3Feeds

Limited Distraction RSS App

Finding ways to doom scroll, waste time and have your life sucked away by the internet is EASY!

A difficult challenge these days is finding ways to access news, information, education, and entertainment on the Internet without being tempted by time-wasting clickbait.

This app displays the Titles from a maximum of 3 RSS Feeds and opens the item in the browser if you press/click it. That's all it does! No organizing, no summaries, no marking items read, no distractions, no ads, no suggested articles... And with a maximum of 3 RSS Feeds you can't add 'just one more feed'.

This app might seem pointless - there are already plenty of more functional RSS Readers that can do this and much more. I wrote this app so that I had somewhere to plug into a 'news' RSS feeds and have a single, no distractions, no temptations, way to check-in. The app is deliberately simple/minimal and deliberately boring...

The 3Feeds app does not monitor, record or report on any aspect of your app usage. Your feed links are stored on your local device - there is no cloud storage, sync or backup for your feeds or their contents.

This application uses the internet to retrieve your specified feeds and will transmit information in plain/clear text if the feed url is 'http'.
