Miniflux
Miniflux is a minimalist and opinionated feed reader written in Go. It is a single, self-hosted binary with no external dependencies and no JavaScript required on the front end, making it extremely lightweight, fast and private. Miniflux takes a firm stance on simplicity: it sticks to the essentials of reading feeds, removes the clutter, and is fully self-hosted so your subscription data never leaves your own server.
Key Features
- Single binary — Compiled Go application with no runtime dependencies; install once and run, or deploy via Docker.
- No JavaScript required — The interface works without a JavaScript engine, keeping pages light and fast to load.
- Keyboard-driven reading — Efficient vi-style keyboard shortcuts for navigating articles and feeds.
- Readability support — Optional readability extraction converts cluttered HTML into clean article text.
- Article filtering and rules — Define custom rules to auto-fetch, mark or mute articles as they arrive.
- OPML import and export — Easily migrate subscriptions to and from Miniflux.
- Fever API compatibility — Works with a range of third-party mobile RSS clients through the Fever API.
- Integration options — Built-in support for services such as Readability, and an RSS Bridge is available for sites without native feeds.
