Elfeed is an extensible web feeds client for Emacs supporting Atom, RSS, and JSON Feed formats. It provides a search-based UI inspired by notmuch, backed by a stable local database of feed entries.

Use cases

  • read rss feeds inside emacs
  • aggregate atom and json feed subscriptions
  • search and filter feed entries locally
  • sync news feeds from the terminal
  • replace a gui rss reader with emacs

When to choose

  • you live in Emacs and want feed reading without leaving it
  • you need a keyboard-driven, extensible feed reader with a stable local database
  • you want fast fetching via curl, including on Windows

When to avoid

  • you want a graphical feed reader outside the terminal/editor
  • you don't use Emacs and don't want to learn it
  • you need mobile or web-based feed sync out of the box
