Feedbin is an open source[2] feed reader created by Ben Ubois and launched in March 2013[3], one day prior to the announcement that Google Reader was shutting down. It is a web application which can be self hosted on a web server or used through a paid subscription.[4][5][6][7][8] It has an Android client based on News+ as well as a native iOS application.[9][10]

Since its launch, Feedbin and its related software have been regularly updated with new features, enhancements, and integrations, including, but not limited to:

  • Privacy protections that hide user activity from third parties[11]
  • Visual upgrades, such as new themes and automatic dark mode[12][13]
  • Subscribing to newsletters with custom email addresses[14][15]
  • Browser extensions that provide "read later" functionality[16]
  • YouTube embeds[17]
  • Airshow for playing podcasts subscribed to in Feedbin[18]
  • Triggering Actions in response to feeds[19]
