Chronological, not curated
Stories appear in the order they were published. Newest or oldest first is your choice — never a ranking you cannot see.
Native iOS RSS & Atom reader
Your news, in chronological order.
ChronoFeed is a clean, distraction-free feed reader for people who value their time. Add your favourite sources, set a refresh interval, and read the stories that matter — no algorithms, no ads, no noise.
Private by design
Feeds and articles stay on your device. Favicons load from each site’s own domain. There is no account and nothing to track.
Yours to take with you
Import and export OPML, including folders. Move your sources to Reeder, NetNewsWire, Feedly, or another copy of ChronoFeed.
Built for focused reading
Three tabs cover the whole app: Feed, Sources, and Settings. Everything else is a short tap away.
A polished news feed
Search, filter by All, Unread, Today, This Week, or Saved, and scan headlines with source names, reading time, and thumbnails.
Gestures that stay out of the way
Swipe left to mark read or unread. Swipe right to save. Long-press to share, copy the link, or change the read state.
Read in-app or in Safari
Open stories in a dark in-app browser, or switch on Open in Safari for Reader Mode and your extensions.
Sources you control
Paste a feed URL or a website. ChronoFeed discovers RSS and Atom feeds, groups them into categories, and lets you pause or rename any source.
Refresh on your schedule
Pull to refresh, pick an interval from 15 minutes to 24 hours, or fetch in the background. Quiet Hours keep banners silent overnight.
Help when you need it
A searchable User Guide, What’s New cards, Statistics, and first-launch onboarding with starter feeds for Tech, News, and more.
App screenshots
Swipe, use the arrows, or select a caption to move through the ChronoFeed screens.
Read on your own time
ChronoFeed is a native iOS app. Add your sources once, then let refresh, badges, and Quiet Hours keep the feed ready when you are.

FAQ
Short answers to the questions people ask before they subscribe to another reader.
What can I do with ChronoFeed?
Subscribe to RSS 2.0, Atom 1.0, and RDF RSS 1.0 feeds. Read them in one chronological list, save stories, organise sources into categories, and take your list with you as OPML.
Does ChronoFeed need an account?
No. Everything is stored on your iPhone with SwiftData. There is no sign-in, no cloud sync account, and no advertising profile.
Which devices does it support?
ChronoFeed is an iOS app for iPhone, targeting iOS 26.5 and later. An iPad split-view layout is not included yet.
Will I get notifications?
Yes, if you allow them. Background refresh can show a banner and a sound when new articles arrive, grouped in Notification Center. Quiet Hours and per-source mute keep that under control. The home-screen badge still updates during Quiet Hours.
Can I bring feeds from another reader?
Yes. Export OPML from Reeder, NetNewsWire, Feedly, or a similar app and import it in Sources. Folders become ChronoFeed categories.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 16, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how ChronoFeed ("the App"), developed and operated by inkaDesign Studio, handles information when you use the ChronoFeed iOS application.
We designed ChronoFeed as a personal feed reader with privacy in mind. ChronoFeed does not require an account, does not collect personal information, and does not send your personal data to us or to third parties.
1. Information We Collect
ChronoFeed does not collect or store personal information about you.
The App does not require you to create an account or provide information such as:
- Your name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Password
- Home address
- Date of birth
- Payment information
- Location data
- Contacts
- Photos or other personal files
ChronoFeed does not maintain a user database or user profile.
2. Internet Access
ChronoFeed requires Internet access to retrieve news and other content from the RSS feeds or other feed sources configured or selected by the user.
The App uses the Internet connection solely for retrieving and displaying feed content.
When ChronoFeed connects to a feed or website, that connection is made to the relevant third-party server. Those servers may receive standard technical information associated with an Internet request, such as an IP address, as part of normal Internet communication.
ChronoFeed does not control how third-party websites or feed providers process information received through their servers. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the websites and services whose feeds you access through ChronoFeed.
3. No User Accounts
ChronoFeed does not require registration or login.
There is no ChronoFeed account associated with your use of the App, and we do not collect credentials or authentication information from users.
4. Data Stored on Your Device
ChronoFeed may store certain application data locally on your iPhone or other Apple device in order to provide its functionality.
This may include information such as:
- Feed subscriptions or feed URLs
- App preferences and settings
- Reading status or other feed-related preferences
- Cached news or feed content
This information is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted by ChronoFeed to us.
5. Analytics and Tracking
ChronoFeed does not use third-party advertising trackers or behavioral tracking technologies.
We do not use your personal information for advertising, profiling, or targeted marketing.
ChronoFeed does not send usage information, reading history, subscribed feeds, or other personal data to our servers.
6. Advertising
ChronoFeed does not use advertising networks that require us to share your personal information.
We do not sell or rent user information to advertisers or other companies.
7. Third-Party Websites and Feed Providers
ChronoFeed may display content obtained from third-party RSS feeds, websites, or other online sources.
When retrieving such content, your device communicates directly with the relevant third-party servers. These third parties operate independently from ChronoFeed and may collect technical information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
ChronoFeed is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data handling practices of third-party websites or feed providers.
8. Children's Privacy
ChronoFeed does not knowingly collect personal information from children or from any other users.
Because the App does not require an account and does not collect personal information, there is no age-based personal information collection by ChronoFeed.
9. Data Security
Because ChronoFeed does not collect or transmit personal information to our servers, we do not maintain a database of ChronoFeed users' personal information.
Information stored locally by the App remains subject to the security of the user's Apple device and operating system.
10. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties because ChronoFeed does not collect personal information for these purposes.
The App may connect to third-party feed providers and websites when retrieving content requested by the user. Such connections are necessary for the core functionality of the App.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information under applicable privacy laws, including the right to access, correct, or delete personal information.
Because ChronoFeed does not collect personal information on our servers or maintain user accounts, there is generally no personal information held by us that can be accessed, corrected, or deleted.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to ChronoFeed, applicable laws, or our privacy practices.
When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
