README

Rill

A native RSS reader for macOS and Linux, built in Rust with [GPUI](https://gpui.rs/) and [GPUI Kit](https://gpui-kit.com/). Subscriptions, articles, reading state, rules, and briefings live in a local SQLite database.

Read cached articles, search your library, and organize subscriptions without an account or server. AI, email, and connections from other RSS clients are optional. Rill has no telemetry.

Features

RSS, Atom, and JSON Feed subscriptions, website feed discovery, folders, and feed health.
Offline reading, full-text search, read/unread markers, stars, read-later, and undo.
Keyboard navigation, searchable views and commands, selectable text, light and dark themes, and adjustable text size.
Automatic full-article extraction and a separate news window over the same library.
Rules that star, mark read, or queue email for matching new articles.
Local digests or AI briefings, with optional scheduling and email delivery.
Newsletter import from .eml files and read-only IMAP polling.
OPML import/export, complete database backups, and a companion CLI.
Optional Google Reader/FreshRSS and Fever protocol adapters with revocable client keys.

Run from source

macOS is available as a source build. CI checks and downloadable build artifacts target Linux only.

Install the [platform prerequisites](docs/development.md#platform-prerequisites), then run:

cargo run --locked -p rill-desktop

For an isolated library with fictional articles:

cargo run --locked -p rill-desktop -- --data-dir /tmp/rill-demo --demo

Demo content is added only to an empty library. Its example URLs are placeholders. See [Using Rill](docs/usage.md#add-subscriptions) to add real subscriptions.

Build optimized binaries for daily use:

cargo build --locked --release --workspace

The desktop binary is `target/release/rill`; the companion command is `target/release/rill-cli`. Follow [Build and package](docs/development.md#build-and-package)
