Self-hosted and built around long reading, Omnivore saves articles, newsletters, and PDFs, renders web pages as clean text, remembers your place, and keeps every highlight searchable. Pages arrive from the web app's Add button or from Chrome and Firefox extensions that authenticate with an API key. Newsletters arrive through generated email addresses once an IMAP watcher or another mail bridge is set up. PDFs open in the same reader and accept highlights and notes just like articles. Labels, saved searches, and filters such as subscription:"Name" make a big library easy to slice. The RSS section follows your feeds, lets you add a story to the library or hide it, and can sort stories into topics when an OpenAI key is configured. Custom extractors scroll lazy-loaded pages, follow paginated articles, and strip pop-ups before saving. Rules trigger webhooks when pages are created or updated, which suits automatic labelling and other custom workflows. E-ink reading settings add double-tap page turns and volume-button scrolling, and Android and iOS apps sync the same library.

AIHOT is a self-hosted engine for running your own AI news site: it watches the sources you choose, scores every story twice, and publishes only the coverage worth reading. Point it at RSS feeds, web list pages, JSON APIs, X accounts, WeChat public accounts, or content pushed in by scripts, polled on schedules you control. After deduplication and pre-screening, every story faces two independent scoring passes under the same rubric, so one generous run cannot wave a weak story through. Coverage of the same story clusters into one event across the last two weeks, so forty outlets on one launch read as a single developing story. Hotness is measured per event: each source counts once per 48 hours and its weight halves daily, so repeat posting cannot inflate the ranking. Digests compile on schedule: a daily edition at 08:00, a weekly review on Mondays, and a monthly rollup on the first, assembled by rules without model calls. Readers browse topic pages by company, research direction, and content form, search titles, summaries, and full text, and keep local favorites with export and import. From the admin backend you can test sources, correct scores by hand, calibrate selection against labeled samples, and swap the model behind each pipeline step. Output flows through RSS, a public API, MCP, agent Markdown, and llms.txt, so humans and AI agents can subscribe.

Follow every blog, newsletter, and news site you like from one distraction-free inbox with the self-hosted Fusion RSS reader, which has no AI features by design. A left sidebar lists feed groups with unread counts and jumps between Unread, Starred, and All, while the center list shows articles under filter tabs with read and star buttons on every card. Click a card and a right-hand drawer opens with the full sanitized article, a link to the original, and Previous and Next buttons. Press Cmd or Ctrl+K, or the slash key, to search feeds and articles from anywhere. Stay on the keyboard with Google Reader-style keys such as j and k to move, m to mark read, s to star, and g then u to jump to Unread; the question mark lists them all. Add a feed by entering a site address and letting auto-discovery find it, then pick its group, refresh frequency, and HTTP proxy, or suspend it to pause updates. OPML import and export bring subscriptions in or out. Starred articles are saved as snapshots that outlive their source feed. Fever API compatibility lets Reeder, Unread, and FeedMe read the same library. Sign in with a password or OIDC single sign-on, and install the interface as a PWA with Light, Dark, and System themes in eight languages. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Ech0 is a self-hosted personal microblog that gives you a public timeline of short posts, links, and media on your own domain, with no ads, algorithms, or subscription in the way. Write in a Markdown editor with live preview, organize posts with tags, and let links and GitHub projects unfurl into rich cards while Bilibili and YouTube videos play inline. Attach images, audio, and video to any post, browse them in an inline gallery with built-in players, and manage uploads in a visual file manager. Visitors can like, share, and comment, you moderate from the panel with captcha protection, and RSS lets readers follow without an account. Sign in with passkeys, OAuth2, or OIDC, issue scoped access tokens, and run extra accounts under Owner, Admin, and regular roles. Media can sit on local disk or any S3-compatible bucket, and snapshots, scheduled backups, and portable capsules move the whole timeline to another instance or compile it into a static site. Ech0 Copilot recaps recent posts in one click and lets you chat with your own archive, while an MCP server, webhooks, and a documented API connect AI assistants and automations. Follow live logs in a web console, administer from a terminal UI or CLI, and install it as a PWA with dark mode and multiple languages.

