Fewfeed V2 <macOS>

V1’s mobile app was a web wrapper that drained battery. V2’s native app is lightning fast. Offline mode actually works—I downloaded 1,500 articles before a flight, and the read-later sync was flawless upon reconnection. The gesture controls (swipe left to summarize, right to archive) are intuitive. It’s replaced my morning Twitter scroll entirely.

You can now filter using traditional regex (for power users) OR natural language. I set a filter: "Only show me articles about 'AI regulation' if they mention 'EU' or 'California,' but hide anything that is just a press release." The LLM parses this with about 95% accuracy. I've cut my feed noise by 70%. Where FewFeed V2 Stumbles (The Frustrations) 1. The Pricing Tiers Feel Punitive FewFeed V2 starts at $8/mo for 100 feeds, which is fine. But to unlock the "Semantic De-dup" (the main feature), you need the Professional tier at $24/mo . To get the "Hybrid Mode" with LLM filters, that's $39/mo . For a solo power user, this is steep. I understand servers cost money, but hiding the core differentiator behind a mid-tier paywall feels like bait-and-switch. The free tier (20 feeds, no de-dup) is essentially useless.

I’ve been in the content aggregation game for nearly a decade. I cut my teeth on the original RSS, survived the death of Google Reader, and have tried every "modern" alternative from Feedly to Inoreader to self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS. My use case is niche but demanding: I monitor approximately 450 sources ranging from obscure security bulletins, arXiv paper releases, GitHub commit feeds, Substack newsletters, and Twitter lists. fewfeed v2

4.2/5

I’m keeping my subscription for another six months. If they fix the OPML import and add an export feature for read-later, it will be the undisputed king of feed aggregators. Until then, it’s a brilliant, expensive, and slightly temperamental beast.

I imported an OPML file with 200 feeds from Inoreader. FewFeed V2 choked. It duplicated 30 feeds, marked 15 as "invalid" (they worked fine elsewhere), and stripped all my folder hierarchies. Their support admitted this is a "known issue with nested tags." For a tool marketed as a "migration destination," this is embarrassing. I had to rebuild my 450-source list manually over a weekend. Not fun.
