Sparrowhawk

Enabling your doomscrolling in comfort and style

A modern RSS reader for Android. Built for readers who value simplicity. And those who really want buttons to navigate between articles.

Why Sparrowhawk?

📖 Modern Reading Interface

Developed with a modern interface. Plus why aren't there more apps with buttons to navigate between articles? If there were I wouldn't have needed to develop Sparrowhawk. An overreaction, maybe, but I'm happy.

🛠️ Powerful Management

Automated feed discovery—just paste a website URL. Organize your sources with custom categories and OPML support.

🎨 Deep Customization

Material 3 interface with Light and Dark modes. Choose your favorite Google Fonts for a truly personal reading experience.

🧹 Privacy First

All data stays on your device. Local storage and foreground-only maintenance preserve your battery and privacy. No logins required.

✨ Free!

You can use Sparrowhawk without limitations for free. I've yet to implement a completely voluntary donation mechanism yet, but even when I do, the app will remain free.

Meet the Developer

Hi! My name is Donny, and I built this app because I wanted an RSS reader that's simple, had some simple navigation controls that doesn't require me to constantly swipe as I'm browsing, while providing a high-quality reading experience that felt native to modern Android.

My goal is to keep Sparrowhawk fast and lightweight.