One statically-compiled Go binary over PostgreSQL, no ORM, no framework, static assets embedded in the executable: Miniflux is the minimalist, opinionated feed reader. The opinions are the feature: page layout, fonts, and colors are tuned for reading, and everything else is treated as noise. It consumes Atom, RSS, and JSON Feed formats with OPML import/export, organizes articles with categories and bookmarks, fetches original full-text content for summary-only feeds, and provides Postgres-powered full-text search. Privacy work happens automatically: pixel trackers are stripped, tracking parameters removed from URLs, a media proxy blocks third-party tracking, referrers are never forwarded, and there is zero telemetry. Navigation is keyboard-first - j/k through items, o to open, f to star - with touch gestures on mobile. Podcast, video, and music enclosures are supported, and YouTube videos play inline. Over 25 integrations save articles onward to Wallabag, Readwise Reader, Pinboard, Linkding, Instapaper, Notion, Telegram, Matrix, Ntfy, and more, plus webhooks and a REST API with Go and Python clients; the Google Reader API endpoint supports existing mobile reader apps. Authentication spans local passwords, passkeys (WebAuthn), Google OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and reverse-proxy headers. It is Apache 2.0 licensed, translated into 20 languages, and updates feeds on an internal scheduler.

With over 35,000 GitHub stars in just two years, Glance has become the most popular self-hosted dashboard project on GitHub, outpacing established alternatives like Homarr and Homepage. Built as a single Go binary under 20MB with minimal JavaScript and zero external dependencies, Glance delivers a blazing-fast personal information dashboard that consolidates your entire digital morning routine into one beautiful page. Configure everything through clean YAML files that support modular includes and environment variable interpolation, with automatic hot-reload that applies changes without restarting the server. The widget ecosystem covers RSS and Atom feeds, Reddit and Hacker News frontpages, YouTube channel subscriptions, GitHub release timelines, weather forecasts from Open-Meteo, stock market quotes, Docker container status, Twitch live streams, calendar events via iCal, site monitor uptime checks, and custom HTML or iframe embeds. A community widgets repository extends functionality even further with user-contributed integrations. The theming system provides light, dark, and custom color schemes with multiple layout options including slim and wide column configurations. Authentication support added in 2025 secures access with username and password protection. Preconfigured page templates let you get started in seconds with curated layouts for development, homelab monitoring, news reading, and entertainment tracking. Deploy via Docker Compose or as a standalone binary on Linux, macOS, or Windows across AMD64 and ARM64 architectures.

RSS-Bridge gives a feed to every website that never offered one, so social profiles, video channels, and news pages become subscriptions for any feed reader. Pick a bridge, enter a username or search term, and the generated URL returns Atom, JSON, HTML, MRSS, plaintext, or Sfeed output. Dedicated bridges cover YouTube channels and playlists, public Telegram channels, Reddit users and subreddits, Mastodon instances, Twitch channels, TikTok accounts, SoundCloud users, and Rumble channels. When a site has no bridge, CssSelectorBridge and XPathBridge scrape its pages into a feed from the CSS selectors or XPath expressions you provide. FilterBridge keeps or drops items by keyword, FeedMergeBridge folds several feeds into one stream, and FeedReducerBridge thins out noisy sources. Caching keeps upstream services from banning your server for repeated updates, and a token or HTTP basic authentication keeps a private instance closed to strangers. The enabled_bridges setting limits which bridges appear in the menu, and a failing bridge reports its error as a feed item, so your reader notifies you the moment one breaks. A new bridge is one small class file dropped into the bridges folder, and a mounted config folder carries your custom settings across container restarts.

