About Riff News
Keeping up with the news shouldn’t mean opening twenty links and stacking tabs.
Riff shows you the stories from your sources one at a time, full screen: the headline, the picture, the gist. In a second you know if it’s for you. Yes? Read it right here, in the app. No? Swipe. No account, no ads, no tracking.
YOUR SOURCES, YOUR PACE
• More than 1,000 sources in French and English, switched on in one tap
• Paste the address of a site or an RSS feed to add your own
• Hide a source or set how often suggestions appear: the feed adjusts
• Playlists: your categories grouped under the name you like, up to 10
• For You: a feed composed on your iPhone from your reading, with “fewer stories like this” one tap away
• Subject: tap it to find the articles that talk about the same subject, in your sources and beyond
The article’s text shows in the app when the publisher makes it freely available. If it is for subscribers only, Riff shows the excerpt and the link: it never gets around a paywall.
TOO LONG? AN AI SUMMARY, ONE TAP AWAY
Tap the Riff logo: Apple Intelligence writes a short summary above the article, which stays right below. Nothing is summarized on its own, and the text you read is always the publisher’s. It needs a device that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later), with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings. Without it, everything else in Riff works.
LISTEN (experimental)
Riff reads the article aloud, in French or English, with the voices of your device: the text is sent nowhere. Controls on the lock screen, with headphones and in the car. You need an enhanced or premium voice installed in Settings.
YOUR WATCHLIST
Keep an article in one tap: it is stored with its text, and its AI summary if it has one, and opens even offline.
WIDGETS, RIGHT ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
The next cards of your feed or of a Playlist on the home screen, in three sizes, and on the lock screen, with the number of articles left to read. One glance, and you know.
NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING
Riff has no account and no server: your device fetches articles directly from the publishers. Your sources, settings and reading history stay on your iPhone and, unless you turn sync off, in your private iCloud. Export the sources you added yourself (OPML) to open them in another RSS reader.
Articles belong to their publishers: Riff sends you to the source and is not affiliated with any of them. Apple Intelligence is a trademark of Apple Inc.

Latest updates
1.1.2
CORRECTIFS POUR L’IPHONE DUO
• Les boutons du haut (Liste de lecture, catégorie, Réglages) ne restent plus vides après une rotation de l’écran fermé ou un passage en écran partagé.
• Écran fermé, la barre d’actions ne recouvre plus les boutons du haut en paysage, et l’app ne se fige plus quand tu tiens le téléphone à l’envers.
• Dans la moitié gauche de l’écran partagé, la barre d’actions passe en colonne à gauche, comme sur l’écran fermé.
• En passant de portrait à paysage, la liste apparaît tout de suite à côté de l’article.
• Quand tu changes d’app et que tu reviens, l’article ne passe plus en plein écran derrière la liste.
1.1.1
RIFF EST GRATUIT
Fini la limite de 20 cartes, l’essai et l’abonnement : tu lis autant que tu veux, avec tout Riff. Si tu avais lancé l’essai ou t’étais abonné avant cette version, tu peux l’annuler dans les réglages de ton compte Apple (Abonnements) : Riff n’en dépend plus.
1.1.0
NOUVEAUTÉS ET AMÉLIORATIONS
• Importe tes abonnements depuis un fichier OPML (Miniflux, FreshRSS, NetNewsWire…) : tes dossiers deviennent des catégories, et un récapitulatif détaille ce qui a été ajouté ou ignoré.
• Bien plus d’articles ont leur photo en couverture : quand le flux n’en donne pas, ou une trop petite, Riff prend celle de la page de l’article, ou la même photo en plus grand chez certains éditeurs.
• Le widget affiche maintenant Pour toi, ton fil composé d’après tes lectures, et un nouveau widget s’ouvre dessus.
• Les confirmations et les boutons Annuler s’affichent juste au-dessus de la barre du bas, sous ton pouce, et au-dessus du lecteur quand tu écoutes un article.
• En mode clair, « Pour toi » et les accents verts de l’app adoptent un vert émeraude plus franc, et son sous-titre tient sur une seule ligne.
• Dans ta liste de lecture et dans un sujet, le menu d’un article propose aussi « À propos de cette carte », et dans un sujet « Suivre » la source d’un article suggéré ; la bande en haut d’un sujet est plus étroite et ramène à la liste d’un toucher.
SUR L’IPHONE DUO
• Écran ouvert, la liste à côté de l’article est en verre légèrement teinté des couleurs de l’article lu. Ses rangées gardent leur ordre, l’article en cours y est marqué à sa place et sa rangée reste accrochée en haut ou en bas quand tu fais défiler la liste.
• Tu passes aussi d’un article à l’autre d’un swipe directement dans l’article, à côté de la liste.
• Ta liste de lecture s’ouvre à gauche, à la place de la liste des articles, et l’article choisi s’affiche à droite.
• Tourner l’iPhone Duo fermé ne fige plus l’app sur certaines cartes avec photo, tourner l’appareil ne laisse plus la carte décalée, et un article lu depuis un sujet s’affiche bien à droite de la colonne.
CORRECTIONS
• Un article ouvert compte comme lu dès que tu le quittes, même en revenant en arrière ou en choisissant autre chose.
• Dans un sujet, l’en-tête « Sujet » ne saute plus au retour vers la liste et les cartes en attente restent stables à l’ouverture.
• Les flux qui contiennent un « & » mal écrit dans une adresse, comme L’Équipe certains jours, se chargent de nouveau ; Food & Sens, dont le flux n’existe plus, quitte le catalogue.
