Newsairy 1.13 is here, and most of it is something you can’t see. The way Newsairy shares state between its screens has been rebuilt from the ground up. It’s the plumbing that decides what each view knows, and when it updates — and it’s now cleaner and easier to build on. You shouldn’t notice a single change there, and that’s exactly the goal: everything opens and…
Newsairy 1.12 is here, and it makes adding a feed a lot simpler. Adding a feed used to mean knowing the feed’s address — which often meant digging through a site’s footer, or through its page source. Now you can paste the address of the website itself and let Newsairy find the feeds for you: it reads the page, collects what it offers, and shows you what it found. Sites often publish…
Newsairy 1.11 is here, and it’s about reading the whole thing. Some feeds only send you the first paragraph. A new button in the article view fetches the full text and shows it right there, in your theme, your font and your text size — no browser, no layout jumping around, no cookie banners. Tap it again to go back to what the feed sent. It all happens on your device : Newsairy fetches the…
Newsairy 1.10 is here, and it’s about getting a closer look. Tap any image in an article to open it in a new full-screen viewer , where you can zoom in for a closer look — handy for charts, screenshots and photo-heavy feeds. The article list gets clearer, too. Dates now adapt to how recent an article is : just the time for today, the weekday and time within the last week, and a full date for…
Newsairy 1.09 is here, and it’s about clearing your list without lifting a finger. A new Mark as Read on Scroll option lets the list clear itself as you read: articles are marked read once they scroll past the top — no tapping, no swiping. It keeps up even with fast flings, so nothing slips past unmarked, and it resets cleanly when you switch filters so it never touches what’s still…
A small maintenance release focused on iCloud sync. Fixed Fixed an iCloud sync issue so your articles and read state stay consistent across your devices.
Newsairy 1.08 is here, and it’s all about how you move through your reading. Two new time-based Smart Feeds join the existing 24/48/72-hour views: Last 7 days (a rolling week) and This week (from the start of the current week to now). The week’s first day follows your device’s region by default, but a new Settings → Calendar option lets you override it to Saturday, Sunday, or…
Newsairy 1.07 adds support for another aggregator: Inoreader . Inoreader is a popular cloud RSS service. If you use it, you can now connect your account to Newsairy — your subscriptions, read state, and starred articles sync in both directions across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Signing in happens on Inoreader’s own secure login page, so Newsairy never sees your password. Inoreader sync is part of…

Newsairy 1.06 is here, and it’s all about reading. Tune how articles look in the in-app preview. A new Font & Size panel lets you pick the typeface — from a curated set of readable fonts, or any font installed on your device — and choose between the system Dynamic Type size or a fully manual setup with title size, body size, and line spacing. Reach it from the preview’s text-format…
Newsairy 1.05 is here, and it’s all about Custom Smart Feeds . Create your own keyword-based feeds that pull together matching articles from across all your sources. Give each one a name, a custom color, and one or more keywords — any article with at least one keyword in its title, summary, or content shows up there. Just like the built-in Smart Feeds, they carry an unread count badge and…
A refinements release, with a couple of small additions and some fixes. New Mark all articles as read directly from the Articles List view. Feed subtitle now shows the time of the last update. Fixed Small UI improvements: keyboard toolbar corners are now properly rounded, and the Delete action on Smart Folders shows the correct color. Under some circumstances articles could bounce back to unread…

This update brings two new features: FreshRSS support Newsairy now connects to FreshRSS , the free, self-hostable feed aggregator. If you run your own FreshRSS instance, you can now sync it directly with Newsairy. Flexible thumbnail sizes in the Articles List You can now choose how thumbnails appear in the Articles List: no thumbnail, small, medium, or wide. Pick the layout that suits your reading…
I’ve been a solo developer for a long time. Long enough to know that the hardest decision before a launch isn’t technical — it’s this one: do I ship now, or do I wait until it’s more complete? I faced it again with Newsairy, my new RSS reader for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. And I chose to ship early. Ten days in, I’m glad I did — but not for the reasons I expected.
Newsairy 1.01 is out — and this one is for the self-hosters. Miniflux is a minimalist, self-hosted feed aggregator. If you’re running your own instance, you can now connect it to Newsairy. Your subscriptions, read state, and starred articles will stay in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac — in both directions. Miniflux sync is part of Newsairy Pro , a one-time purchase with no subscription.
After 14 years shipping PhotInfo as a solo developer, I’ve just launched my second app. Newsairy is a straightforward, iOS-native feed reader for people who still love to organise the news their own way. It supports RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds, so you can follow blogs, news sites, newsletters, and almost any source that exposes a feed. I built it because the reader I was using kept adding…
After more than 14 years on WordPress , this site has a new home — built with Hugo and hosted on statichost.eu , a privacy-friendly hosting service with no cookies, no tracking, and no Big Tech dependencies. The move wasn’t just about changing address. It was a chance to start fresh: a cleaner design, a faster site, and a single place for all my apps. Speaking of which — this is no longer…

PhotInfo 8.22 and PhotInfo NG are now available on the App Store. This update introduces a new option in Settings that lets you override the system appearance and force Light or Dark mode, giving you more control over how the app looks.

Whether you’re a photographer, privacy-conscious user, or metadata enthusiast, PhotInfo gives you full control over your photo’s EXIF/IPTC tags — with a clean interface, powerful editing tools, and native performance. 🔗 See…
This update introduces a new option to disable reverse geocoding — a sort of paranoid mode 😆 for those who prefer to share absolutely no data. With this setting, even the information normally used to convert coordinates into human‑readable addresses is withheld, so you’ll only see raw latitude/longitude values without place names. The update also includes small optimizations and refinements to…

This website is a refreshed version of the original PhotInfo site. When building this new website, I had a clear set of goals in mind: speed, privacy, simplicity, and flexibility . After careful consideration, choosing a static site was the perfect fit for these priorities. In this renewal, I migrated all previous posts and content from the old site ( https://qebapps.wordpress.com/ ) and expanded…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A truly useful app for photographers 9 nov 2024 - SueKoechlin I’ve written before to praise this app which I have been using since it’s very early days many years ago. It is true that phones are now, finally, getting better at allowing changes to times, locations and comments but seeing and being able to edit the full EXIF information is invaluable. So many editing apps change the date…

While updating PhotInfo for iOS 26, I read articles about Apple’s new dynamic material—Liquid Glass. They sparked some thoughts, which I’ve shared in a short article . That post also marks the tentative launch of a new section on this site: Developer Notes . I’m not entirely sure where it’ll lead, but I imagine it could become a space for deeper reflections, technical insights, and…
I recently read an article asking “ why do we need this ?” – Liquid Glass. Why? . It’s a fair question—but there are plenty of reasons why users, developers, and Apple all benefit from Liquid Glass. In the ongoing battle between native APIs and web APIs, native tools offer clear advantages. But to make those advantages visible and compelling, aesthetics can play help. Apple understands what’s at…
