Description
Bulletin is an RSS news reader for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision, built by Pixelfolio Inc. and rated 4.2 out of 5 by users on the App Store. Instead of an algorithmic feed, users add the specific publications, independent writers, blogs, and specialist sites they want to follow, then read through them with the help of AI-generated summaries.

The app's Smart Summary feature extracts the full text of an article, rather than relying on the short snippet an RSS feed provides, and turns it into a bullet-point or one-sentence summary. A separate Quotes mode surfaces the article's key quotes word for word, and Bulletin can also suggest a clearer headline when the original is vague or clickbait-y. Summaries can run across a whole feed or category at once, each point citing the source it came from, and can be copied, selected, or shared directly from the app.
Feeds are organized into user-defined categories, importable and exportable via OPML, with individual sources that can be muted, renamed, or hidden. A For You feed combines chosen categories using a Weaved mode that prevents any single frequent-posting source from dominating the feed, or can be switched to strict chronological order. Articles open in a distraction-free reader with adjustable fonts, text size, and light/dark themes, and can be saved to a Read Later list that syncs via iCloud across devices. On-device translation is available for sources published in other languages, and Bulletin strips tracking parameters from article links; anonymous usage analytics can be turned off, and article content itself is not collected for analytics.
Bulletin is free to download, with a free tier that includes 20 opens of the distraction-free reader and 5 shared Smart Summary or headline-improvement uses. Bulletin Pro removes those limits and adds alternate app icons, sold as an in-app purchase with monthly, yearly, and lifetime options, priced at checkout.
