What’s new

Version 5.0.1 · Updated September 20, 2026

Unread recently added: • Huge improvements around hero images, article list thumbnails, and widget thumbnails • Syncing with FreshRSS and Miniflux • The ability to quickly mark old articles read This update adds these improvements: • This update fixes a layout bug that would occur on some newer devices. • This update adds modest improvements to article list thumbnails. Specifically, with this update Unread will avoid zooming in on a face or another subject so far that the resulting thumbnail ends up being grainy. When zooming in on a face or another subject, Unread will include a little more of the area around that subject in the thumbnail. • When Unread is unable to import feeds from an OPML file because of a problem with that file, Unread now shows a more descriptive error message. • This update fixes a bug that prevented images from appearing properly in widgets on macOS when the “Dim widgets on desktop” setting was enabled. • This update prevents Unread from offering to add a FreshRSS account from a Fever account under some specific circumstances where Unread can detect that the Fever account is not syncing with a FreshRSS server.
