About Flux News

Flux News: High-Performance Miniflux Client

Elevate your reading experience. Flux News is a fast, fluid, and deeply integrated newsreader designed specifically for the Miniflux backend. 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.

Podcast Excellence

• Integrated Player: High-performance playback with variable speed control.

• Smart Management: Automatic download of new episodes and automatic deletion after listening to save space.

• Advanced Audio Features: Full chapter recognition for easy navigation and a built-in sleep timer.

• Backend Sync: Your playback progress is synchronized with Miniflux, so you never lose your spot.

• Dedicated Downloads View: Manage all your offline audio content in one place.

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.
