Fluent Reader is a tool meant to offer an alternative for those who want to stay up to date, read the news, or follow their favorite topics, but keep their privacy intact and stay far from cookie and registration policies, and data agreements.

Fluent Reader is a program with a very descriptive name. It is a tool meant to be useful and easy to handle. Although nowadays many people avoid RSS technology for news reading, as it is much easier to have subscriptions and click on given preferences, using an RSS reader it is still an optimal alternative for the do-it-yourself type of individuals and people who love privacy.

Using the program is a fluent and smooth experience. It does not overcomplicate things, has perfectly well-functioning features, and offers a minimalistic GUI with a full dark mode alternative. You can choose to have your favorite articles displayed in lists or in the card view mode. The tool also allows importing/exporting OPML files or loading the content from direct URLs. When it comes to content manipulation there are options such as: reading the full text or loading given webpages by default, filtering the content by reading its status, searching for given articles using regular expressions.

The program's distinctive advantage is the fact that it offers privacy. In a world where everyone wants your data, it is difficult to bypass these processes because the majority of services are super appealing and smart, which means very little thinking and action is needed from the end-user. Although it could be more difficult setting your RSS info stream, once it's done, you can enjoy it freely, for a long period of time.

Based on what we have seen so far, Fluent Reader is a program that gives you the advantage of privacy. Another big advantage is that the tool is free and open-source (you can also check out more about it on GitHub) — which gives you the advantage of transparency. Upon installing the app, you get a free trial; this is actually an unlimited trial and all payments are considered donations and totally not mandatory.

Fluent Reader is a simple tool. And that makes it perfect. It has all the features and the customization you could need from an RSS reader. Besides that, it is a free resource and has an excellent-looking GUI. From now on, reading your favorite articles and staying up to date with your favorite topics will be an effortless experience. Start using Fluent Reader today and you can be thankful for the future.
