About Miniflux
Miniflux is a minimalist feed reader. Its homepage describes a page layout, fonts, and colors chosen to make reading on a screen easier, and a focus on simplicity over additional features.
It can automatically fetch the original article for feeds that show only a summary, and it supports keyboard shortcuts and a lightweight interface for scanning unread items. Installation is done on a server the user controls, using a static binary, an RPM or Debian package, or a Docker image. The homepage states that Miniflux removes pixel trackers, strips tracking parameters from URLs, uses a media proxy, does not forward referrers, and has no telemetry or advertising. These are the developer's stated behaviors and are not guarantees of privacy.
