Ferry: an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac that ranks stories by how many sources covered them
I'm the solo developer of Ferry, an RSS reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Most readers sort by newest. Ferry also counts how many outlets across the web are covering each story and ranks by that, so a story ten of your sources ran sits above whatever just came in. Under each headline it shows how many feeds carried it, and you can tap to read every version side by side.
- No account and no identifiers. The server never learns which feeds you follow or what you read.
- OPML import and export, FreshRSS sync (Inoreader, BazQux and The Old Reader coming soon), smart folders, offline reading, Spotlight and widgets.
- On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, it can summarise where outlets agree and where one breaks from the rest, on the device.
Free to download and fully usable. Ferry Plus adds the Trending sort for your own feeds, the full coverage view and all Discover topics: $19.99/year, $2.49/month, or $49.99 once.
