ReadKit
RSS and read-later client for Mac, iPhone and iPad
Syncs with hosted services such as Feedbin and behaves the same on the Mac as it does on iOS. People who follow a lot of sites use a reader like this to pull articles out of social feeds and into a list they control. Some of those services also route email newsletters into the same list, which keeps them away from the inbox.

Moved to ReadKit in late 2025 after years on Reeder Classic, which he says had gone creaky, and a spell with NetNewsWire. It syncs with Feedbin, which he uses partly because it puts email newsletters in the reader instead of his inbox.
