Reeder corrals articles from your favourite websites into one place, making it easy to speed through content from across the web. And the app’s beautiful and customisable interface helps you enjoy (and share) the stories worth slowing down for.

What we love: How Reeder lets you breeze through hundreds of RSS feeds and articles, as well as your Instapaper and Pocket queues. Automatic Reader View formats the full text of articles for clutter-free reading; Bionic Reading mode optionally formats text (by bolding certain characters, for example) to facilitate skimming; the Mark As Read on Scroll option automatically marks articles as read as you scroll through article lists; and single-key shortcuts (no Command or Option required) make performing common actions quick and easy. Your subscriptions – including the read/unread status of each article – sync across Reeder on your Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Quick tip: Reeder lets you customise everything from article font to headline formatting to the size of image previews. Don’t like the animation when flipping from article to article? Speed it up, slow it down or disable it completely. Customise the toolbar to add shortcut buttons for Pocket, Instapaper, Twitter clients and more. And choose your preferred key for any shortcut.

Meet the creator: Swiss developer Silvio Rizzi began working on Reeder (an amalgamation of “feed reader”) in 2009. One of his favourite features, borrowed from his recipe-saving app Mela, is better presentation of recipes: Reader View automatically detects the data from an embedded recipe (images, cook times, servings, ingredients, instructions, notes) and formats it for easier reading while cooking.
