Hello, I just released NewsNinja a free RSS reader app, available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro (MacOS coming soon).

I was a bit annoyed by reading the same story reposted over and over by every news outlet so I tried to find a way to group them together.
NewsNinja allows to group similar articles, optimizing the reading time.

Main features:
- RSS Feeds
- Default to reader mode, ability to view original or open in Safari
- Group similar articles (customizable by selecting 3 different algorithms and treshold)
- Summarize article (currently using OpenAI, this is a paid features since it relies on paid APIs)
- Various configuration options to optimize and customize your reading experience

Other than for the summarizing feature, the app is free to use, I hope someone finds it useful.

Privacy: I use firebase to collect analytics on app usage and crashes, there is no account required and no personal data is collected.

It uses Apple Cloudkit.
So if you are logged in into iCloud from your device, it will automatically sync settings between all devices logged in with the same account.
 
Version 1.2.0 is now available.

I've added MacOS support and support for various new languages.
It also includes a better way to follow rss feeds, I'll add new categories in the Discovery section over time.
