Capy Reader

A smallish RSS reader with support for Feedbin, FreshRSS, Miniflux and local feeds.

[Tests]

Download

Capy Reader is free across all sources. It is available for devices running Android 11 or later.

Releases

  • Google Play and F-Droid releases happen every week or so depending on new features, bugfixes and translations.
  • Nightly releases are a separate package marked with a "-nightly" suffix. These are unstable, untested builds.

Reporting a bug

Bug reports are always welcome and are a top priority. Please search the discussions first and issues to make sure the bug is new and hasn't been reported yet.

If you're in doubt or run into an unreported issue, go ahead and submit a bug report. Please include details like app version, OS version, and steps to reproduce the bug. Screenshots are also useful!

Feature Requests

If you have questions or a general feature request, please post them to discussions as a feature request.

Full Content Support

Sometimes Capy's full content mode doesn't work as expected on a site due to the chaos of the web.

When this happens, please submit a separate issue to support full content for that site: Full Content Request form

Writing and verifying full content parsers can be time consuming. If you find this useful, consider donating to show your support.

Roadmap

Translations are hosted on Weblate and are open to everyone to add or update translations. If you don't see your language, feel free to add it!

Pull Requests

If you want to create a pull request please ask first. This will save time in review, and save your time writing code if it doesn't fit for the app.
