Full description
Northstar is a fast, private RSS and Atom feed reader that keeps your news local — no accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking. Follow anything. Subscribe to blogs, news sites, podcasts, and YouTube channels from a single app. Paste any website URL and Northstar automatically finds its RSS or Atom feed. ────────────────────────────── ON-DEVICE AI ────────────────────────────── Every article is automatically summarised and tagged using on-device AI — no data ever leaves your device. On supported Android devices, Northstar uses Gemini Nano to generate concise two-sentence summaries and smart topic tags (Technology, AI, Finance, Science, Health, Politics, Sports, and more). On older devices a fast local keyword engine runs instead, so the feature works everywhere. ────────────────────────────── ORGANISED & FAST ────────────────────────────── • Unread, Today, Starred, and All Items smart streams always front and centre • Organise feeds into custom folders • Swipe through articles with full-screen reader view • Inline YouTube player — watch videos without leaving the app • Search across all your articles instantly ────────────────────────────── IMPORT, EXPORT & BACKUP ────────────────────────────── • Import OPML files from Feedly, NetNewsWire, Reeder, or any RSS app • Export your subscription list as OPML to share or migrate • One-tap backup to Google Drive, or any Files-compatible location • Full restore from backup — your feeds, articles, and read state ────────────────────────────── PRIVATE BY DESIGN ────────────────────────────── No account required. Your subscriptions and reading history never leave your phone. AI processing happens entirely on-device. Northstar is inspired by the simplicity of NetNewsWire and built for readers who want speed, privacy, and intelligence in one app.