With 12,800+ GitHub stars and over a decade of active development since 2013, wallabag is the most established open-source read-it-later application — built for readers who want complete ownership of their article archive without depending on services that shut down (RIP Pocket). The Symfony-based PHP application extracts clean article content using Graby and php-readability, stripping advertisements, pop-ups, and tracking scripts to deliver a distraction-free reading experience optimized for both desktop and mobile screens. Save articles via Chrome, Firefox, or Safari browser extensions, Android and iOS native apps, REST API, or the built-in bookmarklet — all syncing to your self-hosted instance. Organize your library with tags, automated tagging rules that classify articles by content patterns, starred favorites, and archived collections. The annotation system enables highlighting extracts and attaching notes directly within articles for research and reference workflows. Import your existing reading lists from Pocket, Omnivore, Instapaper, Pinboard, Readability, and browser bookmarks. Export articles in PDF, ePUB, MOBI, JSON, CSV, TXT, or HTML for offline reading on Kindle, Kobo, and other e-readers. Full-text search with filters by reading time, domain, language, and creation date makes retrieval instant across thousands of saved articles. RSS feed output integrates with feed readers and automation services. Docker deployment with SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL persistence backends takes under five minutes. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Redlib lets you read Reddit without an account, ads, or trackers, through a clean page served from a machine you control. Open any subreddit, user profile, or comment thread and the server fetches the content and relays every image and video itself, so your browser never talks to Reddit directly. Pages need no JavaScript, unless you opt in to HLS video playback with sound. Choose card, clean, or compact layouts, a wide interface, and one of more than a dozen themes, from Dracula and Nord to Gruvbox and Tokyo Night. Post and comment sorting, a search box scoped to the current subreddit, a wiki tab, and subreddit filters help you find and tame your feed. Subscriptions build a personal home page with no login. Spoilers and NSFW previews can be blurred or hidden, and an SFW-only mode blocks mature content for the whole instance. Optional RSS feeds let a feed reader follow subreddits. Links to removed posts open in a configurable undelete viewer. Operators set defaults through environment variables, add an instance banner, discourage search indexing, and route outbound traffic through an HTTP or SOCKS proxy. Settings live in a browser cookie and can be exported or imported between devices. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Information overload is the default state of the modern internet, and Glean exists to tame it by pulling every blog, newsletter, and news source you follow into a single, organized reading experience with an interface that prioritizes clarity over clutter. Subscribe to RSS and Atom feeds, import your existing subscriptions via OPML, and organize everything into multi-level folders with a flexible tagging system that lets you slice your reading list by topic, priority, or mood. A three-pane layout presents your feed list, article summaries, and full content side by side, with one-click actions for marking articles as read, saving them for later, bookmarking favorites, or archiving what you have already processed. Background workers fetch new articles every 15 minutes so your feeds stay current without manual refreshes. The preference learning engine (backed by Milvus vector embeddings) scores incoming articles against your reading history and surfaces a personalized Smart Feed of content you are most likely to care about, reducing the time spent scrolling past irrelevant posts. A built-in MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude Desktop search and interact with your feed library directly. The admin dashboard on a separate port provides user management, system monitoring, and configuration controls for multi-user deployments. Bookmark external URLs from any browser with the Chrome extension, or access your feeds on mobile through the Progressive Web App. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

CommaFeed delivers the Google Reader experience on your own infrastructure with modern performance characteristics. The Quarkus-based Java backend compiles to native code via GraalVM, achieving sub-second cold starts and 50MB memory footprint — a fraction of traditional JVM RSS readers. Four distinct layouts (title-only, expanded, magazine, and card) with light and dark themes adapt to any reading style, while comprehensive keyboard shortcuts cover navigation, marking, starring, and feed management without touching a mouse. The Fever-compatible API and newly added Google Reader API connect native iOS and Android apps (Reeder, Unread, FeedMe, ReadKit) directly to your instance. Per-feed push notifications through ntfy, Gotify, or Pushover alert you to new articles instantly. The visual query builder for automatic read-marking rules replaces raw expression syntax with an intuitive condition editor supporting title, content, author, and URL matching. OPML import and export enable seamless migration from any RSS service. Custom CSS and JavaScript injection let power users completely restyle the interface, while the browser extension adds one-click subscription from any website. Docker images for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 with H2 embedded database require zero configuration to start. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Where Miniflux strips reading down, FreshRSS gives you knobs - the feature-rich pole of self-hosted RSS, comfortable with thousands of feeds. It's a multi-user PHP aggregator (host family and friends on one instance, with an anonymous reading mode) with the reading workflow refined over a decade: favorites, custom tags, powerful filter and search queries, three reading views, and statistics that reveal each site's publishing frequency - useful for pruning subscriptions. Two properties make it the standard choice. First, the Google Reader-compatible API (plus a Fever API) syncs with virtually every serious RSS client - Reeder, NetNewsWire, ReadYou, FeedMe, Fluent Reader - so your phone reads from your server. Second, native WebSub support means compatible sources (WordPress, Blogger, Medium, Friendica) push new articles instantly instead of waiting for polling. A 50+ extension ecosystem adds what truncated feeds omit - full-text content fetching, reading-time estimates, trending views, auto-unsubscribe for dead feeds - alongside community themes and custom CSS. OPML import/export keeps subscriptions portable, a CLI handles administration, and article sharing posts to many services. AGPL-licensed, running on SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. Feedly Pro's feature set, minus Feedly's subscription and its algorithms.

