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.
