Open-source alternatives to Feedly

Feedly does 3 jobs: follow sites, summarise and prioritise articles with AI, track keywords. Most projects replace one or two of them, so pick the job you actually need.

Quick answer

Facts checked 21 Oct 2026

Open-source alternatives to Feedly that run locally, allow commercial use and need no paid API include FreshRSS (follow sites and track keywords; AGPL-3.0; runs on CPU). None of the 3 projects we track covers all 3 Feedly jobs, so most people combine two or more.
