Unread for Mac is now available from the Mac App Store. Unread for Mac incorporates every Unread capability that makes sense on Mac including:
- Beautiful typography
- Color themes
- Great search functionality
- Handling of summary-only feeds
- Syncing via Unread Cloud, Feedbin, Feedly, Fever, Inoreader, and NewsBlur
- The Subscribe in Unread share extension
- The Save to Unread share extension (subscription required)
- Widgets
- Handling of link articles
Unread for Mac is a native Mac app. The user interface is built with AppKit and a touch of SwiftUI. There are some ways in which Unread for Mac goes beyond Unread for iPhone and iPad.
Search Suggestion Menu
Unread for Mac includes a search suggestion menu. When you search articles for a term and one or more of your feed titles match that term, Unread will present a search suggestion menu letting you select a matching feed in the source list. This is convenient when you subscribe to a large number of feeds and you want to quickly get to articles from a specific feed.
Switching Between Feed Text and Webpage Text
Like on iPhone and iPad, on Mac you can easily switch between showing feed text, webpage text, or both for an individual article. After doing so, you are prompted to apply that change to other articles from the same feed.
On Mac you have the ability to see the result of that change on the current article before applying it to other articles from the same feed. After switching the display mode, the prompt to apply that change to other articles from the same feed is at the top of the article. This lets you see the result of the display mode change before deciding whether to apply it to other articles from the same feed.
Bulk Subscription Management
Unread for Mac makes it easy to move subscriptions between folders or tags via drag and drop. You can unsubscribe from a set of feeds quickly by selecting them and choosing Unsubscribe… from the context menu or pressing the Delete key.
Viewing Images Fullscreen
Like on iPhone and iPad, you can click any image in an article to view it fullscreen. When viewing an image fullscreen, Unread for Mac will retrieve and display a higher resolution version of that image when one is available.
iPhone and iPad Update
Unread 4.0 is also available for iPhone and iPad. Its default app icon has a graphite background color, similar to that of Unread for Mac. In-app text and help articles have been updated to reflect the release of Unread for Mac.
Unread has the 4.0 version number across platforms. I intend to keep the version numbers in sync when feasible.
Premium Features
Unread is a free app. Premium features are available with a subscription.
A single subscription unlocks premium features on all platforms: Mac, iPhone, and iPad. If you are already a subscriber to Unread’s premium features on iPhone and iPad, those premium features are available on Unread for Mac at no additional charge. There is no change to the renewal price for current subscribers.
Privacy Policy Updates
I made these changes to the Unread Privacy Policy:
- I replaced the term “share sheet extension” with “share extension,” to reflect that share extensions on Mac do not use a share sheet.
- I updated the link to the NewsBlur Privacy Policy.
