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
