Developed by Silvio Rizzi, Reeder 2 was our favorite feed reader for Mac when it was released last year, but design wise, it was themed an OSX Mountain Lion app in an OS X Yosemite world.
Now, Reeder 3 is here, available to everyone as part of a public beta. And not only does it have a new look, it comes with a huge number of new features.
Built from the ground up to support OS X 10.10 and above, Reeder 3 will be a free update for Reeder 2 for Mac users. In addition to a new default look, here’s what’s new:
- More themes
- Updated UI
- Unread and starred counts for smart folders
- Hide smart folders in unread/starred view if there are no unread/starred items
- Private browsing support (see Settings > Reading)
- Display the URL in the status bar when hovering a link in the article viewer or browser
- New article viewer display settings: separate font and uppercase options for the title
- Fullscreen now also works when in minimized layout mode
Reeder 3 also supports a host of new services, like Instapaper, as well as deeper integration with existing services like Feedbin, Readability, Feedly, and more.
It’s a fantastic update, and on my Mac, the public beta is working great. Best of all, if you already laid out $10 for Reeder 2, Reeder 3 will be a free upgrade when it exits public beta.
