds once a day. It leads with your For You strip, then groups the rest by category: for each category we first pull in articles from the sources you've been reading or saving from lately, then top up with the freshest unread articles from that category's other sources so it's never empty. Nothing you've already been shown there gets repeated.

For You looks at what you've actually read and saved over the last 30 days to figure out which sources you care about most, saved articles count more than ones you've just read. It then pulls the freshest unread articles from those sources, ranks them by how strong that signal is, and shuffles the top picks into the strip so it's not in the same order every day.

A clean, in-app view of the full article — no ads, no distracting layout — extracted directly from the source page so you never have to leave MultivRSS to read.

Both. Search is unified across everything you subscribe to and everything you've saved, and you can filter results by category, time range, source, or read status.

Feeds sync automatically in the background. If you don't want to wait, there's also a manual sync button that refreshes everything right away.

With an email and password (you'll verify your email first), or by continuing with your Google or GitHub account.

No. MultivRSS doesn't run ads or analytics trackers, and doesn't sell or rent your data. A short list of service providers (like our error-monitoring tool) help us run the product — see the Privacy Policy for the full list.

Yes. The code is on GitHub (github.com/trnqeu/multivrss) under the MIT license, and SELF_HOSTING.md in the repository explains how to run your own copy with Docker.

Yes: go to Settings → Account in the dashboard and use Delete account in the danger zone. Your account and all its data are deleted immediately and cannot be recovered.

Not if fading is on for your account. Saved items you never come back to slowly fade: first they lose their description, then their title, and in the end they disappear. Anything you keep returning to stays. New accounts start with fading on; accounts created before it existed have it off until you turn it on in Settings → Account.

An item you never touch again loses its description after about ten weeks. After about five months it becomes a trace: no title, only the site it came from, the month you saved it and its tags. After about nine months it is gone. Every time you come back to an item, the clock slows down for it.

Use it. Opening a saved item, finding it with search, reading it in Reader Mode or editing its title and tags all give it more life, and reading counts the most. Coming back to something that was about to fade counts more than clicking it again and again while it is fresh. Each week, the Fading soon section at the top of your saved list shows what is about to lose something, with a Keep button for each item. There is no keep all: you choose one item at a time. Reading, searching or keeping an item also gives a little life to the saved items most closely related to it, by tags or words.

No. What fades is deleted from our database, with no undo and no hidden copy. Coming back to a faded item stops it from fading further, but it doesn't bring back what it already lost. One honest caveat: our database backups are kept for 30 days, so a forgotten link can still exist in a backup for up to 30 days before it is gone for good.

Its text belongs to the feed, so fading never deletes it: it only changes how the article shows in your saved list. When the save itself is forgotten, the article goes back to being an ordinary feed item and follows the usual rule for unsaved articles.

Yes, in Settings → Account. Turning it off stops all fading; anything already faded stays as it is. Turning it on later starts every saved item fresh. Links you import from Pocket, Instapaper or a CSV file also start fresh, whatever their original date.

Because we save everything, reread little and forget nothing, and a list that only grows stops being read. Knowing that an item can fade is what makes you come back to the ones that matter. MultivRSS is part of Undurable (undurable.com), a lab that takes infinity away from machines and observes what the end gives back.

MultivRSS is free to use. There's no paid plan today.

Two, and we'd rather tell you upfront: a maximum of 200 feeds per account, and an unsaved article is cleared about 90 days after it drops out of its source feed. What you save to your reading list stays for as long as you come back to it: see Saved items & fading above.

As long as the source feed still lists them, plus roughly 90 days after they fall off it. Save an article to your reading list any time before then and it stays saved for as long as you come back to it.

Possibly, but nothing is decided or live yet — the free tier isn't a time-limited trial. If that changes, we'll announce it clearly, here and elsewhere.

Any standard RSS or Atom feed URL. Plenty of sites without an obvious feed still expose one — see our Tips & Tricks page for URL tricks covering Google News, Substack, Reddit, YouTube, Medium, WordPress, GitHub, and more.

Yes — paste a channel URL (or a @handle) and MultivRSS resolves it to that channel's video feed automatically.

Yes, from Settings: export all your feed sources to CSV any time, or import a CSV file to bulk-add feeds (a URL column is required; category and title columns are optional).

Not yet — it's on our roadmap. The API it will use to add feeds and save articles already exists today.

Yes — MultivRSS is an installable app. On Android and desktop Chrome or Edge, look for "Install" in the browser menu. On iOS, use Safari's Share menu and choose "Add to Home Screen".