Staying on top of hundreds of RSS feeds is impossible when every reader just dumps articles in chronological order. RSSMonster takes a different approach: it evaluates, scores, and prioritizes every article so the signal rises above the noise. The three-pane reading interface automatically marks articles as read when you scroll past them, while the built-in quality scoring engine rates content by freshness, originality, trust, and attention metrics. Compose advanced search expressions using field operators like star:true, quality:>0.6, hot:true, and date filters like @today or @lastweek, then save those expressions as persistent Smart Folders for one-click access to curated views. Semantic event clustering groups related articles across sources so you see one coherent story instead of fifteen duplicates. Connect your favorite mobile client through the Fever API (supporting Reeder for iOS) or the Google Reader API (compatible with News+, FeedMe, Vienna RSS, and ReadKit). The AI chat assistant powered by the Model Context Protocol lets you ask questions about your feed content and get summarized answers. Import your existing subscriptions via OPML, switch between light and dark themes, and install the app as a Progressive Web App for offline reading. On RepoCloud, deploy RSSMonster on a dedicated VPS with root SSH access, full data ownership, and persistent storage under the MIT license.

The antidote to doomscrolling: Upvote RSS turns Reddit, Hacker News, Lemmy, Lobsters, PieFed, Mbin, and trending GitHub repositories into calm, filtered RSS feeds. The MIT-licensed PHP app's killer feature is intelligent filtering: beyond simple score thresholds, the "posts per day" filter analyzes a community's recent history and computes the score cutoff that yields your target volume - say, exactly three r/technology posts daily - while a percentage-based threshold mode stays consistent as communities grow. Feeds are rich, not bare links: parsed full-article content via Readability (with optional Readability.js, Mercury, or Browserless for JavaScript-heavy pages), embedded videos and image galleries, top-voted comments with pinned-moderator filtering, scores, reading-time estimates, and optional AI summaries through Ollama, OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Mistral, DeepSeek, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint - with automatic provider fallback. A web UI builds the feed URL interactively with live preview; paste the result into any RSS reader. Reddit support includes custom domains like old.reddit.com plus NSFW filtering and blurring. Caching via filesystem, Redis, or APCu keeps repeated fetches cheap and avoids re-running paid summarizations.

Subscribe to a feed and Oksskolten fetches the complete text of every new article, cleans it, and files it as Markdown in a library you can read without leaving the app. About 500 cleanup patterns strip ads, navigation, and tracking, with no per-feed toggles or selectors to maintain. No feed on the site? Auto-discovery goes first, then RSS Bridge, then LLM-inferred CSS selectors, while FlareSolverr gets past bot protection. Every feed is checked on its own schedule, somewhere between every 15 minutes and every 4 hours. Inbox, Read Later, Liked, and Read views keep the queue tidy. Clip any URL as a standalone article. Likes and bookmarks feed an engagement score that shapes search ranking and recommendations. One click summarizes or translates an article through Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, Ollama, or vLLM, with Google Translate and DeepL as translation engines. Ask the chat questions about your archive, or point Claude Code or Codex at the built-in MCP server to use the same tools. Search forgives typos and covers every stored article. Login works with a password, a passkey, or GitHub. Pick from four layouts and fourteen color themes, import custom themes as JSON, rebind keyboard shortcuts, and keep reading offline as a progressive web app. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Podcast enthusiasts and homelab archivers automate digital episode preservation and stream personal audio feeds using PodFetch, an open-source self-hosted podcast manager that combines scheduled RSS downloads, Podcasting 2.0 transcript indexing, and browser playback into a modern listening platform. Listeners can subscribe to international podcast channels through direct feed URLs, Apple Podcasts directory searches, or bulk OPML subscription imports, configuring background polling timers to download new releases automatically upon publication. The integrated audio player supports variable speed playback, episode bookmarks, listening histories, and fullscreen visualization modes directly inside responsive desktop and mobile browser sessions. Advanced search capabilities leverage Podcasting 2.0 synchronized transcripts and automated speech-to-text generation via OpenAI-compatible Whisper APIs, allowing collectors to run full-text keyword searches across every spoken phrase in their audio archive. Built-in GPodder API synchronization maintains subscription lists and playback positions across popular smartphone apps like AntennaPod and native companion clients without relying on commercial cloud accounts. Server operators can assign multi-user accounts with private favorites lists, export customized RSS aggregation streams, and route storage paths between fast solid-state drives and large secondary mechanical hard disks.
