Built to outperform standard web interfaces, it provides a seamless workflow that keeps your content accessible, even when you're offline.

Master Your Feed with Ease • Offline-Ready: Unlike a browser, Flux News stores your articles locally. Sync your feeds once and read them anywhere, on the plane, in the subway, or in remote areas without an internet connection. • Intuitive Gesture Control: Navigate your news with natural swipe gestures. Quickly triage your articles, mark them as read, or save them for later with a simple flick of your finger. • Effortless "Scroll-to-Read": Experience a friction-free "inbox zero" workflow. Articles are automatically marked as read as you scroll over them, so you never have to manually clear your queue again. • Deep System Integration: Share interesting finds instantly using the System Share Sheet or send articles directly to your configured third-party services. • Direct App Linking: Open articles directly in their respective installed apps for a cohesive experience that feels right at home on your device.

On the Road • CarPlay: A safe, audio-centric interface for your vehicle's dashboard. • Seamless Integration: Access your downloaded podcasts and control playback safely while driving.

Tailored for Your Device • OLED-Optimized Design: Choose between Light, Dark, and a specialized True Black mode designed specifically to save battery and look stunning on high-end displays. • Precision Filtering & Search: Instantly sort through your content by status (Unread, Read, Starred), category, or individual feeds. Use the powerful search to query your entire Miniflux backend in seconds. • Quick Access to Discussions: Open article comments directly within the app to stay on top of the conversation. • Home Screen Widgets: Access your articles directly from your device's home screen with the new native widgets. • Background Sync: The app now can automatically synchronizes in the background, keeping your news updated with your Miniflux server.

Privacy by Design Your data belongs to you. Flux News acts as a transparent window to your own server. • Direct Sync: The app communicates directly with your Miniflux API. • No Third-Party Tracking: We do not collect, store, or analyze your reading habits. • No Middlemen: Your credentials and content never pass through any external servers other than your own.

What’s new

The following has been improved:
• Fix crash with too many news items on startup
• Optimized the expanding the news items in the list
• Updated translations (thanks to contributors)

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
