The long-running, beautifully restrained RSS reader for macOS — sync with a feed service or read entirely on-device, with typography and gestures done right.
Reeder Classic is the version of Reeder many people never wanted to leave: a one-time-purchase RSS client that syncs with iCloud, Feedly, Feedbin, Inoreader and more, or runs completely on-device with no account at all.
Why it makes the list
RSS is having a quiet revival as people step back from algorithmic feeds, and Reeder has spent more than a decade as the best-looking, best-behaved reader on the Mac. The Classic release preserves that app with a permanent licence, separate from the newer, subscription-based Reeder.
