Adding feeds

Everything in Newsbin starts with the feeds you follow. There are a few ways to add one.

Search for a site

The easiest route: open Add Feed, type the name or address of a site, and Newsbin will look for its feed for you. Pick the result and it lands in your Followed list.

Newsbin can discover feeds even when a site doesn’t advertise one obviously. Paste the site’s normal web address (for example https://example.com) and it will search the page for an attached feed.

Paste a feed URL

If you already have a direct feed address (often ending in /feed, /rss, or .xml), paste it into Add Feed and Newsbin will validate and subscribe to it.

Add from Safari

Newsbin includes a Safari extension so you can follow a site while you browse:

1. Visit a site you like in Safari.
2. Tap the Newsbin extension in the toolbar.
3. The site’s feed is added to your Followed list, no copying URLs around.

If you don’t see the extension, enable it in Settings → Safari → Extensions (iOS/iPadOS) or Safari → Settings → Extensions (Mac).

YouTube and podcasts

Newsbin treats YouTube channels and podcast feeds as first-class feeds. Add a channel and its uploads flow into your timeline; video and audio play right in the app’s reader.

After you subscribe

• New feeds appear under Followed. Group them with folders to keep things tidy.
• Bringing feeds over from another app? Skip the one-by-one work and import an OPML file instead.
