Where Does Read You Store Feeds and Data?

Read You keeps feeds and articles in its private sandbox at me.ash.reader. Migrate with OPML export or Reader API sync.

Last updated

Read You stores feeds in a local database inside its sandbox. Without root that folder is scenery. The supported exits are OPML export and Reader API sync.

Local accounts suit one phone. Synced accounts suit a reading life across devices. Pick local for simplicity, add FreshRSS or Miniflux behind it when the library grows teeth.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move Read You feeds to a new phone?

Export OPML under Accounts and import on the new phone. That carries feeds and groups. Read states travel only through a synced Reader API account.

Local account versus Reader API account?

Local accounts keep everything on device. Reader API accounts sync through FreshRSS, Miniflux, or Tiny Tiny RSS. Local is simple, synced survives phones.

Does OPML export keep read status?

OPML carries feeds, not read states. Pair it with a self-hosted backend if history matters. Otherwise accept a fresh unread count.
