Blogs Are Back is a privacy-focused RSS reader built for people who want to follow writers, not algorithms. Your feed, your rules.
We built Blogs Are Back because we believe the web is better when people connect directly with the writers they care about. Social platforms optimized for engagement have made reading feel like work—an endless scroll of content ranked by what keeps you hooked, not what you asked for.
RSS is different. It's simple, open technology that puts you in control. Subscribe to blogs you love, read them in chronological order, and never miss a post. No algorithms deciding what's "relevant." No engagement metrics. Just writing worth reading.
"The best time to start a blog was 10 years ago. The second best time is now."
Most apps store your data on their servers. We do things differently.
Feed content is cached in your browser using IndexedDB. The posts you read never leave your device.
Create an account to sync your subscriptions and reading status across devices. Still no content tracking.
We store which blogs you follow and which posts you've read—but never the content itself.
Your reading habits are yours alone. We can't see what you read because we designed it that way.
No dark patterns, no hidden tracking. We tell you exactly what data we collect and why.
Chronological feeds mean you see posts when they're published, not when an algorithm decides.
RSS gives writers a direct line to readers. No platform taking a cut or controlling distribution.
