Why WinNewsWire

Built to be fast, calm, and yours

Every detail follows Windows Fluent design — crisp typography, layered surfaces, and an interface that gets out of your way.

Fast & native

Built with WinUI 3 and .NET — no Electron, no web wrapper. Launches instantly and stays light on memory.

Private by default

Your feeds live on your PC. No account required, no analytics, no profiles sold to advertisers.

Three-pane layout

Sidebar, timeline, and a clean reader view. Skim hundreds of headlines, then dive in — all in one window.

Keyboard-first

Power through your reading with NetNewsWire-style shortcuts. J/K to move, Space for next unread.

Full-text search

Find anything across every feed in an instant with built-in SQLite FTS5 search — even offline.

Star & organize

Star articles to read later and group feeds into folders. Smart feeds surface Today, Unread, and Starred automatically.

A reader you'll enjoy

Reading that respects your attention

Articles render in a clean, distraction-free view powered by WebView2. No ads, no popups, no cookie banners — just the words.

  • Light & dark themes that follow your Windows system setting with a Mica backdrop.
  • Unread tracking that just works — mark read on scroll, or mark all read with one key.
  • Open in browser any time you want the full site, with a single press of Enter.
