About FreshRSS

FreshRSS is the streamlined, open-source RSS aggregator for anyone who prefers to curate their own news rather than have it pre-sorted by algorithms. Feeds from news sites, blogs and specialist publications are brought together in a fast, mobile-friendly interface – complete with filters, categories, full-text search and third-party apps via the compatible API. With managed FreshRSS Hosting from OpenHosting, you get this platform as a ready-configured service: you read and curate, we run the infrastructure.

The core benefit is control and calm: no advertising, no tracking, no algorithms reshuffling your sources. You keep an overview of your industry and competitors, statistical reports highlight your most active feeds, and filter rules automatically hide the noise. Via the API, you can access the same content from mobile reader apps.

Who is FreshRSS suitable for?

FreshRSS is ideal for Swiss communications and research teams that systematically monitor industry news, for editorial teams and PR agencies with source and media monitoring, for research and consulting teams that need to keep track of specialist publications, and for anyone who has never found a suitable replacement since Google Reader was discontinued. Its multi-user functionality makes the instance suitable for team use: each person maintains their own subscriptions, while administration remains centralised.

FreshRSS hosting in Switzerland

OpenHosting runs your FreshRSS instance as a fully managed service in Swiss data centres in the Zurich region. Your reading history and feed lists are stored privately and in compliance with the Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG) – without access under the US CLOUD Act. Daily 3-2-1 backups (hourly in the Business plan), security updates, version upgrades and monitoring are all included in the price. You need neither maintain servers nor keep an eye on update cycles.

You can easily import existing feeds via OPML from Feedly, Tiny Tiny RSS or your previous reader – categories included. After that, our support team is on hand for questions about configuration and connecting mobile apps via the API. Managed FreshRSS hosting is available from CHF 15 per month with unlimited feeds – the Business plan offers high-performance operation and remote administration for larger teams.
