Unread caches RSS articles per feed account for offline reading with settings local to each device. Accounts sync through the feed service.
Last updated
Unread splits feeds from display. Subscriptions and read states live in the connected feed account, while cached articles, themes, and gestures stay in local app storage. The reader works as a beautiful shell over standard services.
That makes login the migration for content and settings screens the errand for looks. Offline caches rebuild per account on demand. Exact folder names may vary by version, and iOS hides the container anyway, so manage everything inside the app. Background refresh keeps morning commutes stocked overnight.
